Very well done. Thanks for creating this.

This is wonderful! One thing I would like to see is for the listing on the Configuration screen to have some sort of organization to it - perhaps grouping certain elements together. For example, having all the search options together, and the MySQL config options, etc. Or, if that’s too difficult, then sorted alphabetically. As it is now, it’s a bit confusing.

Thanks for a great tool! =)

Very nicely done.

PROBLEM—

Upon downloading Mt-medic, I can’t access the software. OSX doesn’t know how to open a .cgi extension.

The mt-medic.cgi file is a text file. You should be able to open it from TextEdit or some other text editor (I use BBEdit). After editing it, make sure to save it as a plain text file.

Where exactly do I insert the text I’ve now found? In the mt-cgi directory: where’s that?

I am assisting Thomas from youthurban.com I installed MT-MEDIC succesfully. Is running, but getting the following error.

==============================
You cannot log in to MT-Medic untill you have specified the $ADMIN_PASSWORD in the configuration section of the mt-medic.cgi file.
==============================

Have supplied the $ADMIN_PASSWORD correctly. Am stumped……

Problem Solved

Applause: MT-Medic

I am receiving the following errors on the MT-Medic: Plugins page. Any ideas?

Subroutine add_global_filter redefined at e:\websites\periodiclogic.com\mt\extlib/bradchoate/postproc.pm line 22, line 22.
An error occurred:

Can’t find unicode character property definition via main->e or e.pl at unicode/Is/e.pl line 0

Thanks in advance,
Rob

This error shouldn’t cause you any concern. MT-Medic tries to load all modules it sees referenced in a plugin so that you can see any problems they might produce when loaded by the plugin. This particular module wouldn’t actually be loaded by the plugin itself when used with MovableType 2.6x (the plugins that use it check the version of MovableType), but MT-Medic has no way of knowing that.

Brad wrote the bradchoate::postproc module in MT 2.2 days and its functionality has been merged into the current versions of MovableType, hence the warning you see when MT-Medic tries to load it.

I’m getting this error:

Can’t call method “blog_id” without a package or object reference at mt-medic.cgi line 1700.

…on one blog but not the other. The one that’s giving me the error is also the one that is suddenly having problems with mtsearch (no errors, just shows the same two entries over and over regardless of the search term). This same site was recently moved to a new server. Could this error be related to a perl module missing?

Sorry…brain freeze! Forgot to post that the error occurs clicking on the “plugins” link…otherwise MT-medic works in all other respects.

This tool is great, I got the file installed and think I did everything correctly, but my problem seems to be a bit more involved.

My webhost did some updating which screwed up royally all of my files. A friend helped me to restore these, but now unfortunatley, neither of us can log into my account now.

Hence my use of this dandy little tool, but when I try to create a new author I get the following message (since there seems to be NO authors on my log at all now):
An error occurred:

Invalid author id ‘0’ at /var/www/vh/illusivelife.com/mt-medic.cgi line 746.

What do I do now? HELP! I have been locked out of my blog for WAY to many days now and am going through withdrawals!

I was not able to login as the default user and pass so I was told to try out medic. I did, and when I tried to make a new author, I got this error:
Invalid author id ‘0’ at mt-medic.cgi line 746.

The Invalid author id ‘0’ at mt-medic.cgi line 746 error means that MT-Medic couldn’t correctly create the user. This usually means that your database is missing, misconfigured or corrupted.

If you’re using DB_Berkeley, make sure that your configuration points to the correct directory and that the directory contains the Author tables (author.db, etc.) along with the other tables. If they’re there, they are either corrupted or maybe you host changed the version of DB_Berkeley. Try the MT-Forum for a solution.

Any chance we can have a flag to treat the set value of $ADMIN_PASSWORD as a crypt()ed value rather than plaintext? I’m rather nervous about storing such a password in a text file in the clear.

Hi Stepan. I found that the show_source(url) function wasn’t working for me in Safari (v1.1), so I modified it as listed.

Mt-medic is great and has certainly helped me. Thanks for writing it.

function show_source(url)
{
//replacing the win.location stuff with more basic code, because the code I commented out fails in Safari…
win = window.open(url, ‘mtmedic_source’, ‘width=600,height=400,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes’);
// Open window
// win = window.open(”, ‘mtmedic_source’, ‘width=600,height=400,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes’);
// Clear contens
// win.location = ”;
// win.location.reload();
// Reload with URL
// win.location = url;
}

What’s a pretty blog!!!

PROBLEM with MT-medic.
the cgi works but it will not link to the proper page. my mt server has an address with a special port number, like www.aaa.com:9090 but MT-medic will creat links to www.aaa.com (without the port numner) so the links simply do no work.
