Site URL (Movable Type Documentation)

Site URL

This setting defines the full base URL to the root of the blog. So, using the default configuration and templates, if your blog was located at:

http://www.example.com/blog/index.html

your site URL setting would be:

http://www.example.com/blog/

This is a required field and is set initially when a blog is created.

You should never set your Site URL to the same value as the URL to your Movable Type application directory (i.e. the CGIPath configuration directive in mt-config.cgi).

By doing so, the system will publish your weblog content to the Movable Type application directory which can lead to numerous problems such as inadvertent overwriting of Movable Type distribution files and can potentially be a security hazard.
