When posting to Typo using MarsEdit or the admin tools I would end up with a 500 error after submitting the post. Poor MarsEdit didn’t like this very much and would leave the post as a draft which made me unhappy.
While at last night’s Seattle.rb meeting I asked Scott Laird why this might be happening. He said that Typo was probably trying to ping other sites but was taking too long.
So I updated my Apache vhost to set the idle timeout to 120 seconds and added a second process. Now MarsEdit can happily post my blog entries without error!
