Dada Help Needed

[TCH-Thomas]

I am trying to setup dada mail for the webring but gets stuck in these...

 

Variable #2: $FILES

Dada Mail will write many different files when it works with the mailing lists you create. It needs a place on your hosting account to work on these files. This location needs to be spelled out in the $FILES variable.

 

To do this, you need to change the $FILES variable to point to an absolute path to a directory. An absolute path is a path that starts with a '/'. For example:

 

$FILES = '/usr/home/justin/dada_files';To clarify, my home directory is located at:

 

/usr/home/justinIn my home directory, I created a new directory called, dada_files. This is the directory that Dada Mail will use to save it's files in.

 

It's a very good idea to put this directory somewhere other than under your public html directory, as to assure you cannot view the list files from a web browser.

Lets say my cpanelusername is thomas and I place these files outside the public_htm, what will $FILES = '/usr/home/justin/dada_files'; look for me then?

 

Then it says

 

Variable #3: $MAILPROG

Dada Mail needs the location to the sendmail utility to pass emails out to be sent. Most likely, this utility is located at:

 

/usr/sbin/sendmailor:

 

/usr/lib/sendmail You'll most likely only need to change this to a different value in odd server setups. If this is the case, the best idea is to contact the system administrator for the server itself.

 

Do I use /usr/sbin/sendmail or /usr/lib/sendmail

And what exactly do I type if name is still thomas?

Thomas, the $FILES variable will look like this:

$FILES = '/home/thomas/dada_files';

 

About sendmail, you can use /usr/sbin/sendmail

 

Hope this helps
