Hello all!

 

I've just switched over here after being hosted at Aletia for the past year. I've installed Movable Type several times for myself and for friends. I followed the user manual and everything, but I'm no longer able to log into MT. I keep getting an Invalid Login message.

 

I was using Berkeley DB on the other server and I'm sure that I transferred everything correctly. I read through the troubleshooting manual and apparently my problem has to do with different versions of Perl.

 

I have no idea how to fix this problem, other than having to do a clean install. If anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate the help!

When I moved my site over I switched to using a MySQL database and find it works much better for me. I exported all my posts from the previous board and then installed here fresh and imported the posts to the new board.

 

My previous board required cgi files to be run from the cgi-bin directory. On here you can run cgi files from any directory and the MT install is easier if you just copy everything to a subdirectory and set it up there. The instructions on the TCH Help page should be useful.
