Forgive me as I feel like I'm totally lost on installing Dadamail. Here is what I did<br /><br />$PROGRAM_ROOT_PASSWORD = 'password'; I placed one in there<br />$FILES = '/home/mydomain/dada_files'; I placed my domain name in there<br />$MAILPROG = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; left that as is<br />$PROGRAM_URL ='*****/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi' put in my domain.<br /><br />So I did that on the config.pm file, is this correct?<br /><br />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.<br /><br />I'm not a html or script writer, I'm trying ot learn this. All I want is this program set up correctly.<br /><br />If someone can help I'd be forever grateful and is able to explain it in not to tech terms that I can understand <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Please let us know how it goes. <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->

Darn, got a HTTP 500 error when I tried to open the link. Back to read and try to find where I went wrong.<!--content-->
With the help of Thomas (thanks) I have gotten closer to having it done. I get this now when I go to the paged:<br /><br />DadaMail: There Seems To Be A Problem<br /><br />Yikes!<br /><br />Dada Mail was not set up properly.<br /><br />'/home/myname/dada_files' is NOT a directory.<br /><br />'/home/myname/dada_files' DOES NOT exist.<br /><br />I created a folder outside the public_html that is called dada_files. So how where have I gone wrong?<!--content-->
Are you sure you created a folder an not a file? If it is a folder make sure you change the permissions of the folder to 777.<!--content-->
Yes I created a folder and the permissions are 777, still getting the same error. My dada_files folder is outside my public_html.<!--content-->
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?<!--content-->
<img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/clapping.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":clapping:" border="0" alt="clapping.gif" /> Glad you got it<br /><br />did the <b>dada_files </b>name have any upper case letters?<!--content-->
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. <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br /><br />Thanks everyone<!--content-->
