Comments for Fast cgi problem

Fast cgi problem

2009-06-20T09:43:48Z

Just moved to a managed server in which FastCGI is enabled.

But I'm having problems getting MT4 to run under fastcgi - which has never been a problem before, with MT3 on shared hosts and never required anything other than an AdminScript mt.fcgi file (it's a simpl einstall with no comments, trackbacks etc) and an appropriate line in mt-config.cgi.

Is there a 'hello world'-type test for fastcgi - so I can check if it is enabled?

Or is there something I'm not getting?

What errors are you seeing?

1 When trying to load mt.fcgi, it takes a long time to then load a blank page.
Now suspect this to be a permissions issue as my ftp prog appears to not have set 755 - as a refesh and reset solves this.

2 MT interface login link is to mt.cgi rather than mt.fcgi, but then the dropdown links are all .fcgi - so loading a page from one loads mt.fcgi and it all then works. As does entering mt.fcgi into a browser address bar.

You might need to set a few more of the config directives see the links at the bottom of http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/appendices/config-directives/adminscript.html

Thanks Rob.

Other than adding AdminScript mt.fcgi to mt.cgi, I'm not sure which directives.

And, running MT3 it's always been that simple. So much for the 'improved core functionality native fcgi capability' of MT4. ;-)
