I tried this. Redirect removed and new domain name in URL config lines.(domain name is registered and has propogated) Now a rebuild points to our assets. I don't want to install MT to this new domain because i want to reuse assets (e.g., PHP includes) already created in main domain without pointing to them via a direct URL. Am I making sense? Or am I just very very tired and really not thinking this through correctly? Dida

Hi there- This should be a very simple problem to fix, but I have searched forums here and elsewhere and can't seem to find the solution. Here is my sit: I have MT installed under my main domain, ie. public_html/mt I am creating a new blog under public_hmtl/svmw. I want to redirect MYMAINDOMAIN/svwm to www.NEWDOMAIN.com I have configured that in cPanel. Problem is that I then can't get that to work within the framework of the URL configuration in MT, which i put in as http://www.MYMAINDOMAIN.com/svmw/. The isuue is that i want users to see www.NEWDOMAIN.com in browser bar, of course, and not the /svmw URL I have tried a variety of configurations , but just can't seem to get this to work. Thanks- Dida

So-should i just reinstll MT in the blueplanetdivers domain and be done with this issue?! Thanks- Dida

doh!- post starts out with "on my machine . . ." I've gotta slow down

Gotcha- I was probaly skimming post too quickly. I need to prevent folks from seeing our assets server 77 side, so I assume i use the .htaccess method An engineer buddy had suggested i edit the httpd.conf file, but obviously I can't do that Thanks again Lisa! Dida

Thanks- except that i just read in another thread that we (TCH customers) are not allowed to edit that file. Can we ask you guys to do it? Also, i thought we didn't have shell access either? (or as rhat my last host?) TIA- Dida

That's right-the mt folder is on conservancydivers.org . I do not want to do a second install. Isn't this how MT should work-that I can create multiple blogs with diff URLS on one install? (fyi- have reseller account) Just when I think I'm getting the *teensiest* grip on understanding MT, I'm thown off course again! whee! Dida

I know I'm super late to this discussion, but I'm starting from scratch and want to go and edit httpd.conf file. I didn't find it in the /etc folder, and can't find it elsewhere. Help? Dida

HI- I am having a very similar problem to what was discussed here re: MT I have an account on server 77 username wwwcon. I have registered a domain that has in fact propagated: www.blueplanetdivers.org. MT is installed at home/wwwcon/public_html/mt I log into mt thru www.conservancydivers.org I created new blog using www.blueplanetdivers.org in my pathway config When i try to rebuild, i get a "could not locate remote server" msg. Nor can I rebuild. I have a hunch that I am messed up with my blog config, but not sure how. As usual, any and all help much appreciated! Cheers- Dida

Quite obviously, I'm not a coder and lines of code make my eyes hurt. But, I ended up reading the error code more carefully and finally fixed my problem. Turns out that the tmp folder, as well as a number of others, didn't exist in my MT folder server side. I FTP'd them over from my local unzipped copy, and all seems to work OK now. There were about 5 folders total that didn't extract server side (i'm using MT 3.121). Is that a TCH issue or MT? Good night!

I now recall that MT doesn't like names that are longer than 7 characters, which my db username was. So I shortened it to only 4. Which fixed the previous error msg. I am now getting a diff error that starts like this: >Can't load error template; got error 'Loading template 'error.tmpl' failed: HTML::Template->new() : Cannot open included file tmpl/cms/error.tmpl : file not found. at extlib/HTML/Template.pm line 1500 HTML::Template::_init_template('HTML::Template=HASH(0x87966d0)') called at extlib/HTML/Template.pm line 1105 HTML::Template::_init('HTML::Template=HASH(0x87966d0)') called at extlib/HTML/Template.pm line 999 HTML::Template::new('HTML::Template','filename','tmpl/cms/error.tmpl','path','ARRAY(0x8797c40)','die_on_bad_params',0,'global_vars',1,...) called at extlib/HTML/Template.pm line 1049 HTML::Template::new_file('HTML::Template','tmpl/cms/error.tmpl','path','ARRAY(0x8797c40)','die_on_bad_params',0,'global_vars',1) called at lib/MT/App.pm line 411 eval {...} called at lib/MT/App.pm line 410 MT::App::load_tmpl('MT::App::CMS=HASH(0x84aee00)','error.tmpl') called at lib/MT/App.pm line 286 MT::App::show_error('MT::App::CMS=HASH(0x84aee00)','Loading template \'login.tmpl\' failed: HTML::Template->new()...') called at lib/MT/App.pm line 341 eval {...} called at lib/MT/App.pm line 301 MT::App::run('MT::App::CMS=HASH(0x84aee00)') called at mt.cgi line 26 eval {...} called at mt.cgi line 20 '. Giving up. Original error was and goes on with msgs. about a multitude of lines in perl: >Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i686-linux/File/Spec/Unix.pm line 52. I do in fact have the HTML template installed, with letter case correct (ie., HTML and not html for folder name). Clues, anyone?

