Installed via CVS and FTP multiple times. I can successfully import using the demo. This happens when you hit next from the import_site page. Any ideas?

What's the URL that's listed as not found? That's the question.

It's possible that something got lost long ago when the menus got shifted, but I dunno. Do you have clean_urls on?
And strangely, importing from the demo has been broken for a long time (it shows a result, but does not save) so I don't know if that's successful.

The URL that I get the error on is: http://lfw.coffinridge.ca/admin/build/import_html/list_filesystem. I do have clean_urls on.

Also, I notice after I try and import, a core file is dumped into my root directory. If I posted this file would that help?

Eep. Well that's certainly a clue. But no, the core file doesn't help me.
If you can find the last relevant entires in your apache error log however, that might.

This sounds like it might be quite horrible to debug.
Could be triggered by any unknown issue, like php release incompatability, strange characters in the filesystem or who-knows-what.
Basically, pretty specific to your exact combination of software versions, down to the OS and patchlevel.
If I can't replicate, I probably can't fix.
Sorry.

Thanks for the help, This seems to be a dreamhost problem. I'm trying to downgrade to php 4 to see if it helps.

downgrading is not good, especially due to tidy, xml & xsl support that actually works in php5

I can't blame any one factor, but I also can't isolate a core dump without lots of hands-on trial & error.
If you really need to keep trying with import_html, it's possible to build/import your site locally on XAMPP or something, then migrate the whole lump. A mess-around, but a practical one.

I run import and after about 5 seconds or so it goes to a 'page cannot be displayed' when trying to open /admin/import_html/list_filesystem

my apache error log says:
[Mon Jun 23 12:21:28 2008] [notice] child pid 1927 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Mon Jun 23 12:21:30 2008] [notice] child pid 1928 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

This is doing my head in. The demo works fine on both http and file paths :-(

I just tried running it from PHP 4.4.7 and it works. Any ideas? My php 5.2.5 is a default install (MAMP OSX). Worst case I'll just switch back to PHP4 to import but its a bit of a pain.

I'm really sorry, But I don't know what can be done about a segfault.
It comes down to the precise versions and platforms and extensions and things.
The extensions it uses - xsl, and (optionally) tidy are the likely suspects, as they are a bit more on-the-edge. Most likely XSL.

But I can't advise on a remedy. I've got a macbook now, and may try having a look at it, but it's not likely to be fixable or even replicable.
:(
