MT 3.2 Up and Running 4 years ago

Pain in the @$$ but well worth the trouble.



so simple 4 years ago

Solution: In MySql Administrator allow ALL privileges, not just the ones all the documents at MT tell you.

Up and running :D

Next step: Web Site



what is with mt 4 years ago

directories match
mt-check.cgi doesn’t give success (so matching isn’t the problem)
mt.cgi opened twice both times got stuck and returned an
“error during installation: Access denied for user ‘mt_user’@’%’ to database ‘mt’ at lib/MT/Upgrade.pm line 1076”
i don’t know whats going on.
I took mt out and put it back, retracing my steps. this time directoris match (without green success) but mt.cgi won’t run a box pops up and asks if i want to ‘open’,’save’,’cancel’ ... or the cgi error pops up again but the directories match.

arrrggggg arrrrggggg arrrrggg



fixed! **smiles smugly** NEW ERROR?!, **curse** divine retribution 4 years ago

Fixed the CGI Error and got the Working and Home Directories to match in the mt-check.cgi but it still doesn’t give the green success line ???

When i try and run http://localhost/mtvd/mt.cgi it gives the same CGI Error and redirects the address to “http://localhost/wwwroot/mtvd/mt/mt-update.cgi?__mode=install”
...why?...

ARGGG

OMG, OMG, OMG 4 years ago

So, I’ve been trying to install MT 3.2 on Windows Server 2003 w/ II6 for [insert ridiculous amount of time here, no worries i’m sure exaggeration isn’t possible].

The pattern seems relatively consistant: Trial, error, trial, error, error, error, trial, error

Goal: Up and Running by Tomorrow! :) cross fingers

Current Progress: Day 2
