Can't upload product xml - invalid file

[Kirkus]

I've copied my 3.8.7PL2 forum under a different domain name on the same server as a test forum. I'm unable to import a product xml file using the Product Manager. I receive a "invalid file specified" error. I've tried both options to import the xml file.

I've run the upload diagnostic without a problem... the diagnostic passed.

I'm running identical forums on the same server using the same versions of MySQL and PHP. I don't have the same problem on the live forum.

Does anyone know what my the cause of this?

When you copied the forum, did you create a new database for this test site? And did you change the Forum URL in the settings area for it? Is there anything in the error_logs (if you don't know where they are, ask your host)?

Hi Lynne. Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately I've wasted your time. I decided to try the import again, to retrace my steps, and discovered that last night I was trying to import the "cp_nav" XML file and NOT the "product_" XML file. I'm so sorry for wasting your time like that.

You don't need to import cp_nav.xml files. They are read automatically as long as they exist in the includes/xml folder.

Thanks for the reply, Wayne. Yeah, I knew that. I've been administrating vBulletin forums for about six years now and I just had a brain-freeze. I don't know what I was thinking. Again, sorry for the unnecessary thread.

Gee, I've never done that!

Not unnecessary. If someone has the same problem in the future, they could find this.

I've tried to import plugins as products and vice versa.. It still complains.
