Overview

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

1. Move the ServerCheck plugin directory to the MT plugins directory.
2. Move the ServerCheck mt-static directory to the mt-static/plugins directory.

Should look like this when installed:

$MT_HOME/
    plugins/
        ServerCheck/
            (plugin files here)
    mt-static/
        plugins/
            ServerCheck/
                (plugin static files here)
