MT(5) installation problems once again
Hi there,
as with every major release (~2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5), I once again try to install MT and yet I haven't achieved it. Now I tried the MT 5.0b1 and did:
1). Upload the whole stuff
2). Give the *.cgi's the permissions plus to the "support" folder (didn't put mt-static outside mt, because that didn't work)
3). I did upload the mt-config.cgi with the correct database settings
4). I did NOT clean out the database which could contain fragments of old installation tries
5). I did create a "blog" folder at my ./ root level, as it didn't work else
6). I had to give not only 755 but 777 permissions to the /blog/ folder, so that it continues here:
This is how far I've come, as said, if I don't do step 5. + 6., it doesn't even go any further when clicking "Finish install". Yet what I mean which "continuing"/ "going further", is that it TRIES to load the "./mt/mt-upgrade.cgi" path/file. Still I only see a white screen (it shows "done", so seems to have finished loading). I have deactivated AdBlockPlus.
What is my problem here, what should I check for?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Kind regards

Inappropriate?Hi Phillip - I'll have someone from the MT5 beta team weigh in on this for you.
I’m happy to help.

Thanks! :) -
Inappropriate?Philipp- Not sure we have a solid answer just yet, but I've posted a response here:
http://forums.movabletype.org/2009/09...
I’m trying to resolve the issue.

Inappropriate?Hi there,
thanks for all your help. To provide a solution (hint) here, I'd like to repost:
I talked to my hosting provider.
The main issue is Perl.
1). First, the memory needed by MT(5). I need to know how high the memory consumption/need (at max.) is.
2). If possible, I do also have to know the (maximum) runtime of this Perl script / the Perl scripts in general. This would help me in case an adjustment to the memory doesn't help.
Thanks for your help in advance.
I’m confident

Inappropriate?Philipp, let's keep the conversation in the MT forums and then close this when you're satisfied.
I’m sorry there isn't a better answer yet

If you think that is best, I'm ok with it. As we linked there, ok. I just want to post the solution to be posted here, as I'm of the opinion one will find it here easier! (Also given not everyone knows / uses / likes to use (the) normal (MT) forums, after they get to know GetSatisfaction. At least that's it for me. :p) -

Inappropriate?the MT forums are usually best for questions like this, especially MT beta - but thanks for letting us know, and we'll make sure when there's significant progress, that we update here too. Thanks again, Phillip!
