mt plugin manager help needed
I've been getting this error when I go to the mt plugin manager page-
not well-formed (invalid token) at line 4, column 10, byte 79 at /usr/lib/perl5/XML/Parser.pm line 185
Is this a dreamhost xml issue, a mt plugin issue or, a "my fault" issue? Should I contact Dreamhost about this?
This wasn't happening until Saturday when I was trying to use the mt amazon plugin before I installed mt 3.
I've tried removing and installing mt plugin manager, upgrading mt, all kinds of stuff.
Help!!

What this *likely* means is that there is a problem on the Dreamhost server, although it might not be anything they can fix...
The "not well-formed" message tells us there there is some problem with the code (ie. something (a token) was passed that was different than expected. Since the file is in /usr (the user directory, for files that almost everyone can get to), it is not your PHP code (and probably not MT's). Also, it's in the /lib/perl subdir---lib for library (like DLLs). So there is a problem with a perl library file, at line 4, column 10, byte 79--or, more specifically, MT passed some token (and object, or a variable or a pointer) to something at line 3, column 10, byte 79 of the perl5 library.
So *if* the problem is with perl, it will have to be fixed there, then updated on the DH server. More likely, though, is that someone made a goof in the MT code, and they haven't found it/fixed it yet. So you'll want to report it to MT, and wait. You might also want to search for "Moveable Type invalid token line 4" and see what you turn up.
Oh, btw---you're hot! I'm so in love with you! I want to marry you and live in a house with you and all your pets! Please send me naked pictures of yourself!
