My server has changed and now I keep getting these faults:

DB_File...
Your server does not have DB_File installed. DB_File is
required if you want to use the Berkeley DB/DB_File backend.
Please consult the installation instructions for help in
installing DB_File.

DBD::mysql...
Your server does not have DBD::mysql installed. DBI and
DBD::mysql are required if you want to use the MySQL database
backend. Please consult the installation instructions for help
in installing DBD::mysql.

Ths strange thing is that I have a MYSql database on that server! I never worked with it as it is new.

Does my provider need to install a module here or is there something wrong in my MT.CFG

Like the messages say, if you want to use BDB, you'll have to get your provider to install DB_File.

If you want to use MySQL, you'll have to get them to install DBD::MySQL.

It is entirely likely that when your server changed, those Perl modules were not installed (they're not part of the standard distribution).

You'll also have to modify your mt.cfg to reflect your choice of database.

It might as well be the the fact that you have not set it up right... Have you entered the right conection information?

Well, it seems that my provider ( a friend) does not want to install the modules. he told me to do it myself. How do I get these modules and how do I install this? I have server admin rights.

Required/Optional module installation

Some of the modules can be downloaded from MovableType. All of the Perl modules can be downloaded from your nearest CPAN archive.

Thanks, I have found the required module.
Will start a new topic at tips&tricks as I really do not know where to start and how to install a perl module.

To install that module from CPAN, you type this at the command shell:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBD::MySQL'

Except you probably need root access to do that.

It's possible to install the module in the MT directory, though I don't know the details.

If you are running windows, the first step is to format the drive and install Linux or BSD.
