I have installed Akismet by copying the files to the plugins directory, but I also do not see anything. The plugin does not show up in the System Overview Plugins, or the blog settings plugins. I am using Akismet v 1.1 and MT v 3.33. Any ideas?

Please disregard my previous comment. It's wrong

Better get an updated version from:
http://akismet.com/mt-akismet-1.1.tar.gz

In the following fragment:

my $tb = MT :: Trackback->load($thing->tb_id);
$sig->permalink(cache($thing->entry_id));
$sig->comment_type('trackback');

Change this:

$sig->permalink(cache($thing->entry_id));

to this:

$sig->permalink(cache($thing->tb_id));

For what its worth, this was fixed in version 1.03 that was released a few weeks ago. Sorry that news of this bug didn't reach me sooner so I could have corrected it.

mjboyle: My guess is the line is just being truncated to a max length in the log.

I'm having this problem as well - hmm. Read all about it.

One more thing: When mine crashes, the log always cuts off the "l" in "mt-akismet.pl" so that it says "called at ... /akismet/mt-akismet.p". I just wondered if anyone thought that was significant, or if the line is just being cut off at the end in the log...

Yup, same problem here with 3.33 no less… This was the only thing that came up with a quick google of the error.

Jeroen Sangers: Do you have a link to the new Akismet version or know the date it was released? I only just installed the plugin and am wondering if I have the new or old version.

For what it's worth, I was seeing nearly the same error with TBPing but with Comment Email Filter (http://plugins.movalog.com/comment-email-filter/manual) from Arvind Satyanarayan. It was even in the same location in the TBPing code.

I just found out that a new version of the Akismet plugin has been released solving the problem above.

I also have the unknown column: text error. I upgraded to MT 3.32 to see whether it solves the problem, but did not have any luck. Did anybody already solve this bug?
