Server update.

    ————> mysql-5.1.43-win32.msi

    ————> phpMyAdmin-3.2.5-english.zip
ImageMagick-6.5.8-10-Q16-windows-dll.exe
    ————> ImageMagick-6.5.9-4-Q16-windows-dll.exe

This time, I have no trouble. So happy.

In spite of setting “HostnameLookups off”, my httpd records hostnames in “access.log”. I always wonder about it.

On Feb. 8, I had the following log.
localhost – – [07/Feb/2010:13:32:31 +0900] “GET ～ HTTP/1.1” 200 50288
“～” “Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.10”

I didn’t remember my access as a localhost during this time zone. I think it’s maybe the misidentification of an IP address.
But because of described above, I couldn’t know its IP address. So, this time, I buckle down to examine its reason.

At last, I found out it. Though it might be a well-known fact, Apache makes “HostnameLookups on” of a sentence like “Deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx #XX xxxx.com”. Until now, I assumed mistakenly that the “#” and following words were recognized as a comment.

I’ve improved my site so that he/she can get an message page when the file doesn’t exist.
When a client gets this message, he/she will redirect to my top page.

Today, I update from MT4 to MT5.

1. I use this opportunity to do the following four points.
   • I encounter the following error in the Apache’s error log. So I add
     a line “Win32DisableAcceptEx” at “mpm_winnt_module” in the httpd.conf.
     winnt_accept: AcceptEx failed.
   • I also encounter the following warning in the Apache’s error
     log after installing php5.3.1. So I change a line ‘;date.timezone =””‘
     to ‘date.timezone =”string $timezone_identifier”‘ in the php.ini.
     PHP Warning: date()
   • Download mysql-5.1.42-win32.msi from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#win32. Install it with previous configuration.
   • Download ImageMagick-6.5.8-10-Q16-windows-dll.exe from http://www.imagemagick.net/script/binary-releases.php. Install it with previous configuration.
     After that, I have to reboot my windows system. <—-This is very important.
2. Download MTOS-5.01-en.zip from http://www.movabletype.org/downloads/stable/ https://github.com/movabletype/movabletype <<---You can download the latest version.
   • Extract zip file and rename MTOS-5.01-en to MT.
   • Move MT to D:\WEB\cgi-bin.
   • Rewrite the first line of all cgi files as my server environment.
   • Move mt-static to D:\WEB\example.
   • Move the old mt-config.cgi into new MT folder.
   • To upgrade MovableType, access http://example.com/cgi-bin/MT/mt.cgi?
   • Access http://example.com/cgi-bin/MT/mt-check.cgi? Delete mt-check.cgi and mt-wizard.cgi for security reason.
   • For my original Blog template, move the folder I need into D:\WEB\example\mt-static\themes.
   • Move my “mt_logo.png” into D:\WEB\example\mt-static\images\comment

Edit:
   After updating, I have a trouble about “Tag Cloud”. I posted about my problem to the MT forum. A contributor replied to me to create a new blog better than to update old one. When he suggested me so, I had already fixed it. I replaced some templates including the words “tag” and “search”. This may bully me the next time again. If it happens, I’ll make a new blog instead of using old one.

I’ve added a mail form to my site.

When I tried to do it, I noticed A trouble about my comment form of the blog.

Ono sensei is a Japanese and writes her compositions in Japanese, so, at the time someone wants to write a comment, he/she might want to use Japanese.
On my site, however, characters got garbled.

I searched for a solution for a while. Finally I found out it.
I made a line, “MailEncoding ISO-2022-JP”, adding to the file “mt-config.cgi”.

I’ve made the restoration of my server tonight. So happy.
Note :  Japanese    English

How have you been? I was extremely busy in September.

Besides, my server’s been acting up for several days. Its main hard drive is almost dying.
So, my site was closed for a few days. Now, it reopens as I regenerated my drive. But I don’t know when it will be happening again.

Set your mind at ease. I still continue my translation slowly.  😉

I updated my MT yesterday. But I noticed new version 4.3 released.

So, I did it again today.
