movable type is up and working

I created a 128mb xen image w/ centos5.1;

yum install httpd

uncommented
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

and added ExecCGI to the

  Options line within the
<Directory "/var/www/html">

bit of httpd.conf;  made /var/www/html writable to apache, unziped the mt open source tarball in to /var/www/html/mt


yum install mysql
then
mysql >  grant all on movabletype.* to 'mt'@'localhost' identified by '****' 

then I went to http://wiki.xen.prgmr.com/mt and followed the instructions.  Easy peasy.
