Blog Technical Difficulties
Filed under Blogging
Over the past few months I started getting some error messages when I would build my blog. Here is the exact error message:
Error title:
Error 400! - Windows Internet Explorer
Error message:
INTERNAL SERVER ERROR
An internal server error has occurred!
Please try again later.
Most of the pages would build, but some did not. Several category pages and monthly archive pages would not build.
I searched around the internet for help to no avail. I talked with the people hosting my web site (1&1) and they could not help me.
So I tried upgrading my blog software from Movable Type 3.2 to 3.34. The upgrade went smoothly, but the problem persisted.
This morning I decided to create a new MySQL database (which stores all the content of this blog) and then import my old blog entries from the old database.
That worked!
I lost a lot of customization, but gained some new features from the upgrade to 3.34. Over the next few days I'll reapply my customizations so I should be back where I was with a fully functional blog.
