 * I’m attempting to move my hosting from 1&1 to nearlyfreespeech. I’ve got wordpress
   installed on my new host (both old and new running 2.1), and am now attempting
   to transfer. I can download the WXR file succesfully, and even import it to the
   new one seemingly successfully, but once its done, I get the following error:
 * The uploaded file could not be moved to /nfsn/content/noliberalbull/public/wp-
   content.
    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by(
   output started at /nfsn/content/noliberalbull/public/wp-admin/admin-header.php:
   16) in /nfsn/content/noliberalbull/public/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1219
 * I’m really at a loss from where to go from here. I have no idea if this is a 
   wordpress problem or a server problem or what. Any help would be appreciated.

 * Try and chmod the wp-content dir to 777.
 * though, the more official and more secure solution is, I think, to change the
   owner of the dir to web, I believe. best of luck.
