Appendix: Configuration Directives
Movable Type makes available to system administrators a number of configuration directives that can be placed within Movable Type's core configuration file mt-config.cgi. These configuration directives allow administrators to customize the behavior of their entire Movable Type installation.
All config settings where you specify a path or a path+filename are specified relative to the location of the config file itself.
Some config directives are specific to the Community or Enterprise Packs, see those here:
