Movable
Type is a popular Perl-based content management system for Weblogs. Recent versions of the software have included support for PHP-based dynamic pages. DreamHost users may want to use MySQL as the backend database for their Movable Type content.
Since Movable Type Goes Open Source, I give a try to use this blog platform. First, I try install it on Dreamhost since I use this hosting for my several blogs 
The following instructions are for installing Movable Type 4 on a website hosted by DreamHost. I created the instructions from notes I took during what turned out to be a smooth, problem free install.
If you have a suggestion for improving the notes, please contact me: me[at]supriyadisw[dot]net
Setup MySQL Database
In your Dreamhost Panel, go to Goodies>MySQL and create a new database and hostname (alternatively, if you already have a hostname setup, you can use that one).
- Database Name: mtdb
- Hostname: mysql.yourdomain.com
- First User: mtdbuser
- Password: mtdbpassword (keep this safe)
Click “Add new database now!“.
It”ll take a few minutes for this database to become active unless you had to create a new hostname (this could take as long as 24 hours).
Download the file and upload it
You need the most recent zipped file from Movable Type. Download it into your local PC.
Unzip the file and re-name the folder to mt.
FTP the folder mt to the yourdomain.com directory on the Dreamhost server in “automatic mode”.
It”s faster to upload the zipped file and unpack it on the server. This how to make it faster
- Upload your zipped file from Movable Type into your yourdomain.com directory on the Dreamhost server.
- Login with Putty to access your Shell Access
- Move into your yourdomain.com directory
[propel]$ cd yourdomain.com
- Unpack your file
[propel]$ tar zxvf MT-4.0-beta2-20070612.tar.gz
- Rename your folder into mt
[propel]$ mv MT-4.0-beta2-20070612 mt
But if you do not sure to do this, no problem. You can do the first option
