I am trying to setup dada mail for the webring but gets stuck in these...<br /><br /><!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Variable #2: $FILES<br />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. <br /><br />To do this, you need to change the $FILES variable to point to an absolute path to a directory. An absolute path is a path that starts with a '/'. For example: <br /><br />$FILES = '/usr/home/justin/dada_files';To clarify, my home directory is located at: <br /><br />/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. <br /><br />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.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->Lets say my cpanelusername is thomas and I place these files outside the public_htm, what will <b>$FILES = '/usr/home/justin/dada_files';</b> look for me then?<br /><br />Then it says<br /><br /><!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Variable #3: $MAILPROG<br />Dada Mail needs the location to the sendmail utility to pass emails out to be sent. Most likely, this utility is located at: <br /><br />/usr/sbin/sendmailor:<br /><br />/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.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />Do I use <b>/usr/sbin/sendmail</b> or <b>/usr/lib/sendmail</b><br />And what exactly do I type if name is still thomas?<!--content-->
Thomas, the $FILES variable will look like this:<br /><b>$FILES = '/home/thomas/dada_files';</b><br /><br />About sendmail, you can use <b>/usr/sbin/sendmail</b><br /><br />Hope this helps <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
