Comments busted on my blog. Anyone know how to fix this?
Sheesh. I finally start blogging after two months, and for some reason the comments seem to be busted! Several folks have emailed me to say they've tried to post and can't.
Whenever anyone tries to post, they get this error message:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /mt3/mt-comments.cgi on this server.
Anyone know what might have gone wrong here? If you've had this error on your instal of Movable Type and think you know how I can fix it, please email me for my eternal thanks!

I think I've fixed things. Are they working now?

Yep, looks like it works now! Woo!

What ended up being the fix?

CHMODding the permissions on that cgi script to 755.

Still not sure how the script was changed away from 755, but when I inspected the permissions level it was clearly wrong.
