I'm trying to copy a couple hundred of content items from six sections from one 1.0.15 site to another 1.0.15 site.

When compiling all six sections on the source site at once, i get the following error:

Code:

Deleted ../administrator/components/com_export_content/zip/ import_content_data.zipError deleting ../administrator/components/com_export_content/new_version/ import_content_data.zipError deleting ../administrator/components/com_export_content/new_version/ install.mysql.utf.sqlError deleting ../administrator/components/com_export_content/new_version/ install.mysql.nonutf8.sqlError deleting ../administrator/components/com_export_content/new_version/ import_content_data.xml

When I only do 3 at a time, the compiling is successful and I can download the compiled content. When I try to insert the sections on the target site, it goes through the process up to where the summary of what is to be done is given and then when I click save, it goes to a blank page with only the side menu appearing. When I try to insert content items, it is pretty much the same only the page is completely blank. I'm kind of thinking it might be a permission problem somewhere...?? I opened up the category, content, and section coms though with no change. Any ideas? This thing would be so cool and save me so much time if I could get it to work... Thanks

Yes I think you are right it sounds like a permission issue a few things to check.
Make sure:
/administrator/components/com_export_content/zip/..
And
/administrator/components/com_export_content/new_version/..
Are set to 777 if you still have problems it might be a file ownership issue where you may have to contact your host and ask them to give you file ownership of all directories and files site wide as it will cause trouble when trying to install other extensions as well.

For more info on file ownership do a search on the the Joomla forums.

This may be due to the max upload limit set on your server.
To get around it you can make a section/category and use the move or copy feature to put the content in there that you want to export.

I checked again, everything is wide open on those directories and the file ownership is OK also.

Have you got Export Content version 1.7.0 installed on both sites?

Yes I do.

I was getting tired last night so I might have missed something. I'll double check everything again today.

Thanks for your support.

OK, I checked everything again. The permissions and ownership on those directories are fine. Are there any other directories I should check?

It sounds like there may be a corrupted file.
Try downloading Export content again and unzip it locally then FTP the files into place.

Everything except export_content.php will go in :
/administrator/components/com_export_content/...

Also if you can try compiling for Joomla 1.5+ and tell me what happens.

Done. I manually updated all sites with the newly downloaded files.

Compiling all 6 sections for 1.0 brings the same error as above. For 1.5 I get the following:
Error deleting ../administrator/components/com_export_content/zip/ import_content_data.zipDeleted ../administrator/components/com_export_content/zip/ import_content_data.xml

Only doing 3 at a time still works for both.

The real problem is the insertion in the target site.

Results are still the same when inserting on the 1.015 site - goes straight to a blank page.

On the 1.5 site the insertion works like a charm.

oops forgot to add...

I also am getting a blankish page as soon as I click on insert by category. The other ones don't break until I click save on the summary page.

I have tested on 1.0.15 and I can not reproduce the error.

Have you tried a re-install of Export Content?

Although you have checked permissions I still think that that is the problem.
You could try changing permissions site wide to test if the issue is coming from elsewhere like /includes

Or if you are having success with moving a few sections at a time maybe that's what you will have to do.

If you find the solution please post back as it may help anyone else that runs into it.
