Hello wise persons of the TCH forums. OK, I did a second MT install and it took considerably less time than the first one, thanks to Rick and cobbled together notes from the various installion docs all over the internet. (NOTE: per Rick's suggestion, uploading the zip file directly to TCH and extracting via File Manager saves a lot of time. Permissions were automatically set for the CGI files to 755! And without Shell access, these timesavers count.)

 

However, I'm discovering there are idiosyncracies to MT that not are well documented :unsure: For instance, when i first logged into MT, it looked very plain. Fixed that problem by copying the styles.css file to the same directory in which my cgi filies were.

 

So now I'm messing with MT and have logs i don't want. And I can't delete them! On the first page (MAINTAIN YOUR EXISTING WEBLOGS), the only active option to the right of each blog is CREATE ENTRY. For the life of me I can't delete my "mistake" blogs! Are there other files, including doc files, that should be in the same folder as the mt.cgi file in order for all options to be active and for help (the little quesion mark icon) to work?

I figured it out, and it was simple, of course. I had to uncomment the Static WebPath line and change it to this:

StaticWebPath ./mt-static

 

All MT functions are fine now. :unsure:
