    Thanks, Tim. That worked. I'd been using a much longer address which suddenly stopped working.

    Where do I look for information on this? I went to login to cpanel today and found the address was simply gone. I can access the site normally and FTP things, but the actual cpanel address seems to have...moved? Thanks, Angela Edit to add: I'm on server 60

    Thanks, Bruce. Of course, I remember seeing it there now that you said that. Heh.

    I'm having the same issue. But how do I know what server I'm on, and do I need that info to open a help ticket? ~Angela

    David, Thank you A LOT!!!

    Hey Guys. Yesterday, I decided to run the upgrade to 3.2 from 3.16. I backed up all three of my blogs, thankfully, because the upgrade totally screwed EVERYTHING and I ended up having to erase it all and reinstall 3.2 from scratch. Everything installed fine. Here's where it gets dicey. On the advice of an MT guru friend (who doesn't really have time to help at present and lives in Australia), I decided to diverge from my usual "install MT in public/mt directory" tactic and instead install the script in the cgi-bin. I've heard this is safer and that it will also solve some other problems I was having. So. The program script is here: /home/lzwqvgvw/public_html/cgi-bin/mt The mt-static files are here: /home/lzwqvgvw/public_html/mt-static And I'm writing entries to here: /home/lzwqvgvw/public_html/mt BUT. I can't seem to import the file to repopulate the blog with entries. The file is simply a text file that MT made yesterday just before the upgrade, I have not edited it in any way, and as far as I can tell it seems to be complete. Any idea what may be causing this problem? [FILE IS HERE TEMPORARILY so you can access it] What I'm wondering is if it's a chmoding problem since the MT install (and therefore the import folder) resides in a subdirectory of the cgi-bin. Do I need to (temporarily) chmod something differently to allow the importer access? Thanks! Angela PS - tried attaching copy of import file below and it wont attach for some reason.

    YAY! Finally had enough caffeine to fix it. Believe it or not, my whole mess was the result of a <body> tag that I SWEAR I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE IN MY LIFE, and have no idea where it came from. So, thanks for looking everyone, and cheers! Angela

