Error: '/public_html/mt-static' could not be found

Vote 0 Votes

Obviously, I'm in the install process. I've reviewed like problems in this forum but have not found similar situations/fixes for those who are trying to install after creating a subdomain.

My problem is where to move the mt-static folder.
- I moved to /public_html, which is the web root to the domain, no success
- I moved o /public_html/blog/mt-static, no success
- I moved to /mt-static, and still no success

Here's the complete ERROR msg
"Error: '' could not be found. Please move your static files to the directory first or correct the setting if it is incorrect."

Thx in advance for your assistance.

  • Fill out mt-config.cgi on your PC and upload it. Your host is blocking MT from handling that for you (this is a known issue which is outside of 6A's control), but mt-config is easy to set up by hand.

    If you fill in the mt-config.cgi template that's already there, and then just remove the configuration entries for the database types you're not using, you should be fine.

  • Thank you for responding.

    I completed the mt-config.cgi and removed the configuration entries of the db I'm not using.

    Got a different error, but atleast it was a different one :-0

    I received "Connection error: Access denied for user 'DATABASE_USERNAME'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"

    Don't know if I was suppose to enter the 'created db user name and password' within the cgi....I'll need to see a sample if I need to. Never edited a cgi file before...though I'm having fun trying.

    Also, when I'm at the mt.wizard, do I need to enter both paths? If so, here's what I included:

    CGIPath http://www.blog.monicaofnorthcarolina.com/cgi-bin/mt/

    StaticWebPath http://www.monicaofnorthcarolina.com/mt-static

    Notice that the mt dir is in my subdomain and the mt-static dir is off the root.

    Does this make a difference?

    Thx again,
    Monica

  • Okay I replaced:
    database_password, database_name, database_username
    within the mt.conf.cgi and received the following error,

    "Access denied for user "xxx@localhost' (using password: Yes)"
    {where xxx is my db username}

    • ******CLOSED********

      To complete this error issue, I just removed the # from the StaticWebPath in the mt.cong file.

      Thank you.

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