FuturePundit http://futurepundit.com I have two problems.

1) Reported by upgrade process:

Movable Type was unable to locate your 'mt-static' directory. Please configure the 'StaticFilePath' configuration setting in your mt-config.cgi file, and create a writable 'support' directory underneath your 'mt-static' directory.

But I can see 2 mt-static directories. One is in /public_html and the other is in /public_html/mt. Both have a July 5 2009 date. Which to use? Both existed before the upgrade as well.

I look in mt-config.cgi and do not see StaticFilePath but I do see StaticWebPath commented out.

Also, how can I know that permissions are set properly?

2) Comments do not work.
I had previously been using mt-altcomments.cgi in order to reduce the load on my server from spammers. If I do:
http://www.futurepundit.com/mt/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=6341
or I move mt-comments.cgi to mt-altcomments.cgi and do:
http://www.futurepundit.com/mt/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=6341
either way I get
An error occurred.
Invalid request.

StaticFilePath /home/myaccounthere/public_html/mt-static

and did a refresh on this page:
http://www.futurepundit.com/mt/mt.cgi

and I still see the error at the bottom of no mt-static directory.

What is mt-static for anyway?

So it thinks that the mt-static that matters is below the mt directory. Yet I set the path to:
StaticFilePath /home/myaccounthere/public_html/mt-static

So is it ignoring StaticFilePath? Or do I have to set StaticWebPath too?

Mind you, I do not mind if I have to use:
/home/myaccounthere/public_html/mt/mt-static
instead of:
/home/myaccounthere/public_html/mt-static

I just want something that works. Is there some reason to prefer one of those locations over the other?

I also still have my problem with comments not working. I would appreciate even guesses as to what to do about it.

One or more errors were found in this template.

* at line 47 is unrecognized.
* at line 48 is unrecognized.
* at line 48 is unrecognized.

I think these are for the SCode plugin that is still installed. How do I migrate to the MT way to show CAPTCHA?

http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/designer/mt4s-comment-templates-for-use.html

This is what you use to replace the SCode MTSecurityCode and MTSecurityImage:

<MTIfNonEmpty tag="MTCaptchaFields">


<MTIfCommentsAccepted>

<MTIfRegistrationAllowed>

<MTElse><$MTCaptchaFields$>

</MTIfRegistrationAllowed>

</MTIfCommentsAccepted>



<div id="comments-open-captcha">

</div>



</MTIfNonEmpty>