    Hi All! Well, I've hit a brick wall (think I've been looking at code WAY too much for the past few days), and for the life of me I can't figure this one out. I have this really nice layout that I've been customizing for use with MT. Currently, I'm building in a test blog here, and aside from the individual entry archive, everything's been looking great. The problem, far as I can tell, is something wonky in the sidebar, which is being generated uniformly across the blog by the "banner" module. If you look at the rest of the site, you can tell where I WANT the comments stuff to go - and needless to say, it isn't partially in the sidebar. So, here's the "Banner" module, which is also (as I said) being used by all the other pages on the blog: ></head> <body><div id="wrapper"><div id="header"><ul id="nav"> <li id="current"><a href="http://www.closetdrama.com/mt/">journal</a></li> <l><a href="http://www.closetdrama.com/bp/">blog</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.closetdrama.com/mt/cast.html">cast</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.closetdrama.com/mt/lists.html">lists</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.closetdrama.com/mt/notify.html">notify</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.closetdrama.com/mt/others.html">others</a></li> <li><a href="mailto:closetdramatic@yahoo.com">contact</a></li></ul></div> <h1>2005</h1> <h2></h2><div id="sidebar"><a href="http://www.closetdrama.com/mt/about.html"><img src="angela.gif" alt="about angela" /></a> <a href="http://www.closetdrama.com/mt/afgs.html"><img src="guitar.gif" alt="a few good songs" /></a> <table border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="0" summary="Monthly calendar"> <caption><$MTDate format="%B %Y"$></caption> <tr> <th abbr="Sunday" align="center">S</th> <th abbr="Monday" align="center">M</th> <th abbr="Tuesday" align="center">T</th> <th abbr="Wednesday" align="center">W</th> <th abbr="Thursday" align="center">T</th> <th abbr="Friday" align="center">F</th> <th abbr="Saturday" align="center">S</th> </tr> <MTCalendar> <MTCalendarWeekHeader><tr></MTCalendarWeekHeader> <td <MTCalendarIfToday>bgcolor="#EEEEEE"</MTCalendarIfToday> align="center"> <MTCalendarIfEntries><MTEntries lastn="1"><a href="<$MTEntryLink$>"><$MTCalendarDay$></a></MTEntries></MTCalendarIfEntries> <MTCalendarIfNoEntries><$MTCalendarDay$></MTCalendarIfNoEntries> <MTCalendarIfBlank> </MTCalendarIfBlank></td> <MTCalendarWeekFooter></tr></MTCalendarWeekFooter> </MTCalendar> </table><br> <p class="sidebar" align="left"><b>Archives by Month</b><br> <MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly"><a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a><br /> </MTArchiveList><br> <p class="sidebar" align="left"><b>Category Listings</b><br> <MTCategories show_empty="1"><a href="<$MTCategoryArchiveLink$>"><$MTCategoryLabel$> (<$MTCategoryCount$>)</a><br> </MTCategories> </p> <form method="get" action="<$MTCGIPath$><$MTSearchScript$>"> <p class="sidebar"> <label for="search" accesskey="4">Search this site:</label><br /> <input id="search" name="search" size="15" style="background-color: #999999; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px dashed #000000; " /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Search" style="background-color: #999999; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px dashed #000000; " /> </form> </p> </p> <p class="sidebar"><b>Design By:</b><br> <a href="http://www.pureweb.ca">Jack Oiao</a> [at <a href="http://www.oswd.org">oswd</a>]</a><br> <b>Hosting:</b><br> <a href="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/">Total Choice</a><br> <b>Powered By:</b><br> <a href="http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/">MT 3.16</a></p></p> </div> If anyone can figure this out, I'd be very grateful. Also, if you think I've flipped my lid and there's NO WAY the problem's in the sidebar, let me know and I'll copy/paste the parts you need. Thanks, Angela EDITED TO ADD: When I look at the main page, there's no margin problems. And, since it's running off the same module, that kind of rules out the idea that the problem is there. Hence, here's the code from the individual entry archive, starting with the comment code: ><hr style="border: 1px dashed #73717D" color="#A09AA5"> <MTEntryIfAllowPings> | <a href="<$MTCGIPath$><$MTTrackbackScript$>?__mode=view&entry_id=<$MTEntryID$>" onclick="OpenTrackback(this.href); return false">Trackbacks</a> (<$MTEntryTrackbackCount$>) <MTPings lastn="15"> </p> <ul> <li> <p class="content"><$MTPingBlogName$> linked with <a href="<$MTPingURL$>"><$MTPingTitle$></a> </MTPings> </MTEntryIfAllowPings> <br /></p> </ul> <MTEntryIfAllowComments> <p class="content" align="left"><a name="comments"></a>You Said</p> <p class="content"> <MTComments> <$MTCommentBody$>Says: <b> <$MTCommentAuthorLink spam_protect="1"$></b> at <$MTCommentDate$> <hr color="#FFFFFF"> </MTComments> <MTEntryIfCommentsOpen> <div class="content"> <p class="title" align="left"><b><u>Post a comment</u></b></p> <form method="post" action="<$MTCGIPath$><$MTCommentScript$>" name="comments_form" onsubmit="if (this.bakecookie[0].checked) rememberMe(this)"> <p class="content"> <input type="hidden" name="entry_id" value="<$MTEntryID$>" /> <div style="width:180px; padding-right:15px; margin-right:15px; float:left; text-align:left; border-right:1px dotted #bbb;"> <p class="content"> <label for="author">Name:</label><br /> <input tabindex="1" id="author" name="author" size="20" style="background-color: #73717D; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px dotted #000000; " /><br /> <label for="email">Email Address:</label><br /> <input tabindex="2" id="email" name="email" size="20" style="background-color: #706E7A; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px dotted #000000; " /><br /> <label for="url">URL:</label><br /> <input tabindex="3" id="url" name="url" size="20" style="background-color: #73717D; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px dotted #000000; " /> </div> <div class="content"> Remember personal info?<br /> <input type="radio" id="bakecookie" name="bakecookie" value checked /><label for="bakecookie">Yes</label><input type="radio" id="forget" name="bakecookie" onclick="forgetMe(this.form)" value="Forget Info" style="margin-left: 15px" /><label for="forget">No</label><br style="clear: both;" /> <label for="text">Comments:</label><br /> <textarea tabindex="4" id="text" name="text" rows="5" cols="25" style="background-color: #73717D; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px dotted #000000; "></textarea><br /><br /> <input type="button" onclick="window.close()" value=" Cancel " style="background-color: #78747E; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px dotted #000000; " /> <input type="submit" name="preview" value=" Preview " style="background-color: #78747E; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px dotted #000000; " /> <input style="font-weight: bold; background-color: #797582; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px dashed #000000; " type="submit" name="post" value=" Post " /><br /><br /> </div> <p><br /><br /> </p> <input type="hidden" name="static" value="1" /><input type="hidden" name="entry_id" value="<$MTEntryID$>" /> </form> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> <!-- document.comments_form.email.value = getCookie("mtcmtmail"); document.comments_form.author.value = getCookie("mtcmtauth"); document.comments_form.url.value = getCookie("mtcmthome"); if (getCookie("mtcmtauth")) { document.comments_form.bakecookie[0].checked = true; } else { document.comments_form.bakecookie[1].checked = true; } //--> </script> </div> </MTEntryIfCommentsOpen> </MTEntryIfAllowComments> </html>

