Full Version: 500 Malformed header when attempting save
It would be helpful to find out what is in your webserver error log.
You'll have to ask your hosting provider--some providers give you an easy way to look at the logs through an online admin panel type thing, others give you access to the raw data files, etc.
That's kind of weird... I don't think most web servers put the error log and access log all into one file. Are they saying, then, that the error log contains data from all of the hosts, and not just yours? Did you give you the location of the error log file? If not, how are you expected to search it? 
I have started to see the following error message when I try to do anything with my blog:
This error just started to show up yesterday. I try to create new entries, and this message shows up when I choose Save.
The only change I have made to MT was to change the static path in mt.cfg. Is it possible this error is related to the fact that I have been unable to export my entries? Help!

How do I access that? (Totally ignorant look.)
I called Sonic. They say the Web server log is an all-in-one thing, and that it might be easier for me to search if I create a CGI program that returns something (the error code?). Not being a CGI programmer, I haven't clue one on how to do that. They said otherwise it is going to be pretty hard to know what to search for.
Any hints? Or should I just delete everything and start from total scratch again?
Also, I had not deleted mt-load right away. If that had been run, would that have caused this problem?

They didn't give me the location of the error log, though it sounds as though they were not adverse to letting me search it. And it does sound like everyone's errors all go into one file.
They said they didn't think it would do much good for me to look at the log unless I knew what I was searching for. Since the tech support person and I were both pretty clueless, and he was passing on what he had been told, I didn't know what more to ask and he didn't know what more to say. Basically, he said (a) write a CGI script to return (something) and (b) try the sonic.net newsgroup and post my question there.
