Is there a permission, or other setting that will prevent Special:Import from working?
I've not found any documentation other than for Interwiki importing so far at least.
I have exported the MediaWiki help section referenced here
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Copying and saved the generated XML file to desktop.
I have tried this with IE 7 as well as Firefox 2 in case it was an issue of the "save
as" corrupting the xml file. The file is only 75kb. The import does not work and
generates the following error:
"Couldn't open import file Please export the file from the source wiki using the
Special:Export utility, save it to your disk and upload it here. "
I do not have any troubles using the regular upload file page if that's a question.
