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, 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
 
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)

Code: 
# 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.

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.
