  • The mt-config.cgi file is not an executable file. You can't run it from your browser. Why are you trying to access it that way?

  • Opps I am sorry that is the wrong address the one I am talking about is
    http://www.selenasplace.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt.cgi
    it asks me to download or open the file and when I do I get a notepad page with this text on it

  • If your browser treats it like a file to download, then that means your host isn't treating mt.cgi as an executable script. Talk to your host about what needs to be done to get MT executing as a CGI script.

  • Check your mt-config.cgi and make sure that you have not left any directive without a value for example DBPassword which can be blank in development environment, if so then comment out or remove that line.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
