MT and mySQL taking Dumps?

March 17th, 2003 · 2 Comments

OK. I’m having a lot of problems with MT-based weblog right now. Sometimes the main index of the blog disappears (it gets rebuilt as a completely empty HTML page) or it gets only partially built when I rebuild the files. Occasionally, when somebody posts a comment, the main page rebuilds as a blank page.

Unfortunatly, MT has no error log I can find, and I don’t have access to the mySQL logs, so I am having a hard time trouble-shooting this one.

Any ideas would be appreciated… I’ll comb through the MT discussion boards once I get to work, and I did pay for some limited support, so maybe I’ll shoot Ben and Mena an e-mail if I can’t “self-service” this.

In the meantime, please be aware that things are shaky.

    In situations like these, I advocate chucking your system out the window.

    I’d do so, had I physical access to the system. However, this is a “Hosted” web site. Until I get static IP and SDSL kicking it at home, it shall remain so.
