hey everyone
im trying to set up my blog using movabletype. i got all the mysql info but the MT fails to locate the db....i know i am doing the right thing.....it just wont locate the db any suggestions???

this is the message that i get even when tommy has set up mysql for me



CHECKING FOR DATA STORAGE MODULES:

The following modules are used for Movable Type data storage. You must
use either the Berkeley DB or MySQL database backend. In order to run
Movable Type, your server needs to have at least one of these modules
installed.

DB_File...
Your server does not have DB_File installed. DB_File is
required if you want to use the Berkeley DB/DB_File backend.
Please consult the installation instructions for help in
installing DB_File.

DBD::mysql...
Your server does not have DBD::mysql installed. DBI and
DBD::mysql are required if you want to use the MySQL database
backend. Please consult the installation instructions for help
in installing DBD::mysql.

That is right, we do not have "DBD::mysql" installed.

I also do not plan on installing it.

i reccomend this news script http://www.hotscripts.com/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?ID=6827 it doesnt even require a database.
