MT login really slow on Caduceus

I've set up MT on Caduceus so that we can move the blogs off of minnesota onto it in due course.

The process seems quite straightforward. I can dump the database as follows:

mysqldump --no-defaults --compatible=mysql40 moveable_type > moveable_type_dump.19-07-2005.sql

I then have to comment out the LOCK and UNLOCK lines before and after inserts as phpMyAdmin didn't like these.

Once I'd changed the weblog config settings and rebuilt them it all worked fine and dandy, APART from the fact that logging in was REALLY slow.

This it appears, is because the script was failing to pull an MT news feed into this page, probably because the proxy environment variable isn't set for the Apache user.

The following is the solution, put:

NewsboxURL disable

into you mt.cfg file.

Logging in is slow and takes too long
