trying to fix commenting

Written on the original Movable Type site and recovered from the Internet Archive.

So commenting hasn’t been working on my blog. sorry. I finally (with the help of a product manager at Six Apart and reading some code) figured out what variable wasn’t being set right. so I had to edit my mt-config.cgi file to add a fully qualified URL to the CGIPath variable.

CGIPath http://www.nwventurevoice.com/cgi-bin/

Prior it had been relative:

CGIPath /cgi-bin/

which sent MT looking for the comment.cgi in each blog subdirectory instead of where the code actually resides. I think that will solve it, but now I have to regenerate the entire site.
