Installation Trouble on Network Solutions

Vote 0 Votes

Hello,

I am using a Network Solutions server and am attempting to install movable type. I have placed the mt-static directory in the web-root, and the home folder in the cgi-bin. I have adjusted permissions accordingly. I then access the mt-wizard.cgi, and enter the static web address as well as what seems to me to be the static path to the mt-static folder. However, I keep returning error messages stating that the mt-static folder cannot be found. I have tried the following:

/mt-static
/htdocs/mt-static/

I found another thread on these forums stating that Network Solutions uses long paths for some reason. I accessed mt-check.cgi, and used the absolute path there to come up with the following:

/data/xx/x/xxx/xx/xxxxxxx/user/xxxxxxx/cgi-bin/mt

When I entered this in the configuration wizard, it returns a 500 internal server error, then suggesting troubleshooting with permissions (which seem to be correct).

Any help would be much appreciated.
