Longklaw.com

longklaw.com had to move. Let’s hope this new home works out better than the last.

People that use Movable Type know the importance of the file mt.cgi. You can’t really manage your blog without it. After I made that last post I decided to delete a bunch of junk comments. Apparently mt.cgi was using up a lot of resources so my hosting company changed the permissions on that file to 000. I contacted them and they told me that they couldn’t allow me to execute that file again. I checked and discovered that mt-comments.cgi was also set to 000. I guess that’s one reason I haven’t gotten any comments lately. I have no idea how long that had been the case.

I decided to take my business elsewhere. I had several little annoyances over the year and a half that I’d been with them, but I ignored them because the hosting was cheap. At least they created a tarball with those two files so that I could retrieve them.

Now I’m in my new home. I’ve heard that this company is very friendly to Movable Type. I thought about going with a new system like Geeklog, but I decided to stick with what I know for now. Everything should be about the way it was except that all the links at the top probably don’t work yet. I hope to fix all of that over the next few days. If you notice anything else, please leave a comment here.
