Full Version: Typekey Error

All morning I've been trying to comment using TypeKey authentication and keep getting the same error.

An error occurred: The sign-in validation failed.

I've reset my key using the handshake, I've added http://mt4.juneeonline.com/cgi-bin/mt/ to typekey, nothing seems to make a difference. Two of my sites are listed in typekey, both with trailing slashes, I tried using the path to mt.cgi and then to mt-comments.cgi. Getting the same error every time.

This was working fine until a week ago when out of the blue I was asked to upgrade to the new community pack when signing in. It was the second time I've had to do this. After the 2nd upgrade procedure, I had lost all my registrations, and had to tick them all again. OpenID works and so does Movable Type, but not TypeKey.

I've read every forum post I can find on the subject and am more than a little frustrated.

All my sites on mt4.juneeonline.com are failing on the typekey signin.

It seems the problem had to do with the htaccess file in the root folder. It had lots of MT specific code that the system had written there. I deleted it all and TypeKey worked perfectly.
