I noticed today that several trackbacks I tried to send wouldn't go through. When I went to click on the activity log to see what was up, I got an error message "500" or something to that effect stating that there was an internal server error of some sort.

Were there any server problems recently?

UPDATE: It just happened again when I went to publish this post. Here was the error message:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@blog.mu.nu and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

UPDATE 2 (8/8 at 1500 EST): It seems trackbacks on all the Minuvian blogs are down. You get the following:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi/mt-tb.cgi on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

1 Blup.

Well, I can tell you why you can't see the activity log - it's too big. I'll clear it out, and then at least you'll be able to see what's happening. Maybe.

2 Okay, I've cleared the log file. Give it another try now.

3 Err, that is, try another post. Or something.

4 Trackbacks at mu.nu get shut off automatically when we get hit by a spam flood. They come back after five minutes.

6 Is the SpamFlood (tm) continuing? I've had similar problems on the two posts I've done this evening.
