Details
The Server Check plugin for Movable Type provides a super basic CGI script that when accessed will produce the output:
SERVER_CHECK_OK
This allows external monitors to confirm that the MT installation is in place,
the MT code base is loading, and it can connect to the database. It also
includes a plain text file to place in mt-static to confirm that mt-static
exists and is loading properly.
Installation
- Move the
ServerCheckplugin directory to the MTpluginsdirectory. - Move the
ServerCheckmt-static directory to themt-static/pluginsdirectory.
Should look like this when installed:
$MT_HOME/
plugins/
ServerCheck/
(plugin files here)
mt-static/
plugins/
ServerCheck/
(plugin static files here)
