After upgrading to MT 4.0 things seem mostly OK. I can do everything I normally do with Safari.

However, I'm unable to post with Firefox. I cannot tab or click to get the cursor in the entry body text field, so I cannot use firefox to add entries.

I see this in the javascript console:

uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property Window.App

I've done some searching and haven't seen a solution for this problem.

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Check that you have the correct blog permissions. I also saw this when I was running a test system, if I connected via http://localhost/mt/mt.cgi I would have permission issues even if the logged on user had permission, I needed to connect to http://dev-server/mt/mt.cgi

Thanks for the tip, the same username and url work fine in Safari.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm running MT on apache2 with fastcgi:

AddHandler fastcgi-script .cgi
<FilesMatch "^mt-(add-notify|atom|check|config|feed|testbg|upgrade|wizard|xmlrpc)\.cgi$">
SetHandler cgi-script
</FilesMatch>

Hi

I just had today a similar problem in Windows environment, from one message I got my solution.

I'd problem with http://servername/mt/mt.cgi

I've changed the address with the FULLY QUALIFIED name like http://servername.domain.com/mt/mt.cgi and this works.

I'm running with IIS in a windows environment, but I think maybe a common problem.

Thanks for the help, but it doesn't look like that's what is happening for me.

I've got a self-signed SSL certificate for the domain (let's call it example.net), and none of these combinations work:

http://example.net/
https://example.net/
http://www.example.net/
https://www.example.net/

All of them work with Safari, none of them work with Firefox, all with the same symptoms.

Did you ever figure out a fix for this? I'm having the same problem in both Firefox & Safari... I'm going to have to resort to an external editor like ecto soon!

I did not. I just upgraded to 4.01 and it didn't fix the problem. 'diff' doesn't show any differences that would account for the problem either.

I don't know why a few people seem to be having the problem while presumably most people don't have a problem at all.

(Incidentally, things work fine for me with Safari, just not with Firefox).

Argh. Are you using Safari 2, or the Safari 3 beta? (I'm still using 2)

Also, I just noticed that the same thing is happening when I try to tweak a template... the name can be edited, but not the template itself. Also, the buttons that let you see the template code in color (or not) are missing.

What about you?

I'm using 3 beta (although I thought I had tested it with Safari 2 as well ... but I'm not certain if I did, or just thought about doing it).

I also don't see the buttons that let you colorize the template code.

I don't think it's got anything to do with the browser. I'm getting this too, now, and it's driving me up the wall. Using Camino, my local install gives me no trouble but the remote one has this same problem. It's obviously related to the .js files, but re-uploading them doesn't do anything. I've tried Camino, Firefox and Safari (3.0 beta), and editing on the local server is fine, remote's not. It's just the one remote install, all my other servers are fine. Gah.

Well, I've just installed 10.5 and so have a new Safari. It's now displaying the same issues as Firefox.

I did notice that with both Safari and FireFox things seem to work now if I access the MT admin pages without using SSL.

I had things set like this:

CGIPath http://server/mt/
AdminCGIPath https://server/mt

... for now, I'm just going to switch to non-ssl for both.

If anyone else has any clues, though, that would be appreciated. I really would rather use SSL for the admin stuff.
