Installing Dadamail

[Feen]

I have read a bunch of threads, what I am looking for is a newsletter program (send out only) that allows subscribers to opt in/out. From what I have read, Dadamail is best suited for this vs Mailman, and is easier to use. To install Dadamail, can I just upload the .tar file thru the file manager in cpanel and unzip there? or do I need to unzip on my desktop and then FTP as the instructions say? It seems like some have had problems with the FTP route (changing case), and I would like to simplify the install....Thx

 

Also, how do I add the subscribe page to the website?

Either method should work.

 

Sorry I've never used Dadamail so I don't know how to set up the subscription. I'm sure one of our users will be along to answer.

in looking at the instructions

there are some folders that are not normally uploaded

You need to uncompress the files and edit the Config.pm file

then upload

Most people have trouble in editing the Config.pm file.

You have to go inside far enough to find the right places to edit as the first part of the file has a lot of documentation.

The newest version has improved that and numbers the parts to edit.

 

If you follow the installation as per their site,

you will be fine.
