Installation:

  1. Open and edit mt.cfg
  2. Find CGIPath(line 14) and change the line to CGIPath http://www.YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/mt/
  3. Remove remark(remove heading “#”) of Line 36 to 38. So it will looks like the following:
    ObjectDriver DBI::mysql
    Database YOUR_DATABASE_NAME
    DBUser YOUR_DATABASE_USER_NAME
    DBHost localhost
  4. Save and close mt.cfg
  5. Open and edit mt-db-pass.cgi
  6. Replace database_password with your MT’s MySQL database password. So that the file only contain your database password, like this:
    YOUR_DATABASE_PASSWORD
  7. Save and close mt-db-pass.cgi
  8. Okay, now open your FTP client software and connect to your web hosting account.
    Note: Upload all files as ASCII format, except for “images” folder. Recommend to use FileZilla, a free FTP client.
  9. Upload EVERYTHING from the MT installation pack into the MT directory. EVERYTHING means included docs, extlib, images, and everything else.
  10. Change all the .cgi files’ permission to 755. If your FTP client support, you can select them all and change in once.
  11. Open browser and goto http://www.YOUR_DOMAIN.com/mt/mt-check.cgi to check if MT required modules installed or not.
  12. Scroll down to page bottom, if you see “You’re ready to go!” then everything is fine. Else, please refer to official documentation to install the missing modules.
  13. It is time to initialize your MT! Point your browser to http://www.YOUR_DOMAIN.com/mt/mt-load.cgi. The script will setup MT and you will see “System Initialization Complete“.
  14. Connect to FTP server again, and delete mt-load.cgi(in “mt” directory)

We have finished MT installation, Let’s run MT for the first time!

  • Know what I did? ^^ I just downloaded the .tar.gz, ssh into my server, uncompressed the files and configure mt.cfg and it's done! ^^v
  • noorhidayat: you know what, your MT blog's comment does NOT work!
    Having shell access make the installation much faster(don't need upload) but u still have to do the MT settings wut~ :P
  • thank u :) u helped me a great deal. MT 3.0 seems to be much better than older version. hopefully no more database problem again.. :wink:
  • Hmm...do you think you could help me with installing MT 3.0? Plzzzz...?
  • Menj: If you have any problem, I may help but I charge for installation work. :)
  • :evil: Huh, you want to charge me :shock: Aiyo.....plz help la....I no moola to pay you, you know :(

  • Menj: business is business. I can help you when you have installation problem. but i can't do free installation for you. hx is my old old friends, that's another story.
  • Hmm....in that case, I suppose I have no choice :twisted: Pls email me so that we can discuss this further :D:mrgreen:

  • sure :)
  • Installation seems successful, but I can't view my entries! Where on earth did i go wrong?:cry:
  • whoopee~! no worries, managed to solve it by changing the MTentries = n...
  • Good. :smile:
  • I'm having probs again...:sad: Can't view my new entries, eventhough i've amended my new lastn="n", coz it doesn't recognise non numeric values, wonder why it worked yesterday... You can't view the new entries at the root site (www.cozylounge.net), but at the 'index.html' (www.cozylounge.net/index.html). Logically speaking, isn't it supposed to be the same???
  • I went to your site, both www.cozylounge.net and www.cozylounge.net/index.html are same.
  • Hi dude, just wanted to add something. A friend of mine was installing MT 3.11, and since I was too busy to help, I directed him to your site. He did everything you wrote, but still had some problems. I was only recently able to look at his files, and discovered that he had uploaded everything into his server as binary files (it was the default setting for his FTP client). I've now fixed his problems by simply FTPing all the files (except for images folder) as ASCII. Apparently, it's a common problem when people are installing MT (from seeing the MT support forums).

    I just thought you might want to add a line to your directions about this. Cheers! :smile:
  • ph
    i downloaded mt 3.34
    mt.cfg and mt-db-pass.cgi are not in the folder..
    i assumed those were combined into mt-config.cgi?

    but mt-load.cgi is not in the folder.. how do i initialise my mt?
