I am installing Movable type on my server and received this following message. Can anyone please tell me what it means? It's all Greek to me. :shrug:

Unsupported driver MT::ObjectDriver::DBI::mysql: Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:\Inetpub\vhosts\digitaleditor.com\cgi-bin\mt\extlib C:\Inetpub\vhosts\digitaleditor.com\cgi-bin\mt\lib C:/Program Files/SWsoft/Plesk/Perl/lib C:/Program Files/SWsoft/Plesk/Perl/site/lib .) at C:\Inetpub\vhosts\digitaleditor.com\cgi-bin\mt\lib/MT/ObjectDriver/DBI.pm line 9.

Somewhere in all of that is a simple explanation as to what is wrong.

Thanks

It needs a Perl module installed in order to access MySQL. You don't have it installed.

Looks like DBI::MySQL. Ever used ppm?

How do I install DBI::MySQL? Sorry very new.

What is ppm?

Thanks

It stands for Perl Package Manager. It's sort of similar to apt, if you're familiar with Linux at all. You run it by typing ppm at the command line. To install the DBI::MySQL package, you'd type "install dbi::mysql" inside the ppm prompt and it should handle everything for you from there.

Thanks

In Linux I would use SSH. And with linux I understand command line.

I am new to window servers and and I'm not sure how to get to a prompt.

How do I get to the ppm prompt ?

Thanks

The same way you would on your home machine, if you're running Windows. It's listed in the start menu, under accessories or you could also type "cmd" in the run dialog.

Thanks for your help last night.

I went tm cmd, typed PPM, and at the prompt typed install MBI::MySQL and got the following error message. Do you know what it means?

Error: No valid respositories:
Error: 500 Can't connect to ppm.ActiveState.com:80 (conection: Unknown error) at c:/Program Files/SWsoft/Plesk/Perl/site/lib/PPM/Repository.pm line84

Thanks
