Can't get Ecto working again

| | Comments (1)

Since I upgraded Movable Type to v 3.01, I can't get Ecto working - which makes me realize just how much I've come to depend on it for authoring my postings.

It's strange, though - I have MT 3.01 set up as a clean install in another directory, and Ecto works fine with that install, so it doesn't seem to be an Ecto problem.

The error message I get back (reproduced below) is the same kind of message I get when there is a cgi module that can't find where perl is installed. But I've checked all the cgi modules and they all point to perl in the right place. And I've tried copying the mt-xmlrpc.cgi file over from the working version, to no avail. All help welcome with this one!

The server encountered an error attempting to retrieve the requested resource. Please notify the owner of the problem.

Error notes: Premature end of script headers: /hw54/d90/oren/weblog/mt-xmlrpc.cgi

I'm not running MT3 yet. but most of the times I've seen similar errors it's been from one of three things:

file permissions
text file xferred in binary rather than ASCII
bad path to perl in the first line

However, copying the working version should have covered that. Strange...
