Question About Mysql Databases

[hasturlord]

Ok,

 

I've created a database in Cpanel, for Movable Type.

 

I don't know where it's located so as I can add the path into my MT.cfg file.

 

My wife tried this a few weeks earlier to no avail also.

 

Thanks again!

You don't need to put the full path into your mt.cfg file. All you need to do is create a MySQL database, then a user with a password. Then give the user access to the database. Then you put the fallowing into the MT.cfg file:

 

>ObjectDriver DBI::mysql
Database username_databasename
DBUser username_databaseuser

 

Once you've done that, save it and then open your mt-db-pass.cgi file, and then delete what's there and put in your password.

 

MoveableType installs are really an art form to learn, best advice I can give you is just read and re-read the instructions.

Thanks again!

 

Just have to get the local path figured out and She's gold.