    Thanks, Bruce! Knew I was just overlooking it.

    Hi. I've password protected a directory on my website (http://www.closetdrama.com/mt), but I'd like to un-password it. I can't find a way to do this. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks, Angela
  11. angela29
    Thanks, Don. You're the best!
  12. angela29
    Don's got it. The new domain already lists total choice, but as follows: Nameserver 1:DNS3.TOTALCHOICEHOSTING.COM Nameserver 2:DNS4.TOTALCHOICEHOSTING.COM In my now year-old welcome email for the webspace, it says this: NS1.TOTALCHOICEHOSTING.COM NS2.TOTALCHOICEHOSTING.COM Is this simply because there's as yet no actual *space* associated with the new domain (also, it lists as "locked")? What I really wanted was for visitors of the old blog at the old space to be able to email me for the new location. I don't really want to refer folks anyway, because there are those I would choose to hide from. So I guess I'll just let the old one die slowly and painfully, and that's a-okay by me. What do I say when I open the help ticket? "hi. i'm such and such and i need to move from blahblah.com to blahblahblah.com?" You guys are fast with the answers!

    here's the dns, now what? http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.c...closetdrama.com

    Hi. I want to switch from my current domain to one I just registered, and I have several questions: 1) How will I know when the new domain has propagated and is actually there to switch to? 2) I will be able to use my current webspace for the new domain, right? And it won't hurt Movable Type? I read the changes that have to be made in a previous thread, but just wanted to be sure that was all that was involved. 3) What will happen to the old domain? (ie - while it's "parked" will there be a page I can use as a referrer?) Thanks so much for your help. (And I hope I didn't put this query in the wrong place!) ~Angela
  15. angela29
    Thanks! Now if it would just work like it's supposed to....
  16. angela29
    Okay. I'm gonna see if I can explain this accurately. Here's how my category archives look now: http://www.beecharmerswife.com/mt/archives/cat_me_daily.html And here's the code delivering the logbody content: <div id="log"> <p class="body1"> <a href="<MTBlogURL$>"><accesskey=" 1"><b><$MTBlogName$> | <a href="<$MTBlogURL$>">Main</a></b></a> <span class="description"><$MTBlogDescription$></span><br /> <MTEntries lastn="190"> <$MTEntryTrackbackData$> <MTDateHeader> <p class="date"><$MTEntryDate format="%x"$></p> </MTDateHeader> <a name="<$MTEntryID pad=" 1"$>"></a> <p class="title"><$MTEntryTitle$></h3></p> <div class="logbody"> <$MTEntryExcerpt$> </$MTEntryExcerpt$><br /> <br /> Posted by <$MTEntryAuthor$> at <$MTEntryDate format="%X"$> | <a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>">Rest of the Story</a><MTEntryIfAllowComments> | <a href="<$MTCGIPath$><$MTCommentScript$>?entry_id=<$MTEntryID$>" onclick="OpenComments(this.href); return false">Comments (<$MTEntryCommentCount$>)</a> What I WANT is: The background to remain yellow, the dotted line around the whole box to stay intact. THEN I want just the title, permalinked to the full entry with the comment count out to the side. I want it singlespaced, a line-break after each title. Is this even possible? If so, how would I code it? Edited to add: if you need the stylesheet for reference, I can post it too.

