tysonK Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 well I am clicking around in my file manager and I cannot find the mt.fcg file am I blind? I extracted the tar.gz full version movable type and I seem to have all the files laid out in there but wher is the mt.cfg? I thought I was at least going to get further than this before having to ask a question. this is so lame! when I open the MT directory I get one folder L10N, and there is nothing in it?

tysonK Posted August 18, 2004 Author Posted August 18, 2004 bah here is my new problem: Bad ObjectDriver config: Connection error: Access denied for user: '@localhost' (Using password: YES) and I assume the database name I use is the one I created not the general mysql thnks for the replys.
TCH-Don Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Yes, in MySql you should see the database you created and below it the user you added to the database, and a sample connection string like this for php $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "cpanelname_user", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db ("cpanelname_databasename");
tysonK Posted August 18, 2004 Author Posted August 18, 2004 allright and my CGI path should be just my domain name or the complete path where my movable type is installed? kueperview.com or kueperview.com/mt/ thanks in advance. man I thought I was going to blow right through this?
tysonK Posted August 18, 2004 Author Posted August 18, 2004 bah here is my new problem: Bad ObjectDriver config: Connection error: Access denied for user: '@localhost' (Using password: YES) so Im not sure why I get this because ObjectDriver DBI::mysql is pretty straight forward. I assume is reads these scripts from top to bottom?
TCH-Don Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 I have never installed MT but there is a guide on the Totalchoicehosting Help site that may help.
LisaJill Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 That says that there is the wrong password. Did you include the lines for the username in mt.cfg? and the other line, I forget what it is - should be 3. And did you put the db password in mt-db-pwd.cgi? JUST the password?
LisaJill Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 It wants database password. Why do you have keuperv_ twice though? Unless you've done something funky it should only be once.
tysonK Posted August 18, 2004 Author Posted August 18, 2004 ok I fixed that: now I get: Bad ObjectDriver config: Connection error: Access denied for user: 'mtadmin@localhost' (Using password: YES) so I guess it knows I am trying to use mtadmin as my db username, and I triple checked the mt pass cgi file so they match. hmm
tysonK Posted August 18, 2004 Author Posted August 18, 2004 this thread is OVER. I got it working thanks! hopefully some one else will get some use out it in archive.
LisaJill Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 it should be keuperv_mtadmin. Not just mt_admin and not keuperv_keuperv_mtadmin. Unless I misunderstood....
TCH-Don Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Congratulations Did you take notes They will always come in handy.
tysonK Posted August 18, 2004 Author Posted August 18, 2004 wow that sucked right after I got it working I went to login for the FIRST time and the Melody Nelson author name/password thing is not working.
LisaJill Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 define not working? Does it bring you back to the login screen? If so you probably have a path wrong in mt.cfg =)
tysonK Posted August 18, 2004 Author Posted August 18, 2004 ha ha. it was teh CGIpath. I forgot to add mt at the end.. you rock Lisa
TCH-Rob Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Glad thats over. Dang, I need a drink or you need a drink. That was like a boxing match. I almost thought MT was gonna win. Good thing you have that right hook or I would have thrown in the towel. This is why I dont use MT. I probably wouldnt have made it as far as you did before giving up.
LisaJill Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 I'm going to sleep now, don't have any more problems for at least 10 hours please! =)
tysonK Posted August 18, 2004 Author Posted August 18, 2004 yah what can I say. I don't work till 10:00 tomorrow
pjgoral Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Bad ObjectDriver config: Connection error: Access denied for user: 'sryacvi_syracuse@localhost' (Using password: YES) I have checked the database name, username, and password, they all match fine. I am not sure what I m doing wrong any ideas
TCH-Bruce Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 (edited) Have you created the database? And have you added a user to the database? Have you modified the mt.cfg file to include ObjectDriver DBI::mysql And did you update the mt-db-pass.cgi to only include your password? Edited September 10, 2004 by TCH-Bruce
pjgoral Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 yes i have gone through, I deleted the database recreated, added the userto the database, with all priveleges assigned, changed the mt.cfg file to point to the correct database this is the info I have put in ObjectDriver DBI::mysql Database syracvi_mtdatabase DBUser sryacvi_syracuse DBHost localhost Nevermind i got it
TCH-Rob Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 pjgoral, Glad you got it working. Thumbs Up Welcome to the forums.
