I really want to switch from sh404sef to Joomsef - but I have 300 urls with custom titles and meta that I have created in sh404sef.

I exported my urls from sh404sef then I tried to import them into Joomsef using the import feature in "manage custom urls" and in "manage sef urls" but it doesn't work.

I get the following error:

Warning: file(ftp://...@67.18.5.12/public_html/international-love-scout.com/tmp/sh404SEF_sef_urls.csv) [function.file]: failed to open stream: operation failed in /home/burnsai3/public_html/international-love-scout.com/administrator/components/com_sef/models/import.php on line 68

I can export a custom url list from Joomsef then re-import it effectively, so I know that my ftp is set up correctly.

Do I need to convert the .csv file that sh404sef creates to a .sql file somehow?

Thanks

Hello,

No converting should be necessary. Could you please send me the exported .csv file to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for testing? Thank you.

Any solution? Have you solved?

Hello gain,

The problem was not with JoomSEF, but with server side settings. What problem are you experiencing?

Hello, we at the Internet Marketing Company are experiencing a similar problem. When we try importing we recieve this message:

and so on.

DO you know what the problem is because we downloaded the original redirects as a template. Do you know why this has happened and what we can do to fix this.

Hello,

What version of JoomSEF do you use, and could you send me the file you are trying to import to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , so I can check its format? Thank you.
