Hello,
I really need some help, please. I don't know what i'm doing wrong here. I'll try to explain as clearly as possible.
I created a MySQL database called: lindastyle_mt
I used filezilla for my ftp server. I set the mt-static map to my public_html map aswell as the index.html and set it to 777
all the other maps and files i put in cgi-bin.
i opend mt-config with notepad and this is what i fill in:
## Movable Type configuration file ##
## ##
## This file defines system-wide settings for Movable Type ##
## In total, there are over a hundred options, but only those ##
## critical for everyone are listed below. ##
## ##
## Information on all others can be found at: ##
## http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/appendices/config-directives/ ##

ObjectDriver DBI::mysql
Database lindastyle_mt

DBPassword **** (clearly im not gonna enter my real password)
DBHost localhost
when i go to my website www.linastyle.nl i see the index when i click on it i get 403 forbidden.
What did i do wrong here?
A 403 error points to a security / permissions issue, can you run other perl scripts from your cgi-bin directory?
You have to fix the CGIPath from:
http://www.lindastyle/cgi-bin/
to:
http://www.lindastyle.nl/cgi-bin/
Apart, from that I would assume that you've uploaded the files (excepting /mt-static/) in ASCII mode and that you've changed the permission for all the .cgi files to 755.
@ Rob: I dont know. I used to because first i had a blog with worldpress (but didnt liked it)
@ Mihai: What do you mean by 'that youve uploaded the files in ASCII mode' And no i didnt changed permission for all the .cgi files to 755 i changed them to 777... im gonna change that now.
Oh and one other thing... if i go to my website : www.lindastyle.nl and i click on the link it goes diractly to lindastyle.nl/mt-cgi and then i get the forbidden thing... but in the config i set it to: lindastyle.nl/cgi-bin/mt/ but for some reason it doesnt do what i want it to do.
I changed it to 755 but still no luck :(
It still goes directly to: http://www.lindastyle.nl/mt.cgi
and not to http://www.lindastyle.nl/cgi-bin/mt/
@Rob, lindastyle is able to can run other CGI scripts, as I've been able to run the mt-check.cgi script.
If you've made them 777 then that was't the problem!
You better send me access to your ftp and I will get it done for you.
You would?! Ohh that would be awsome!! I have sent you an e-mail!!
In my earlier post I've suggested that you send me access, because your symptoms are becoming more and more complicated.
Instead of getting it fixed, the problem complicates even more.
Let me try to explain...
Thep page from http://www.lindastyle.nl/ seems to be the "index.html" file from the movable type installation folder.
If you've uploaded it there, it looks for the mt.cgi file inside that same folder (your domain root).
You don't have to put that "index.html" file there, but generate one after movable type is installed from inside movable type admin.
Secondly, it looks that in reality you've uploaded movable type at: http://www.lindastyle.nl/cgi-bin/ and not at http://www.lindastyle.nl/cgi-bin/mt/ so your CGIPath should be set to the proper folder.
You should either create an "mt" folder and move the files from inside "cgi-bin" inside this "mt" sub-folder, or change the configuration directive from mt-config.cgi into:
CGIPath http://www.lindastyle/cgi-bin/
Got it and replied!
Your issue is fixed!
Enjoy it ;)
You are the best!!!!
