Okay, I just switched over from Berkley to mySQL, and everything went smoothly, but I have no idea what URL I need to log into my blog. The old page was located at www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/mt.cgi, but when I go there, the styles don't apply and the images don't show up, and I get 404s when I try to create a new entry. Since I have no prior mySQL experience, I'm hoping this is a product of the conversion. What URL do I need to type to get to my new log-in page?

Yep, the log page is the same URL!

It sounds like there's some problems in your mt.cfg.

This is controlled by StaticWebPath

Hmm.  CGIPath?

Here's an mt.cfg for mysql database:
ObjectDriver DBI::mysql
Database name
DBUser name
CGIPath http://www.you.com/cgi-bin/
StaticWebPath /mt-static/

Where do you have things set up?
jcris
Woohoo, I got it to work!!
I'm blaming it on Windows Notepad that screwed up the formatting and ran StaticWebPath together with the CGIPath line.

Oh, for "DataSource" I commented it out (put a '#' in front of it). Good or bad thing?
bmk
Oh, I'm glad you got it figured out!!!!  :)

Yes, once you're all switched over to the mysql database you can comment out the DataSource line.  You can also clear out your /db folder because it won't be writing to it any more.  I download a copy of it (in binary mode) as a backup and then delete it.  Of course, you can leave it sitting right where it is too.  Just keep in mine that it's frozen in the state you left it at.  :)
