I fell like posting a new blog post yesterday but when i tried logging in, i got this message:
Here's is what i did before adding the lines above.
1. Check if your mt-config.cgi is really missing or what. if its there and you can edit it fine then it shouldn't be the problem. if its not there then edit the file mt-config.cgi.original, fill in the necessary fields and save it as mt-config.cgi.
2. If the error persists, check the file security of your mt-config.cgi. It should be 755. if its not, issue a CHMOD command.
3. If at this point the error is still there. Edit your mt.cgi script and the following line just below the use strict; line. Please note that this depends upon the location of your movable type files. In my case its at /cgi-bin/mt4 your might be different.
BEGIN { $ENV{'MT_HOME'} = '/home/username/public_html/cgi-bin/mt4'; }
your mt.cgi should look like:
use strict;
BEGIN { $ENV{'MT_HOME'} = '/home/username/public_html/cgi-bin/mt4'; }
use lib $ENV{MT_HOME} ? "$ENV{MT_HOME}/lib" : 'lib';
use MT::Bootstrap App => 'MT::App::CMS';
4. Do the same with your mt-search.cgi. Insert the line above just below the use strict; line
UPDATE:
I was stunned, like being hit by Skeleton king's hammer. I haven't done anything to the installation and why this incident has happened? I begin checking the server hoping to find any problems, but there were none. I tried the forums and the documentation but there were no instance of the same problem recorded lately. Lastly i tried contacting my host to see if they have done something to the server. Well the only solution they have is to edit my cgi scripts manually and add a $ENV{'MT_HOME'} tag in it.
Got an error: Error opening file '/mt-config.cgi': No such file or directory

UPDATE:
There is a much easier fix to this error. Instead of manually editing your .cgi files, edit the Bootstrap.pm located at
{MT HOME}/lib/MT/bootstrap.pm
Insert this line right after sub BEGIN {
$ENV{'MT_HOME'} = '/home/userfolder/public_html/cgi-bin/mt';
Edit the line above to match to your settings.
