Crap...

OK. Things are going well... I'm getting "500 Internal Server Errors" everywhere... Permissions are set. Newline problems corrected. Things just seem to die or not work. But then they do work. But then they don't work. Literally. I put a cgi file in the root of this website. Runs fine in the shell. Ran it on a browser through Apache, it worked. Copied it to a folder and executed again in a browser, it didn't work. Copied it back. It didn't work. ??? Extracted a fresh copy in the folder where it didn't work before, it worked. WTF!!! Its the same damn code!!! And what errors are listed in my logs??? The wonderfully helpful "Premature end of headers" error which I am told is a catch all for perl when it has a brain fart... >:(

I'm not liking this. Want to know what I'm doing to fix the most of errors I was getting??? I'm extracting the files again... ?!?!?!? Yeah. For every file after trying for a couple of hours to figure out what is going on, and do the above many many many many time, I just extract an original file and things automagically fix themselves. WTF would that do??? Beats the hell out of me... I even put everything in a new directory and repeated all of the above again. And again... ... And again.

Maybe its time to pursue another blog software... MT used to be so simple, easy, and very robust. Now it's flashy, has plugins galore, and does not work... :\ Anyone have any suggestions that does not involve moving my blog to Blogger or LJ???
