Hi jian shuo,

Hi jian shuo,

This is an excellent resource, thanks!

So I had many _many_ a problem. The one that your site didn't cover regards permissions.

Using Apache and Active State Perl, mt-check.cgi would not find the DB (same errors listed on this page with the same symptoms like it works from the command line, etc.) Some investigation showed my @INC was including the right paths.

Finally I noticed my permissions on my c:\Perl\site\lib\ directory were, in UNIX speak, 700.

If you have cygwin installed:

cd c:\Perl\
chmod -R 755 */
chmod -R 644 *.*

or right click and set the security of the directory making sure they SYSTEM group (or whoever apache is set to run as) can see it.

Hope this helps. Thanks again.
