I got an answer that helped with the problem I previously mentioned here.
QUOTE (girlie @ Jan 10 2004, 02:40 AM) In mt.cfg, you should have ObjectDriver DBI::mysql – make sure that's there and mt.cfg was uploaded in ASCII mode.
I changed DBD::mysql to DBI::mysql. That didn't solve the problem or allow the conversion to proceed. So next, I examined the host server name. It was absolutely correct. (I had copied and pasted it directly from my database login page and my host's instructions.) Figuring that it could be anything, I re-copied and pasted the url over itself and the conversion worked (after two stallouts).
Thanks, changing DBD to DBI was obviously part of the problem, but I don't get why the url was originally being rejected, considering I simply pasted the same url in its place.
I've seen the same thing happen with javascript. The script may look correct, but fail to work. Simply retyping the exact same code will sometimes fix the problem. Whatever works.

Some strange feeling seized me when I read your comment, guys.
Does guys’s post look strange here?
No. So guys, what is the point in your comment?
There always has to be some point.
Nothing personal tho.

Huh?! Are you blogspamming me?
What? No, why should I?
I have just an opinion of the blog and that’s all.
Sorry if it hurt in some way.
Relax guy, no one is hurt, I was asking the question as a result of a recent spate of blog spamming. Your comments are, um, a bit odd, which is what caused me to ask the question. This particular posting is related to some database issues this blog was experiencing. Longtime readers of this weblog are familiar with the problem. Further, the posting as added so that other MovableType users may find it when they are experiencing the same issues. Consequently, the database issues were ultimately solved through a conversion from the Berkeley db to MySQL.
Getting back to the point at hand, Google “blogspam” and you’ll see why I asked the question. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between legitimate posters and spambots that target the comment fields of weblogs.
That’s all.
I understand it. I do really. No hard feelings 😉
Why not install some anti-spam scripts(I’ve seen such) and rest assured of your clean blog?
BTW, I am thinking of starting my own blog, do you thin it’s worth while?

Anderson
I’ve got the anti-spam scripts on the backburner. After the spamming seemed to to subside, I decided to wait and see how the next few months went before employing more hacks and scripts.
If you have something on your mind, you should definitely consider starting your own blog. And then send me the url so I can blogroll you.
