Full Version: Can Mt Show A Ghost Site?

I've noticed some sort of bug, for which my hosting company claims is caused by MT.
Namely, I've reinstalled (clean install) MT 3.2 (previously had 3.17 upgraded from 3.1).
Last entry made in MT3.17 was in may..the next one (under MT 3.2) was posted three months later, in september. In the meantime MT was working, but I haven't used it (had some issues with commenting system). In the meantime, hosting company made some changes in their hardware and software, my blog was moved from one server to another.
Then I installed MT again, imported previous entries and everithing worked ok for few days. Then I noticed that my category folders are placed in root of the site too (seen through an ftp browser), besides the same ones located in .../archives/ folder.
I located a function, in MT Control Panel, which tells MT where to build archives, and I pointed it to .../archives/ but those category folders still exist in root.
That wouldn't bother me (nor it is the bug I mentioned), but sometimes (say once a day) MT stops working. I cannot access (run either) none of the cgi scripts (get an 500 serv error) and what's THE WEIRDEST...instead of newest september entry, I see last may entry together with old CSS and HTML code, which was posted before all mentioned server/MT changes! As if there is some backup of the site which sometimes brings that old site to the surface. Reloading is no help. It loads that old page.

One thing that goes in defence to MT is that I cannot access newest entries entering a direct URL (ie. http://www.mariotomic.com/archives/2005/09...ue_breeze.html)

Any ideas? smile.gif

UPDATE:
It seems that there's something overwriting MT config files. I've just found mt-config.cgi-original in my instalation, where there should be my version of that file (without -original part in the name).
