Hi there
I'm a complete novice so bear with me. I have all the files uploded and CHmodded. The files aren't in the root directory but in a folder called 'mt'. I get the message below when I go to run the install at http://www.ulster-landscapes.co.uk/mt/mt.cgi. What am I doing wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong, you're just missing a step. As you can see, the cgi isn't executing, it's just displaying.
The easiest way about this is to move MT into the server's cgi-bin directory. Check with your host.
Al, if you're at GoDaddy, you may actually need to change account types - some of their accounts don't allow CGI at all, no matter which directory you're in. So it might be tough to figure out where to put them (it's called "cgi" if you do have the correct account type). Definitely want to get with your host, however, as Dan suggests.
