I am trying to install movable type for testing purposes. In the mt.cfg file, there is a place for the path of the database.
Well, since I am only allowed 1 mysql database, I have to use my exisiting one.
What do I type for the path?
This is what I currently have
DataSource c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mt\db
Thanks
Bryan
also, what is the path to perl on jodohost?
the path to your home directory would be c:\hshome\ftplogin
(c:\ on win1, win2 and win4; d:\ on win5 and win6)
Perl is installed to C:\ActivePerl
well, I meant path to perl like
#usr/bin/ etc…
Activate CGI from Web Settings
It would create a cgi-bin for you - domain.com/cgi-bin
well, inside CGI documents, you are suppose to set the first line to the path of perl. I don’t know if something like
#!/usr/bin/perl
I don’t know if that is correct for jodohost.
Hi, here is something I might need.
What is the path to the MySQL socket file?? That is what I think I need to get this thing going.
it should be something like
/path/to/socketfile
woohoo, I did something right 
This is what I put in the cfg file
DBHost mysql.jodoshared.com
DBPort 3306
where the hosting stuff goes
So here is my whole output (with my values taken out)
# Movable Type uses the CGIPath setting to construct links back to
# CGI scripts; for example, the MT tag <$MTCGIPath$> is substituted
# with the value of the CGIPath setting. You will need to change this
# value when you first install MT; instructions for doing so are in
# the Installation Instructions, in INSTALLING THE MOVABLE TYPE
# APPLICATION CODE, Step 3.
CGIPath http://www.gamecubecheats.info/mt
ObjectDriver DBI::mysql
DBHost mysql.jodoshared.com
DBPort 3306
Database [my database name]
DBUser [my database username]
# The filesystem path to the 'db' directory, where your MT database
# files are stored. You will probably need to change this when you
# first install MT; instructions for doing so are in the Installation
# Instructions, in INSTALLING THE MOVABLE TYPE APPLICATION CODE, Step 8.
