The Movable Type virtualization solution

| | Comments (0) |

Not that I'm an expert, because I'm far, far from it, but setting up a system to use the Movable Type blogging system ain't easy.

You need a server on which you create a database, configure Web-server software, implement PHP and somehow get all the permissions to work right.

Putting together a Movable Type installation should be easier now than ever, as I read in Matt Asay's Open Road blog, now that Movable Type parent company Six Apart has partnered with Jump Box, a virtual-machine company, to offer a fully virtualized MT bundle.

If I read this correctly, it means that through virtualization, you can have an instant Movable Type setup without having to do all that much configuration on your own.
