Standard Movable Type Installation
If you don't qualify for the Simple Movable Type Installation - for instance, if you are a commercial user, or think perhaps you will have some questions along the way, or maybe you have some plugins to install or would like to make some small changes to the templates - then the Standard Movable Type Installation is probably for you.
The Standard Movable Type Installation is available for:
- Both Personal and Commercial Users
- New Installations (as Well as Upgrades)
- MySQL Databases
- Static Publishing
- Limited Plugin Installation, Configuration or Customization
- Limited System Customization, Instruction and Training
- Limited Style or Template Customization
The Standard Movable Type Installation does not include:
- Accounts Hosted at GoDaddy.com or Yahoo!
- Hosting
- Domain Name
- DNS Resolution or Troubleshooting
- Dynamic Publishing
- Website Content - Movable Type Only
In order to begin, the Standard Movable Type Installation requires you to:
- Have a Web Host Meeting the System Requirements
- Have a Domain Name
- Provide Hosting Account Access via FTP
- Provide Hosting Account Login Details (Control Panel is Ideal)
- Provide MySQL Access via MySQLMan, phpMyAdmin or SSH
In order to install Movable Type, we will need to create a MySQL database. This requires access to your Hosting Account. Most Hosting Accounts have a control panel of some sort - cPanel, Gpanel, or perhaps a propietary version. This is what we need to create your database. Access to the database once created, through MySQLMan, phpMyAdmin, or SSH, is also required. Finally, we will also need FTP access to copy the distribution files to your server and change permissions on files if necessary.
The Standard Movable Type Installation is designed for the vast majority of users, both personal and commercial, to provide a cost-effective solution for getting up and running quickly.
