January 2009 Archives

I recently migrated osric.org from a Fedora Core to a CentOS5 server. There was one hiccup along the way: apparently the groups on the old server didn't exactly match the groups on the new server, so I got internal server error 500 when attempting to log in.

The error logs showed that there was an issue with suexec, and the suexec log (in the Apache log directory) showed the mismatch. Once I changed the group on the files and the directories, everything worked again.

[update]: not quite everything--on the System Information page I'm getting the following error:

Movable Type could not find the script named 'mt-check.cgi'. To resolve this issue, please ensure that the mt-check.cgi script exists and/or the CheckScript configuration parameter references it properly.

Which is strange, because I can access that file directly via a web browser.

[update x2]: I fixed the System Info issue by installing HTML-Parser.

In the actual image, the color bars are all 100x100 pixel squares. Within the rich-text editor (either Movable Type's default or the FCKeditor, at least) you can change the height and width of the displayed image, although I have not found a way to constrain the proportions.
