Site URL
The full URL (including http:// and your site's domain name) to your public weblog. This URL should not include the filename of your index file; for example, if your index file is located at http://www.example.com/blog/index.html, then the value for Site URL should be http://www.example.com/blog/.
This is a required field.
Example: http://www.example.com/blog/
You should never set your Site URL to the same value as your Movable Type application URL (i.e. your CGIPath). Publishing your weblog content to the Movable Type directory is a security hazard and can lead to...

Introduction
This section of the appendix details all configuration directives that can be defined in mt-config.cgi. Through use of these directives, you can control numerous aspects of the system.
Except for those which define things specific to your system (e.g. CGIPath and your database settings), all of them have defaults set by Movable Type. This means that not every directive will appear in mt-config.cgi. If you wish to override the default for a setting which does not appear in the file, simply add it and the desired value to your mt-config.cgi....

Question
My domain name has changed and I need to update Movable Type to use the correct location.
Answer
• Update your CGIPath in mt-config.cgi1 to use the new domain name/location of your installation. Use a plain text editor to modify the file and be sure it is uploaded in ASCII mode when restoring it back to the server.
• Log into Movable Type and go to Settings > Publishing2 for your weblog(s). Update the paths there and save the changes.
Note that if your server has not changed, only the domain name, you only need to update the URLs for the new name. If both the server and the domain have changed, you'll need to update both the...

Question
When running the script, I get an error message that says CGI Error The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers..
Answer
Windows 2003 Server doesn't set the current working directory to the same path as the CGI script. You can confirm this discrepancy by looking at the top of your mt-check.cgi results: # Current working directory: (path) # MT home directory: (different path)
To correct this behavior, you (or your host) should do the following: • Create a new "virtual directory" under...

• Added the <$MTCGIPath> tag and the CGIPath config file setting for easy linking to your MT CGI scripts. • Added a config setting for setting the default value of the ``Status'' field on the create an entry page; so you can set it to Release if you always want it set to Release by default. (Christina Wodtke) • Added an ``allow anonymous comments?'' config option; if set, no checking is done to determine if the visitor making the comment has provided an email address and author name. If unset, both author name and email address are...

This is a quick plugin I wrote during the beta tests because I frequently changed the values of my config file to test bugs and hated scrolling page comments or having to manually enter in directives. ConfigUI is a plugin that quite simply adds a graphic user interface to the config file. It has been built for MT 3.2 and uses almost every new API available. It works by re-writing your config file so you need to make sure: • mt-config.cgi (or mt.cfg) is writeable by the web server • your check your settings before saving
Have a look at the screenshot to see what it looks like. It basically lists all non-critical directives (this means it doesn't list the CGIPath or Database...
