I have an MT 4.261 install on a Redhat 5.6 with a Mysql 5.1 backend. It has been running without issue for many many months.

Some time last night bloggers were no longer able to enter text in the body section of the Entry screen. All other fields on the screen accept text. I also noticed that the blog selection drop down isn't working while the sub drop downs all work fine. Additionally as administrator I can't disable plugins either. I get the popup to confirm the disable but nothing happens after that.

I have multiple other blogs running on the same host with their own MT homes and static spaces as well as the same version and attaching to the same DB. They are working fine in all areas mentioned above.

I haven't found anything in the activity logs and confirmed the CGIPath in mt-config (unchanged in over a year).

I'm at a loss and under pressure to resolve it. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob

The issue with my blog: sidebar ... gone
horizontal menu .... most links are gone

I attached here below the exchange of emails between me and the hosting company
so that you can have a much better picture of my problems. I would appreciate some body can help me to solve the issue with my blog.

My repair of your database is now complete. All tables are reponding as OK,
and not corrupted, etc. The Login button is appearing in the upper right
corner and appears to be functional.

I cannot be certain why elements of your page are not appearing, as there
are not any errors in the Apache error logs pertaining to this and no
tables are corrupt. You may want to investigate these issues further from
within Movable Type or using their documentation.

Best regards,

Hi,

I have the following problems:

It seems the login problem is still there, as I just tried to login and

got this error message:

Can't call method "id" on an undefined value

Earlier this afternoon, I contacted one of your staff. I attached here below

the related exchange of emails on this matter. Hopeful it will help you have

a better picture of my problem.

Hello,

I repaired a few crashed tables in your database. Please see if you are
still receiving the error.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

Sincerely,

Any hacks on this ?

Thanks,
Srikanth

BEGIN {
my $b__dir = (-d '/home4/myhome/perl'?'/home8/myhome/perl':( getpwuid($>) )[7].'/perl');
unshift @INC,$b__dir.'5/lib/perl5',$b__dir.'5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi',map { $b__dir . $_ } @INC;
}

Put this in the mt-check.cgi, test passed.

Which file should this block put into for a working mt? mt.cgi? or else?

Thanks.

doesn't seem to work, the results always come out with the newest posted first and we need it the other way around; chronological with the earliest dat first.

thanks

I have Markdown turned on for our blog posts but after an entry is made, I look at the index file and see that
or
haven't been converted to compliant XHTML
tags.

Can anyone help troubleshoot?

Thanks.

What do I have to do to make this work?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks

Is there any way to factor out the website aspect, and get a blog at this http level:
http://mysite.com/blog

Or, must a blog be published as follows:
http://mysite.com/website/blog ?

Are there any reasons why one should not use the latest version of MT4.261 or 4.3, for example?

Thanks.

I'm really frustrated and would HUGELY appreciate anyone's help.

I recently upgraded my 3.x MT blog to v5 due to malware on the old blog.

The old blog featured archive paths like so, which I like:
http://www.vagabonding.com/travelogue/000100.html

The new one changed the paths to:
http://www.vagabonding.com/travelogue/2003/07/things_that_go.html

TWO QUESTIONS:

1. Any way I can revert back to the old path type? I hate to change all my permalinks.

2. If the answer to the above is no, how can I edit that path to remove the year, month, and, ideally, include more of the blog entry name?

On a different server, without MT, we also have a bio page for these people.

Is it possible to have a feed of entries on this separate server. Kind of like a, "Recent posts by John Doe" that will automatically show only their posts, without having to manually update it?
