MT-Blacklist Error : Byte Order Is Not Compatible
May 17, 2005 Posted by KP
This is about MT-Blacklist, an anti-spam add-on for MovableType, which works great by scanning incoming comments, deny or force moderation if the comment contains specified words or exceeds URL limit. The comment system is hardly usable without MT-Blacklist, it takes much time to delete hundreds of automated spam comments each day.
After changed hosting, the perl version is different on the new server, MT-Blacklist can’t read the database data due to the different byte order, error message looks like:
Plugin error: plugins/Blacklist.pl Byte order is not compatible at blib/lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into blib/lib/auto/Storable/thaw.al) line 363, at lib/MT/PluginData.pm line 28 Compilation failed in require at lib/MT.pm line 291.
The problem was fixed after I deleted all records in the table mt_plugindata.
