Question Moveable Type Installation Help

God, I am confused by the installation documents produced by Six Apart! I am also confused by the installation help I have seen here neither of these documentations are helpful! If you are on Surpass Hosting, and have Moveable Type Installed can you help me before I lose any more hair than I already have?

I can't get the configuration right and when I run the mt-check.cgi file I keep getting a HTTP 500 Error back, and Six Apart's documentation doesn't help one IOTA.

Help... Please...

Offtopic, but ook - Movable Type? Do you know what a server hog and usability pig that is? Wordpress is better, and free.

I have given up on attempting to setup Movable Type, and have decided to just run wordpress, and I made this decision over 2 weeks ago, because I just drove my self to the brink of insanity with the poorly written install help files that Six Apart writes.

I'm spinning with glee just from reading what he said. I love when people think alike!

I do that with a friend of mine. I think about calling her, and she'll call me. It's weird. Been doing that for years.

I've been friends with her for around 7 or 8 years now (best friends for a long time during that), so we've been able to do weird stuff like that.
