A couple weeks ago, I found that I couldn't access Movable Type. The error I kept getting was this:

CODE
Got an error: Error opening file '/mt-config.cgi': No such file or directory

Naturally, I panicked and looked for the file, and it was still in its directory. My error log hasn't been giving me any viable information, and my server admins don't know what caused it. Has anyone else had this problem before?

Movable Type would be so much greater if the CGI didn't bug out so much sad.gif

I had a similar problem back in September. The solution I found was posted by shelley
on this thread: Mt-config.cgi Missing?

And while I was able to fix that and use my MT installation via the Web interface, I have not been able to update my site via my mt-xmlrpc.cgi file. I keep getting an error that my mt.cfg file can't be found. I'm using 3.34. I'm too afraid to update to the latest until I can figure out why I can't use external items to update my site.

Perfect! So far it works like a charm! I used mt.cgi to point directly to the config file.

Thanks a bunch!

Edit: I can't edit posts now and I believe a good deal of plugins are now disabled. This is rather frustrating :/

Edit: Looks like everything's working again. I took out shelley's code and put this in:
CODE
BEGIN { $ENV{'MT_HOME'} = '/path/to/mt'; }
. Thanks again! I hope this helps someone else somewhere smile.gif

Where exactly in the .cgi file did you place that code in, because I'm also having issues with the mt-config.cgi supposedly missing.