    Hi Guys. It's been a while since I've been over here, but since what I took away from my last experience was HOW HELPFUL YOU ALL ARE , I thought I'd try here when the problem popped up this afternoon. In the last few days, I've added categories to my MT journal site. Previously, I hadn't utilized the category functionality, but I thought "what the hey" and now here I am. On most of the category archive pages, everything displays perfectly: http://www.beecharmerswife.com/mt/archives/cat_best_of.html http://www.beecharmerswife.com/mt/archives/cat_me_daily.html See? No problem. In fact, the only category where I seem to have a problem is this one: http://www.beecharmerswife.com/mt/archives...me_and_she.html Now, it only has nine more entries than the other category, and my "lastn" number in the category archive template is 300. In other words, I have no idea why it wouldn't be loading correctly. I wiped my history and rebuilt the site just to make sure I wasn't seeing some glitch, and then in a final desperate act, I came over here. Does anyone have any clue what could be causing this? Thanks!
  18. angela29
    Thank the Net Gods! It's working now. What the hell kind of glitch was that, anyway?
  19. angela29
    The problem is that the domain is accessible from NOwhere. Where it certainly WAS yesterday and the day before and the day before. Also, if you go here: http://www.f2s.com/domainname and punch in shescape.net like you're going to register it, it lists it still available for purchase whereas yesterday, like I said, it was listing all my friend's contact info. I know this probably has nothing at all to do with TCH [despite the fact that we registered the domain and purchased the space here] but it is getting very upsetting to me.
  20. angela29
    Yesterday, everything looked fine, worked great. My friend's website was up and running, and when I went to check what personal info was displaying on whois, everything listed [we were actually looking into going private with her domain as a result]. Today, her site isn't coming up at all. I had installed Movable Type, and was working on configuring it. http://www.shescape.net/mt.cgi Nothing, as you can see. But even more disturbing is the fact that a whois query of the domain today lists it as available again. How the heck could THIS have happened? Any ideas?
  21. angela29
    Hi. I just got a new domain and set it up for a friend. At the time I registered it, it completely didn't occur to me to make it private [my own personal domain doesn't list much of my contact info, just the admin email]. Well, needless to say, now she's identified right down to what color her panties are, and we really, really need to change this. Is there a way to do it now that the domain's already set up? Thanks!
  22. angela29
    Thanks VI, and mucho thanks to the patient guru, andy. Everything's looking good now. Just waiting for propagation.
  23. angela29
    Yes, original ticket was AWA-89775, then I submitted it to the domain people because I guess I'd put it in the wrong place. They gave it a different number: Incident: 040325-000642 How do I update the nameservers? And isn't that what the message from customer support said I *didn't* need to do? I had thought that was the problem too...
  24. angela29
    I just replied to the ticket I had open already, so hopefully they'll be able to answer better this time. [i didn't give them the web addresses as visual aids last time.] But aside from all that, does anyone know if there's anything I'm supposed to be doing in order for the switch to work? I didn't think there was, but I've started feeling like such a dumb*ss since it didn't work like I thought it would the first time...
  25. angela29
    Okay. In the past 24 hours I've opened help tickets and emailed old registrars...the problem's still there. Here is the old site splash page which is still coming from my old registrar because it isn't located anywhere else [it's in black and white and says something about switching hosts]: http://www.beecharmerswife.com Here's the new site, all ready to go with its splash page [same picture in color with hyperlinks below]: http://67.15.16.3/~lzwqvgvw/ Here's what the friendly domain people at TCH said: "Thank you for writing customer support. There is a difference between modifying the name servers of a domain and transferring the domain. Transferring the domain will move it to our registration services, modifying the nameservers will just point the domain to a different location for it's hosting. It appears that the domain name was transferred to our service without a problem, so the domain is active and available for access on your customer account. If you are having problems with accessing your hosting account, please contact our hosting department for further assistance." Evidently, SOMETHING hasn't been done correctly or the domain would be reading from TCH instead of from my old registrar, who, by the way, also says the switch went off without a hitch: "Please go to your new registrar. You have transfered this domain and it has nothing to do with us any more." Is there something *I'M* supposed to do? What the heck?
