I am trying to do an absolutely clean install of MT 4.2 on Mac OS 10.5.5. I’ve had an installation running on various Max OS’s up to 10.4 for years, but just don’t seem to be able to get it to work with 10.5.5.
I’ve installed mySQL and PHP and used MacPorts to install DBI and DBD::mysql.
cpan reports that both DBI and DBD::mysql are up to date, however when I run mt-check, it tells me DBD::mysql is not installed.
(The reason I want to do a clean install is that my templates have become a mess over the years as I started off when I didn’t know a lot about html and css. I am really looking forward to using the new 4.2 templates from scratch.)

An error occurred: The sign-in attempt was not successful; please try again.
I’ve turned debug mode on in MT to get more information on why this is happening with no luck. Googling turned out a few perl modules that needed to be installed - I did that but it still does not work. Any clue on how I can debug that ?

Hi,
Today I downloaded MT 4.21 and tried installing it.
The problem is that installation never finishes.
On the last step I get javaScript error "Error: submit_form is not defined";
Someone from Sixapart can PM or email me and I will give you a URL where you can see it yourself. We are already a paying customer for MT 3 x and tried this new version but...
All the best,
Drazen
I have installed MT 4.21 (yesterday) and after setup and config, I get stuck in an endless upgrade loop.
I am running MT under mod_fastcgi on CentOS 5 and Apache 2, Perl 5.8.x
After hitting /cgi-bin/mt.cgi I immediately get bounced to /cgi-bin/mt-upgrade.cgi which says I have to upgrade.
I have installed all the Perl modules from CPAN and everything checks out there.
During the upgrade, my Firefox (v3 on Ubuntu 8.04) starts giving errors about running out of stack space. I have 3Gb RAM installed, so the problem is definitely with MT.
What can I do to get past this upgrade loop??
]]>I just upgraded from from 4.1. to 4.2. Now, when I publish my site, I get a 500, internal error message. When I check the logs, I get this:
yapache in free(): warning: junk pointer, too high to make sense
ygcWrap.c:185(get_values_from_env): PDBM=216.39.58.213
[10643]ygcWrap.c:242(get_server_n_port), .
Out of memory
Not very helpful huh? (BTW, I'm hosting on Yahoo! and upgraded from their supported version, 3.x, quite a while ago.)
This only happens when I select to publish all files or only indexes. If I alter an already published blog entry and save it, the error happens after the publication process completes. Regardless of how I publish the site, the changes are always pushed out, so it seems like something is going wrong right at the end of the procedure.
Given all this, my question is what code is being used to publish the site? I want to debug that, and see if I can isolate the issue.
TIA!

Hi, I just installed MT 4.21 and I am having trouble. I installed it, put all the mt files in my cgi-bin and go to the website
http://www.vanitypresents.com/cgi-bin/mt/
and this is the error message on site
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/mt/ on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache Server at www.vanitypresents.com Port 80"
So...... thats one problem, here is the next:
http://www.vanitypresents.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt.cgi
"Got an error: Can't call method "maketext" on an undefined value at lib/MT.pm line 1755."
I uploaded all files and have executed permissions on all cgi files.
Please reply with any possible solutions.
Thanks!!!!
]]>I'm upgrading from 4.1 to 4.21 today.
I have run into a most perplexing problem.
The upgrade script ran just once (widget manager or something, i don't remember exactly), then went straight to the dashboard as if nothing had happened. I upgraded the same version of mt to 4.2 on another server earlier today and that worked without a hitch and it ran through all the lovely little things that it's supposed to say when it upgrades, but when this happened on the second installation (different server), it started to make me suspecious.
mt-check.cgi shows that i've supposedly got 4.21 installed but version 4.1 still shows at the bottom of the page and what's worse - my all templates have disappeared. But creating new pages and entries and rebuilding works without a problem (curiously, the final rebuild page shows the 4.21 rebuild page).
I have tried reuploading all the files again, to no avail. I DO have a backup but I would really like to avoid a fresh install which would involve redoing all my templates which are all EXTREMELY complicated. :(
I'm terribly confused! Can anyone shed some light on this problem?

Maybe my perl don't work, but i've perl inside my Leopard installation!
In Apache I've changed my Document Root in /Volume/my/path/ but i've saw in the original Document Root "Library/WebServer/" a directory call "CGI-Executables", can I create the same directory in my new Document Root??
If the answer is yes, please can explain to me how can I do??? Because i don't want change the Document Root diretory, I've a lot of project inside and I don't want change all only for MT..
Thenk you for the help!!!

I found something in the support about this being the end of the template file names but have no clue how to correct it. everything else seems to be working fine. I tried switching templates and template layouts and republishing to no avail.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

After running the initial logon/create new user, mt-upgrade.cgi fails with
"You have attempted to execute a CGI, ISAPI, or other executable program from a directory that does not allow programs to be executed."
Strange that I get that error because mt-check.cgi is successful which is in the same directory as mt-upgrade.cgi. Is the installation trying to access a directory that is outside /MT?
Perl as been added to both the site configuration and website extensions to allow .cgi files to run. I've also read and followed the Windows installation guide on this site. Please let me know what I am doing wrong or what permissions/settings I have missed.
