hi all,

I had an error message on my site http://www.thelindstroms.com when trying to post comments via the typekey system...

The site you're trying to comment on has not signed up for this feature. Please inform the site owner.

My URL at the time (in typekey setup) was :

www.thelindstroms.com

After reading a similar problem on this forum I changed this setting to :

http://www.thelindstroms.com/

and then got another weird perl error. I've since changed it back.

Can anyone help me?

Cheers,

Kylie

Please read

Movable Type Weblog - FAQ: Link to TypeKey does not work

and compare the two important URLs. Are both identical? The URL you gave is the target URL for your weblog, not the installation URL.

I have one really big issue with that FAQ. I had MT installed for me by the folks at sixapart as I don't have an interface or the knowledge to use perl. How can I tell what the URL is in the mt.cfg file if I don't have access to it?

From what I've read in other forum posts, in most cases the url in this file is the same as your weblog's target url.

You will not need Perl knowledge for modying the file mt.cfg. It is a simple text file giving "name / value pairs".

The value for CGIPath is not the target URL. It is the URL of the Movable Type installation.

You do not have access to that file? Why not? It is your domain, it is hosted somewhere, and you should at least have an FTP-access. If you want to create a weblog, you will once in a while need a access to the server. How did Six Apart access that server?

However, if Six Apart did that installation, you probably paid for that. So you might ask Six Apart directly.
