When people try to login to comment, my MT4.25 give me a 500 Internal Server Error.
When I log in from home and the computer recognizes that I am the owner(prob from Cookies) it lets me comment and they show up on the blog.
But as I said. When you log in from any site that you haven't logged in from(prob no cookies), it just go to the 500 Internal Server Error.
I have rebuilt my site several times with the option for people to use other email addy's other then typepad and also with just the typepad option turned on.
Any hints would be appreciated. :)

This is to hit the button that then causes the 500 internal error.
Thanks,
Movable Type Pro version 4.25b2-en with: Community Pack 1.62, Professional Pack 1.21
That is the version I am running.
Hi Anyone know where to find easy to follow instructions (after the install phase) for using Movable Type. I work in photoshop but no nothing about making/working on websites? HELP (thanks)
I just signed up to add Movable Type to use along with my regular website. my web host (pair.com) and movable type took care of the installation. I'm a complete beginner with Movable Type (someone else does my website). I can't find easy to follow step by step instructions with what to do now (the movabletype.org documentation seems to be directed to web programmers/designers etc.
Not to be flippant, but maybe you should tell them to read some of the documentation and make them create a look for you that you like since that's their job. Other than that, if you have the basic configuration down (like it's configured to publish to the URL of your choice), everything is safe for you to play around with managing folders, categories, entries, pages, images, videos, etc. No CMS, be it WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Movable Type or some other, is really going to be customizable on how it looks to people visiting your blog without you knowing how to edit HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc. since it's still a form of website development.
Here are two links to where the problem starts.

Got it working...
Here is how. I went to the mt folder and did a chmod command to set all the cgi stuff to 777 and then back to 755. I ran a check and the upgrade check and it all said everything was ok.
Now when I login it asks for the type of email account you want to use to login.
Not sure where I got this but someone had posted to put all your files .cgi to 655, which all that did was cause the page not to work. sooo I just put them back to 755 and then disabled the ones that needed to be in order to lock the config part of it down.
Sooo... if you are getting 500 errors, try resetting your chmod settings on your .cgi files to 755 and then run setup. :)
