wordpress-importer half imported but now can't get back to admin panel

[toniab]

Hello,

I am trying to transfer an existing wordpress onto heroku.

Update: Added wordpress-importer plug-in and activated it and put in my xml file (which was 5mb) but it caused an Application Error if i try to import with the download file attachments checkbox.
Without the checkbox, it completes but loads a page that reports that most of the posts failed to upload. I tried uploading this same .xml on a generic wordpress.com free site and it works.

Update: Now I can't get into the admin panel at all because it always redirects to "/upgrade" and i get stuck in a loop.

Ouch never tried that myself. But sounds screwed.

1. can try heroku wp flush cache first or heroku restart
2. then try to get back admin login. Maybe edit the wp-config
3. if all else fails, maybe have to download some database tools and just replace the whole database and edit some lines using search and replace database ( UPDATE SET = replace with ) try googling...

@toniab did you succeed in this migration?

I'd also like to migrate an existing site and can't find a clean cut method!
