I've installed my MT, set permissions etc, but when i start the configuration in the mt-upgrade.cgi, i get the following error, and im pretty sure ive got the right path, and i have tried chmodding that path to 777, doesnt work.
any ideas?
The 'Publishing Path' provided below is not writable by the web server. Change the ownership or permissions on this directory, then click 'Finish Install' again.

Hi Remi,
That suggests that the ownership of the folder is not right!
Before asking the hosting support to check that for you, try to create a file called phpinfo.php with the following coding inside:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Upload that file to your server and then access it from the web inside your browser.
Extract the server path from the line that reads:
"DOCUMENT_ROOT"
At that moment make sure you've used this path as "Publishing Path" for your movable type website(s)/blog(s).
Only after you check the above, and assuming the path you've got via phpinfo and the one you've had are identical, but the error persists, contact your hosting provider and ask them to update the folder ownership so that Movable Type could write to it.
Kind Regards,
Mihai Bocsaru
