The Dreaded Movable Type Internal Server Error
posted by DL Byron on September 09, 2004
New site features, including a store/product blog, and other changes we’ve rolled out have been overshadowed by the Dreaded Movable Type Internal Server Errors. I’ve troubleshooted everything I can think of and now it’s time to replace the whole system - there’s a corruption somewhere. So, this week, I’ll update to MT 3.0 and see how it goes. Until then, the commenting system is buggy and other problems may occur. For reference, see Makiko’s Movable Type Mystery.

I think that’s what I’ve narrowed it down to. What I’ll do next is reformat all Markdown entries, remove the plugin and see what happens. Instead of the export/import/setup option when this started happening, I upgraded to MT 3.0, which solved part of the problem, then the unitialized value started happening and I found it in my activity report.
