I'm trying to get MT going but am blocked in two areas.
1. I can get the folders properly on the local testing server but can never run mt-wizard.cgi. Just says it can't be found on the server. I'm using MAMP Pro and am able to use it with several websites I work on but can't get past this point. I think it is something about MAMP being configured correctly. I see several postings when googling.
2. I also am confused about the database. I know how to set one up with MAMP. What do I name the DB? Can I use just any name?
I've read the online manuals and think I know what to do but still get blocked when running the wizard.
I use Dreamweaver.
I'm using a MacBook Pro which I do most of my website work on.
Thanks.

Have you properly mapped the directory where mt.cgi resides as a Script directory and the .cgi files as CGI scripts? Can you share your web server config and the error messages corresponding to "it can't be found on the server"?
You can name the database as you wish, then use that name either in the config wizard or via the Database directive in mt-config.cgi: http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/appendices/config-directives/database.html
