correction on my part..I did have an underscore I just wrote it as _ (space) meaning I had a space with an underscore. So I just removed that and the folder name is dadafiles and it works. I just found it weird that it wouldn't work with the underscore. Because I even used the same folder, just went into the file manager and changed the name of the folder, changed it in the config file and it worked. Had me stumped, but past that now yipee and its working. Thanks everyone SO much!

nope, all lower case. I removed the _ (space) and created a folder dadafiles and it's working. So I guess the 'hard' part is done, now to get the program all set up with email list and get ready to send. Thanks everyone

I got it. I created another folder just titled files and changed it in the config file and that worked. But why wouldn't it work with the dada_files folder?

Yes I created a folder and the permissions are 777, still getting the same error. My dada_files folder is outside my public_html.

With the help of Thomas (thanks) I have gotten closer to having it done. I get this now when I go to the paged: DadaMail: There Seems To Be A Problem Yikes! Dada Mail was not set up properly. '/home/myname/dada_files' is NOT a directory. '/home/myname/dada_files' DOES NOT exist. I created a folder outside the public_html that is called dada_files. So how where have I gone wrong?

Darn, got a HTTP 500 error when I tried to open the link. Back to read and try to find where I went wrong.

Thanks everyone. Ok I'm starting from scratch on it all and let's see how far I get. I had to run off to a meeting in the middle of reading things, just my luck when I'm getting into it I gotta go. off to try now.

Forgive me as I feel like I'm totally lost on installing Dadamail. Here is what I did $PROGRAM_ROOT_PASSWORD = 'password'; I placed one in there $FILES = '/home/mydomain/dada_files'; I placed my domain name in there $MAILPROG = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; left that as is $PROGRAM_URL ='*****/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi' put in my domain. So I did that on the config.pm file, is this correct? After that I created a folder in my cgi-bin folder called dada and in that folder I have the config and mail.cgi file. What other files do I need uploaded, this is where I'm lost and confused. Where is the dada_files folder suppose to be placed and I'm also lost on the chmod 777 part. I'm not a html or script writer, I'm trying ot learn this. All I want is this program set up correctly. If someone can help I'd be forever grateful and is able to explain it in not to tech terms that I can understand Thanks so much. Stephanie
