Install Movable Type Under Apache Tomcat »
I haven't done a lot of work with Apache Tomcat previously, so when someone asked if they could install Movable Type, I had to do a bit of digging to see if it was possible. The answer is actually yes - but it's not the most intuitive installation. Most steps are fairly simple, but making the pieces work can be challenging.
Getting Perl up and running under Tomcat isn't difficult - just dropping the files into a directory seems to make them work. But to make Movable Type work, you need more than just Perl - you need MySQL. That's where the trouble comes in and things get a little dicey.
