| Nov 13, 2013 at 23:32 | comment | added | Purcell | The error actually seems to be the server trying to write to a folder that doesn't exist. On the test server (exported from) the site ID was 10, on the production server (importing to) the site ID is 6. So I am really confused why the importer is trying write to a folder for a site ID that doesn't exist. the error log is from the production server, which is being imported to | |

If so, someone with more expertise should look at this. Or you can manually move your media library, however that can be very frustrating as I know from recent experience :-). Can give you some tips though if you're going for a manual move. | |
| Nov 13, 2013 at 21:58 | comment | added | Purcell | yup, wp-content is set to 755 | |
| Nov 13, 2013 at 21:25 | comment | added | eskimo | Did you check the file permissions for the wp-content folder? Needs to be 755. | |
