Recently I’ve been experiencing erratic behavior of my weblog. I’m getting strange errors that don’t tell me what the hell is happening.
I post something, and get an error, but when I check back, it has been posted. I try making test posts and they go fine. Then when I make lengthier ones, sometimes they publish, sometimes they don’t.
Given the symptoms I’d gather it was a plugin conflict since it seemed that the text is the one that decides wether it freaks out or not. But strangely enough, when I kill the text parsing plugins, the same error occurs.
I searched the web and found out that there are a lot of similar cases… exact cases to be precise. The kicker is, that this all happened within the past week. And people have been tracing it to a cPanel (which is a type of administration/interface system used by most webhosts nowadays). Apparently, there’s been an “update” to some modules and they broke MovableType, and now the whole MT blogging world (myself included) have severely crippled systems because of these upgrades.
I hope this is resolved soon.
