Misc. Ramblings

So, pair.com support reminded me that my account allows access to the server logs. In examining the error log, the only thing I could find that seemed out of place was the following:

www.seto.org [Tue Mar 21 2006] [error] File does not exist: /path/to/mt-diary/mt-site.js

This error made be pause. Pause. Okay, mt-site.js, by default, is found in the /~home/mt-static directory. Why is MT looking for it in /mt-diary? I don't know. But if it wants it in /mt-diary, that's where I'll put it. So I copied the file into /mt-diary. But. I still get a 500 error when I rebuild Categories. Sigh.

The error log doesn't indicate any error. So I download the raw log and find the following:

[21/Mar/2006:] "GET /path/to/mt-diary/mt.cgi?__mode=rebuild&blog_id=1&type=Category&next=0&offset=&limit=&total_entries=1230&is_bm=&entry_id=&is_new=&old_status=&old_previous=&old_next= HTTP/1.1" 500 535 "http://www.seto.org/cgi-bin/path/to/mt-diary/mt.cgi" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060124 Firefox/1.5.0.1"

For some reason, MT is looking for mt-cgi in /mt-diary. But. The default location for mt.cgi is in cgi-bin. Why is MT looking for it in /mt-diary? Clearly, something is misconfigured. I don't have the time this morning to follow up but I will check on things later tonight.

UPDATE: What may be misconfigured is my brain. I have to double check the paths in the error messages. I may have read them wrong so perhaps the paths are correct. If so, then the server log messages aren't very helpful and I need to keep looking for the answer.

Aloha!
