Need Help With Movable Type Please

[techy]

I have followed the instructions on

 

http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/help/id76.htm and under part 3 it says Leave the Datasource line alone, DataSource ./db

 

but when I try to run the Movable Type System Loader [mt-load.cgi] I get the following error message: Bad ObjectDriver config: Your DataSource directory ('./db') does not exist.

 

I did install movable type into the SecureCGI directory and I followed the instructions under Editor's note: To set up SecureCGI on your web site, go to cPanel and enable CGIWrapper (under CGI Scripts).

 

Please help not sure what to do to make this error message go away. I also made a new database using the MySQL page but I couldn't tell it the path to this database if I wanted to.

 

Please help!

MT has changed their mt.cfg file slightly. They now have the MySQL commands in the code and you should set them using the database name and username as indicated. They have these lines commented out (using the # character in front.) You must remove the # signs so the lines will be processed by the script. Give me a domain name and I can have a quick look at the file.

Rick, I sent you a private message with my url.

 

I looked at my mt.cfg and the line you spoke of currently looks like this DataSource ./db with no # in front of it. Do I need to put that back?

 

Also this part of the mt.cfg file looks exactly like this except the word username has been substituted for my real user name? Does this look correct?

 

# ObjectDriver DBI::mysql

# Database <username_mtdatabase>

# DBUser <username_mtadmin>

# DBHost localhost

The # signs should be removed in the last section so that the MySQL database will be used. The rest is answered in PM.
