I am interested in running a weblogging content management system called Movable Type ( http://www.movabletype.org/ ) winder windows basic account. This system has the following requirements:

  • The ability to run custom CGI scripts
  • Perl, version 5.004_04 or greater

And, either:

Support for the DB_File Perl module OR MySQL & the DBD::mysql module

Does windows account on your service meet these three requirements?

Thank you.

Barry, did you ever get MovableType installed? I want to do that also and would like to know your success, and how you had to set up your configuration files.

Cheers,
Tim

I’m in the process of installing MT, but for some reason, it doesn’t appear the DBD:mysql module is installed on the Windows servers.

JodoHost support - any idea when this module will be installed on the Windows server(s)? According to the mt-check script, it’s not installed.

Thanks,
Cory
