Import script won't create files and folders on dedicated server

Question

I am using a script called importbuddy.php to restore a WordPress backup to my new dedicated virtual server.

I think problem is, it creates folders as the apache user of the apache group. As a result, I can't seem to change permissions on the folders (even though I am logged in through Plesk as the admin user). I am hosted on MediaTemple.net and I am using their (dv) Dedicated-Virtual server which uses Plesk.

This is an example of the errors that I am getting when I try to run the script:

Error #65656. Unable to put file contents to /var/www/vhosts/internationalent.com/httpdocs/importbuddy/controllers/ajax.php. Error #65656. Unable to put file contents to /var/www/vhosts/internationalent.com/httpdocs/importbuddy/css/style.css. Error #65656.

How can I just make it so this importer will run and restore my WordPress site?

Answer 1

Instead of using the import script I just FTP'd the files.
