Media Manager Install for Win32

| 0 Comments

One of the most useful plugins I use on this site is Byrne Reese's Media Manager which integrates Amazon with Movable Type. To install MediaManager on Win32 with ActivePerl, there seem to be a couple of additional instructions to make the plugin work.


1. All the .cgi files for Media Manager in the /plugins/MediaManager directory need to be changed to point to the proper perl executable. The first line should look something like this:

#!c:/perl/bin/perl.exe -w


2. in /plugins/MediaManager/lib/MediaManager/App.pm, a line that reads:

$tmpl->param(script_url => File::Spec-> catdir($apppath, "mmanager.cgi"));

needs to be changed to:

$tmpl->param(script_url => $apppath . "mmanager.cgi");
