This evening, I upgraded the Movable Type installation to 4.1, attempting to fix some bugs that I had with the previous version. In the installation of Movable Type 4.1, the Dashboard widget which once worked, was broken, and spat out the following error:
Movable Type was unable to locate your 'mt-static' directory. Please configure the 'StaticFilePath' configuration setting in your mt-config.cgi file, and create a writable 'support' directory underneath your 'mt-static' directory.
After growing increasingly frustrated at the error, I took some time to troubleshoot the problem. It turns out that if you set the StaticWebPath variable in the mt-config.cgi, setting the StaticFilePath variable becomes unnecessary, so I just commented it out, and everything happily works again.
I'm still running into a problem where the "export entries" function doesn't fully export my entries -- it stops at about 1200 entries.
