Re: MLP: The Next Generation
Hi Jonathan:
Re the sub-directory – let me explain: This has been placed outside the main domain i.e in site.com/test/ in order to test things out on the server before going live.
If you could set up a vhost to serve test.site.com from /path/to/site.com/test/, the chances of MLP working properly are higher. So, in other words, you put the test site in whichever folder you like (in your case, a subfolder of the main website’s root folder), but then you add a vhost to serve the website from a subdomain.

Re: MLP: The Next Generation
Hi Julián,
Well this is coming from a crappy Windows IIS server, so Apache Virtual Hosts does not seem to be an option. Personally, I would like the client to move to a Linux/Sun/etc with Apache server but its not up to me. What I need to do is establish if it works or not before going back to the client with a final recommendation.

Re: MLP: The Next Generation
Yes, I’ve read you mentioned the IIS “issue” in your previous post. But won’t it be possible to setup a test subdomain? That way, you will know if MLP works on IIS when installed on (sub)domain’s root. As MLP instructions clearly state that it may not work properly on subdirectory installations, installing it in a subdomain is a quick workaround. In fact, I’ve installed MLP on subfolders, while creating a subdomain to serve them properly, overcoming the subfolder issue.

Re: MLP: The Next Generation
Well on the crappy plan for this webhosting no subdomains are allowed. I guess the only option is to place the current MLP install in the root and see what happens.

Re: MLP: The Next Generation
Now I placed the MLP install in the main domain and it still did not work – same “The system cannot find the file specified.” error, even with messy URL’s.
Solutions? Or is this definitely a sign MLP does not work on Windows?

Re: MLP: The Next Generation
Well, I just switched my test MLP site to messy, and it all seems to work :) It is not on an IIS server of course…
BTW… we are in the wrong topic ;)

Re: MLP: The Next Generation
Is there any documentation on MLP besides the ReadMe file in the zip, or is that the authoritative source at the moment?
Likewise, are there any good homegrown tutorials out there that people recommend looking at?
Finally, what are some good examples of it in use. A fr/en example would be good, if anyone knows.
Thanks.

Re: MLP: The Next Generation
Working on that. This is not exactly more than there is in the readme file, I know, but there should be more to follow. If and when I find the time…

I have been using MLP on my blog Old Photos of Japan. Mainly for English and Japanese, but there are also some Dutch entries. I think it gives a pretty good idea of how MLP works.
• Old Photos of Japan – Japan in the 1850s~1960s (100% txp)
• MeijiShowa – Stock photos of Japan in the 1850s~1960s (100% txp)
• JapaneseStreets.com – Japanese street fashion (mostly txp)

Re: MLP: The Next Generation
Thanks, guys.
Kjeld – I love old photos that capture historical changes. I’ll have to explore your site more when I have more time. Great project!
