    Hi guys. I am trying to solve tris problem since 3 or 4 weeks. I have to move my blog mypielgrzymi.com (pielgrzymi.wordpress.com
    ) to my own hosting.

    I am exporting my blog using Export tool in my dashboard. When importing my blog to a new server i get 500 error. Some of my post are there and some are missing. Also a lot of photos, pdf’s etc. are missing.
    Question: Are there any special requirements to a new server?

    Next one: What should I do to keep my permalink structure and all links and (of course) mapped domain (mupielgrzymi.com) on a new server?

    Hope you can help me out. Thanks a lot.
    Kuba.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Yes there are specific requirements for a server, those and the 500 error are covered at WordPress.ORG – http://wordpress.org/support/

    Match your permalink structure on your new site to what is used at WordPress.COM – there is an option from the Dashboard – sorry forget the exact sequence – matching helps prevent confusion.
