Importing from WordPress doesn't seem to work right
Hello,
I’m trying to import the entries from my WordPress powered blog but there seem to be a timeout error even though the data is stored on the same server and same database (running multiple diaries on same database).
My first few entries were in February, but TextPattern only imports entries from February to August or September. I’ve tried importing several times but there seems to be a timeout error, even though it only takes 2-3 seconds. Also, there are no error messages whatsoever. Re-writing over 370 entries is too time consuming.
Also, is there a way to set the imported entries to not use Textile? ^^;

Error message:
Safari can’t open the page.

Safari can’t open the page “http://miu.keikenti.net/textpattern/index.php”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
This seems to be pretty consistent. I’ve tried importing 3 times now, but the same error appears even if I let a few days pass between each attempt. Last attempt gave me all posts till 13th of October.. still quite a few posts after that.

that’s not an error that can be created by a php script, since php doesn’t have that kind off control over the tcp-connection. Is it possible that PHP is running as APache FCGI or something along those lines? Because it looks like the instance of the php interpreter is completely dying without telling apache what to do, which would mean it’s a server-side problem.
Can you try the same thing out on another server? Just install a db-backup of your WP-db there and try the importer again. (Preferrably on a server by a different hoster).

hmm.. I could try doing the whole importing mess on “localhost”, then use phpmyadmin to copy the neccesary tables and change author + “use textile”
