angela29 Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 (edited) Hey Guys. Yesterday, I decided to run the upgrade to 3.2 from 3.16. I backed up all three of my blogs, thankfully, because the upgrade totally screwed EVERYTHING and I ended up having to erase it all and reinstall 3.2 from scratch. Everything installed fine. Here's where it gets dicey. On the advice of an MT guru friend (who doesn't really have time to help at present and lives in Australia), I decided to diverge from my usual "install MT in public/mt directory" tactic and instead install the script in the cgi-bin. I've heard this is safer and that it will also solve some other problems I was having. So. The program script is here: /home/lzwqvgvw/public_html/cgi-bin/mt The mt-static files are here: /home/lzwqvgvw/public_html/mt-static And I'm writing entries to here: /home/lzwqvgvw/public_html/mt BUT. I can't seem to import the file to repopulate the blog with entries. The file is simply a text file that MT made yesterday just before the upgrade, I have not edited it in any way, and as far as I can tell it seems to be complete. Any idea what may be causing this problem? [FILE IS HERE TEMPORARILY so you can access it] What I'm wondering is if it's a chmoding problem since the MT install (and therefore the import folder) resides in a subdirectory of the cgi-bin. Do I need to (temporarily) chmod something differently to allow the importer access? Thanks! Angela PS - tried attaching copy of import file below and it wont attach for some reason.

TweezerMan Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 The import file was not uploaded to the server in ASCII mode. It has Windows-style line breaks in it, which the server won't read correctly. Quote
