I'm having a problem with
Step 5: Run MT-Load utility
4. From a browser run mt-load.cgi (eg: http://yoursite.com/mt/mt-load.cgi)
If mt-load.cgi comes back successful, you should then go to cPanelk's File Manager, and delete mt-load.cgi.
If mt-load.cgi is unsuccessful, check MT's troubleshooting section and then rerun it.
Here's what the Troubleshooting section says:
rrors when running mt-load.cgi
When running mt-load.cgi, if you get an error that says Tie '/path/to/db' failed: No such file or directory or Tie '/path/to/db' failed: Permission denied, this indicates that the DataSource path that you have set in mt.cfg is incorrect, or that the permissions on your db directory are incorrect.
The DataSource setting should contain the full filesystem path to your db directory. You can obtain this path in several ways:
If you have shell access to your server (through either telnet or SSH), you can use command line tools to determine the full path to your db directory. After logging in to your home directory, use the cd command to open your db directory:
$ cd my/db/
where my/db/ is the path to your db directory from your home directory. Then use the pwd directory to display the full path to that directory:
$ pwd
This will print out the full path, which you can then copy and paste into your mt.cfg file as the DataSource value.
If you do not have shell access, you can get a sense of the path to your db directory by running mt-check.cgi. NOTE: this will not tell you exact path to your db directory; rather, it is intended to show you the full path to your home directory, from which you should be able to figure out the rest of the path.
To use this method, run mt-check.cgi by pointing your browser at the URL for mt-check.cgi on your site. For example, if your site is http://www.your-site.com/, and you uploaded the Movable Type files into the /mt directory, you'd type http://www.your-site.com/mt/mt-check.cgi.
In the output of mt-check.cgi, look for a line like this:
Current working directory: /path/to/your/mt/directory
This is the full path to the directory where you installed Movable Type. From that path, you should be able to determine the full path to your db directory.
If you are getting a Permission denied error, this may indicate that the permissions on your db directory are incorrect. The installation instructions describe how to set permissions to 777
Here's what I get:

Any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to figure out the Database, thing
I would be so appreciative of any help. I'm literally starting to pull out my hair *trich sufferer*
