Movable Type Knowledge Base: Reading From Filehandle Failed

Question

When rebuilding, I receive a message that says Reading from filehandle failed at lib/MT/FileMgr/Local.pm.

Answer

This usually means you have specified an Archive File Template that uses an invalid tag for a particular Archive Type.

Check your Archive File Templates on the Settings > Publishing screen under the Archive Mapping section¹, and make sure you are only using the correct available tags for the Archive Type as noted in Can I control the name of my files?.

¹ In versions prior to 3.2, navigate to Weblog Configuration > Archive Files.
