Installing MovableType
When setting up Moveable Type create 2 subdirectories called 'mt' - one in the /docs directory, and one in the /cgi-bin directory. Install the various moveable type files to the appropriate folders suggested in the installation process (http://www.movabletype.org/docs/mtinstall.html).
Then please change the following settings in your configuration file (mt.cfg):
CGIPath
From:
CGIPath http://WWW.YOUR-SITE.COM/PATH/TO/MT/
To:
CGIPath http://x.your-site.com/cgi-bin/mt/
DataSource
From:
DataSource ./db
To:
DataSource /tmp
StaticWebPath
From:
# StaticWebPath /path/to/static-files/
To:
StaticWebPath /mt/
NOTE: this works for the v2.661 of Moveable Type (April'04).
mt-load.cgi error during MovableType installation
If you are getting "Loading initial data into system...An error occurred while loading data: Connection error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)" error messages, the error can likely be corrected by specifying your DBHost parameter explicitly in your mt.cfg file. If you are using your provided MySQL database, set this parameter as:
DBHost 127.0.0.1
