HowTo install PHPlist
« on: January 21, 2005, 07:58:49 AM »
Has anyone experience with PHPlist on SME?
It's a mailing list manager wich I would like to install  on my server, but my prior attempts failed. Is there a HowTo somewhere?

Just thought I would try it myself, seems to work fine, have you:
a Created a database
b setup the config.php file with the infomation to access the database.

What Errors are you getting?

I tried to install PHPlist a few weeks ago, so I don't know exactly anymore, but I'm pretty sure I didn't get any errors. It just didn't work.
Now I've installed Xoops and would like to install PHPlist to make a mailinglist for my website.

I've tried to install PHPlist again yesterday:
I created a ibay (all permissions), copied the contents of the directory "public_html" to the HTML directory of the ibay, created a database (all permissions) and edited lists/config/config.php

Then I went to mydomain.nl/mailer/lists/admin, where I saw the PHP logo but also a error:

Database error 1146 Table 'list.phplist_task' doesn't exist
Error: You do not have enough privileges to access this page

Have installed PHPList and it works great. I took the following steps.

1. phpmyadmin to create database 'phplist'
2. creat new user with all priveleges ONLY on 'phplist' database
3. copy all relevant files to server (you will need to edit config files to reflect details of your server) and go to admin section of PHPList (it will scream about database not being set up so click link to create tables)
4. Login with default username and password and it's done.

Have been looking into this as an alternative to using SendStudio which we already use at our workplace and it seems feasible enough with a few features that I couldn't see in SendStudio.

Hope that helps,

Arthur
