chroniker Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 I'm following the instructions found here - totalchoicehosting.com/help/id76.htm After a couple of reinstalls and messing with permissions I am able to progress to Step 5 "Run MT-Load Utility". When I do, I get - Bad ObjectDriver config: Connection error: Access denied for user: '@localhost' (Using password: YES). Obviously I used a stronger pw when setting up the MySQL db, I have added a user and I have put the pw in mt-db-pass.cgi Also, I have checked my errorlog and found - Premature end of script headers: /home/demesne/public_html/mt/mt-load.cgi and Premature end of script headers: /home/demesne/public_html/mt/mt-check.cgi Anybody here have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? By the way, being a newb, I was not aware that cgi's are exicutable and after reading where six apart says to set permissions to 755 on all cgi's I was able to make it to step 5. You may want to see about including this in your install instructions. Quote

chroniker Posted February 8, 2005 Author Posted February 8, 2005 Well actually, I can log in and do the admin thing, but when I view my site, demesneofallen.com, I only get my index page. Any ideas? A Quote

chroniker Posted February 8, 2005 Author Posted February 8, 2005 I have told it to rebuild all files several times. Quote
Iki Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 I have told it to rebuild all files several times. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did you configure the weblog? Instructions for that are at http://www.movabletype.org/docs/mtmanual_w...fig.html#weblog configuration Usually the first things I do are: 1. Install the software 2. Login using the default Melody/Nelson login 3. Go change Melody/Nelson to what I want my username and password to be, via "Edit Your Profile" 4. Go to "Config Weblog" under the default blog "First Weblog" 5. Adjust the blog name to what I want and the paths to where I want the blog to show up 6. Set my local time 7. Click save at the bottom 8. Go to Preferences 9. Choose my preferences - default language, whether I'll allow comments or trackbacks, etc. 10. Click save at the bottom 11. Go to Archiving 12. Add Category archiving and make sure the box is checked 13. Click save at the bottom 14. Rebuild the blog using the "Rebuild Site" button on the lower left menu. And the blog (albeit empty) shows up. Did you do all those things? -Iki Quote
chroniker Posted February 8, 2005 Author Posted February 8, 2005 I uploaded to the server before unpacking the tarball and made all of my config changes there. When I was finaly able to run mt-check.cgi and mt-load.cgi, everything showed good to go. I did the 14 steps you mentioned but when I rebuild I return to my admin main page and when I view my site all I get is my index page and I have cleared my cache on the 3 pc that I have access to at two different physical locations.

Iki Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 It's not your PC. Your blog isn't in your root directory, that's why you can't see it. It's publishing to a directory called "mt". That's the software's default behavior; you didn't change the weblog configuration to put it in the root directory. That'd be step 5. Also, it shows up with no style because in your index template you're saying the stylesheet is located in your root directory, and it's not - it's probably also located under the "mt" directory because you didn't change the configuration. -Iki Quote
chroniker Posted February 8, 2005 Author Posted February 8, 2005 I need to look outside the box more often. Thanks. Quote
Iki Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 No problem. I've done the same thing a million times... get all into the problem and get so frustrated I can't see the answer when it's staring me in the face. I hate when that happens. Good luck! -Iki Quote
