Sorry About The Fruitcakes

If you are getting a "fruitcake error" when trying to log in to Movable Type, or when adding a post or a comment or something, it's a problem relating to MySQL, and I'm working on it.

Update: It may be to do with the current spam-storm. It's all getting zapped, but that seems to be generating errors on MySQL, because Fluffy keeps killing the comment script while it is querying the database.

I've put something in place to prevent this from causing problems while I do a bit more digging.

Update: Found it. It was indeed the spam-storm. Over 100,000 spams in the past couple of hours, and no sign of letting up. Bleh.

All under control now.

Update: Currently clocking between 600 and 1000 spams per minute. All being rejected.

Update: Confirmed. Spammer smacked, errors stopped. Yay. Bed time.

What's the scoop with the pLog blogs? Mine says something about a suspended account?

Thanks!

Sorry, I'll unsuspend that. It was a suspect in the Great Fruitcake Caper, but turned out not to be guilty after all.

Done.

New error message from my bookmark link and my login link:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /admin.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Well, poop. I'm tied up right now, but I'll have a look soon.
