| Hi again, I just got it all installed and setup properly. Thanks to Jian Shuo Wang and Deane Barker for the info on your sites and various postings on the subject (at MT help forums too). It took me two whole days to get it running on WinXP/Apache2/Perl5.8/MySQL3.23.55. The problem I had was that for some reason, mt-check.cgi (mt-check.pl for win32) and mt-load.cgi (mt-load.pl for win32) did not work when called from a web browser (http://localhost/mt/mt-check.pl, http://localhost/mt/mt-load.pl). I finally figured out that they ran just fine from the WinXP command line, and that I had DBI::mysql and ImageMagick configured just fine the whole time. Actually I did get a popup error that Perl56.dll could not be found when running at the command line, but I just ignored it b/c I'm using Perl58.dll, and b/c it otherwise worked correctly and returned the correct results in the command line. Anyway, once I ran "perl mt-load.cgi" from the command line, I could then browse to http://localhost/mt/mt.pl and that worked. Also, adding e:\mysql\bin to WinXP PATH was necessary too. Thanks again for the help everyone. PS - I'm running MT on localhost just to experiment and learn, I don't have any plans to put it on a public site anytime soon. |
