MT Join Fight of Dreaded 500

Somewhere the beginning of this month, MovableType was being havoc-ed by a dreaded 500 error. Plagued by the Internal Server Error, I straight away emailed my awesome host support whom also is a friend of mine. We were banging our heads against the monitor trying to spot the problem if it was MT or the server.

Keeping our cool and not pointing fingers, we calmly tried solving the problem. I took steps in disabling the blog awhile and informed visitors of the downtime. Quickly tweaking the MT default layout and only having the shoutbox for communication. Yes, I finally found the other good thing of the shoutbox.

Later then the MT support forums were flocking with more people having same agendas. Quite a bad run for MT since they’re about the release the official 3.2 version. But with potential developers at hand, I think this problem would be solved soon..I hope. The current problem reported is having to do with MT and cPanel.

In the meantime, don’t be surprised if I moved to WordPress awhile till version 3.2 is out. I wanna take it for a test run and see if it’s difference would benefit me for future usage.

Cheers.