Wish i could say that was my problem too- but it's not. I *have* uncommented those lines

Uh sorry- get this error: Got an error: Bad ObjectDriver config: Connection error: Access denied for user: 'wwwcons_divadive@localhost' (Using password: YES) Permissions set to 755 on mt.cgi-just checked (I use the handy method of unpacking the zip file on the server-side, as suggested here)

I'm having a perplexing problem with my latest install of MT. Exact error msg. discussed here. I have double checked the DB, deleted the user, added user a second time, as well as added user to DB. Checked mt_db_pass file and permissions. Checked the mt.cg files. Edited password file and triple-checked.Everthing looks right. I am really stumped. And it wil probably be something really silly I've overlooked! Username wwwcons server 77 TIA- Dida

Well Arvind- if *YOU* don't know how to do this either-and i do know about the excludecategoreis plugin also but found it to not be what I want-then there is a need for a plug in to be written! (I'm not that far yet in my skills to do so myself) I'll try your idea and get back to you, ok? Dida

HI- I'd still really like some help on #1. Or am I missing something SO basic ? . . . Dida

HI- I'd still relaly like some help on #1. Or am I siig somthing so basic that I donlt warrnt a response?

Rick! Once again you have come to my rescue. I changed the blog config and no more 404 error. Dida

Hi- 2 issues I hope to get help with. 1.) I am getting thoroughly confused by the location of template tags and which ones to edit in order to achive a specific result. In this case I merely want to exclude some categories from being listed in the side bar. Currently, my main index template contains this code and lists all categories I have created: ><div id="categories"> <h2>Categories</h2> <MTSubCategories> <MTSubCatIsFirst> <ul></MTSubCatIsFirst> <MTIfNonZero tag="MTCategoryCount"> <li><a href="<$MTCategoryArchiveLink$>" title="<$MTCategoryDescription$>"><MTCategoryLabel></a> <MTElse> <li><MTCategoryLabel> </MTElse> </MTIfNonZero> <MTSubCatsRecurse max_depth="3"> </li> <MTSubCatIsLast> </ul></MTSubCatIsLast> </MTSubCategories> </div> However, I'd like to prevent one or more categories from showing up in this list. How do I do this? 2.) Other major issue is that I keep getting a 404 error when i click on a category name in the sidebar. Permissions on the archive folders are set to 755. Here's my test site: www.siliconvalleywatcher.com/nophun TIA to you fab folks here- Dida

Arvind and Elise have co-authored the tutorial i refer to. But I'll check with him anyway. I'll post the solution here. THANKS for your help.

HI- I'm stumped-now I'm not evfn getting the cron job email, and of course the FUTURE option not showing up yet in MT . What the heck am I missing? Dida

whoops-- I meant "THANKS BRUCE!"

Thanks again Rick- in the tutorial it looks like there is a space after the last semi-colon. Also, may i assume that the script will first run 15 minutes after I configure this job (per the tutorial), so that the FUTURE option won't appear immediately in MT? Am wondering because am eager to use! Cheers- Dida

The tutorial I read on Learning Moving Type includes the cd as part of the command. See http://www.elise.com/mt/archives/000757sch...d_cron_jobs.php for the tutorial
