mu.nu - We're sorry we accidentally destroyed your panties.
July 25, 2007
We're looking at Movable Type 4 here at work, and my sys admin has asked some questions. I've tried to explain the MT model to him (it's a file processor, and not a file server), but I think he is stuck in a Community Server way of thinking.
So here is a question he asked that to me painfully obvious to answer, but in case there is something hidden in it, I wanted Pixy and other knowledgeable people to look at it.
How does this software work in multi-site environments? Say I want to install MT4 open source on a server and have both Blog1 and Blog2 running on that single install on the same server– possible? How? I know their commercial Enterprise product does this – does the open source one?
Don't worry about Enterprise and Open Source distinctions -- I'm working on identifying the differences between them, if any. But the idea of running multiple blogs from a single install of MT with multiple authors is what we do here on mu.nu. That's normal, right?

There's a fully functioning demo version of the most recent beta of MT4 available at http://www.movabletype4.org/ if you or your sysadmin wants to work with it without installing it himself.
Just to narrow down Pixy's comment - you don't actually point the web server to the directory, you point MT to that particular directory from within the MT interface for that blog. Dead easy and next to no server configuration required.
As for the whole "open source" issue - the version of MT 4 that will be released to open source is the same as the "regular" version. it's only the Enterprise version that's different (same basics, just more enterprise-necessary functions like Oracle database capability, LDAP integration, etc.)
Note, the open-source version is not available yet. There is a free, non-commercial-use license for the regular version, but it's definitely NOT open-source code at the moment.

Yep. I meant that you need to do both - MT writes to the directory and the web server reads from it, so you have to set them up to look at the same place, or it doesn't work so well.
