 * Hello there,
 * I wanted to move my wordpresssite – therefore I’ve exported my wordpressdata.
   When trying to import them – the following error occurs:
 * fatal error: Class ‘DOMDocument’ not found in /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
   wordpress-importer/parsers.php on line 61
 * Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
 * I am happy to give more infos if required – unfortunately I don’t know where 
   to start.
 * Thanks so much!

 * Ask your host if the php-xml package is installed on your server.
