Testing, testing

Having some issues with posting today . . . the server wouldn't accept any new files I tried to create.

Update: Of course, the fact that this posted successfully just makes the problem harder to diagnose.

Update the second: It's nice to actually see a post arrive on the site without having multiple 500 errors show up. I didn't even need to rebuild the index files for this post (and the 1st update) to appear as expected.

I hope this means that the modifications to the cgi scripts that Jon mentioned earlier today have actually fixed the ongoing problem. (Or Jon may tell me tomorrow that he was too busy with real life to mess around on the site, and that we still don't know why the site is behaving oddly . . .)

Update the third: Lovely! Not only does the site not spit out regular 500 errors, but it actually rebuilds the index files when I save 'em. Sweet!. Thanks Jon!

Update the fourth: Of course, after I exult about the lack of 500 errors, the edit containing that exultation promptly results in a 500 errror, but it's still better than it's been for a few weeks.
