Question

 Import-SPWeb -identity <a href="http:///site">http://<web>/site -Path d:\<path>\myfile.cmp -IncludeUserSecurity -UpdateVersions Overwrite

doing an import spweb, I get an error (subject)

But it does exist - if I go there in the browser

I'm also a farm admin - -

any other ideas?

Answer 1

make sure if its a subsite, export/import works on a subsite.

couple of scenarios to double check.

1. check if you are able to get to get-spweb object of the url .

---if it spits expection then you probably dont have access.

2.you need to be a  shell admin to execute the operation

Issue the following commands from powershell using your sharepoint db owner (or installer account):

• $db = Get-SPContentDatabase -Site http://sharepointlovers.com
• Add-SPShellAdmin -UserName “sharepointloves.com\jjayaraja” -Database $db

try then
