Hi the auto uploads errors for me and the manual option is not making any sense to me would some one be able to advise me what I am doing wrong. :)

When it refers to step one Open the lm/lm_settings.php file with a text editor.

Is it referring to the file that you have managed to upload to server or the file within the program installed on pc?

Also are you supposed to leave the “outside of email address and password etc. for example would I put
$admin_err_addr = "[email protected]"; // The address where internal error

Or $admin_err_addr = [email protected]; // The address where internal error

Do I have to make a folder to put it all in as if they are the files in the folder on desk top they are in a folder as such ... if so could I just upload the im folder direct to my public_html folder?

Lastly this bit is confusing as well to me where it says ...

5.- Enter the ‘lm.php’ full URL and your user ID and password to MaxBulk preferences.

6.- If you have selected to use mySQL run the script with the ‘Init’ command:

http://<script_path_here>/lm.php?cmd=init&pwd=password

How is this meant to be wrote would it be something like

http://www.mydomain.com/lm.php?cmd=YOUR LOGIN USER NAME&pwd=YOUR LOGIN PASSWORD (as in log in user name password? ) and im only guessing script is your domain name :(

The MLM files ara available here. It includes a file labeled 'lm_settings.php'. That file contains the MLM settings.
Also are you supposed to leave the “outside of email address and password etc. for example would I put

The first line is correct. The address has to be surrounded with quotes.
Do I have to make a folder to put it all in as if they are the files in the folder on desk top they are in a folder as such ... if so could I just upload the im folder direct to my public_html folder?

It is your choice, you can create a folder and upload the 'lm' folder into it or just upload the 'lm' folder to your 'public_html' folder.

What don't you understand?

http://<script_path_here>/lm.php?cmd=init&pwd=password

Thanks for getting back to me stanbusk referring to The MLM files ara available here. It includes a file labelled 'lm_settings.php'. That file contains the MLM settings.

The files I originally uploaded was the ones installed on pc also the file that was on pc 'lm_settings.php I edeted with my details. Do I now need to revert the pc file back to its original state (I saved an unedited version encase of error)

also the downloaded files have two folders one called __MACOSX and one called im they look to have the same files inside do I just upload just the im one?


the other bit I was stuck on 5.- Enter the ‘lm.php’ full URL and your user ID and password to MaxBulk preferences.

I think looking at it now it means enter the url and password withing the pc settings Was late 3pm dont think I was looking at it correctly lol

I have an idea though all other software I have installed that use mysql seem to have a set up like this ...

you manually upload files via ftp ...

then change settings 777 ...

then point broser to www.mydomain/install.php where the installer kicks in sets up files (you just ad the databacse bit when it asks you then you go back in and remove install folder for added security.

this methord seems to always set up fine first time just thougth this may be an option for vertion 8

You just have to upload the 'lm' folder.

Yes, script installs are almost always the same.

That is all I did have I missed some thing should I do anything withing MaxBulk Mailer on my pc ... change the file that is on my pc back to its default lm_settings.php (without all my edits?

Or do I have to try and run the install process again.

Error 404 has absolutely nothing to do with MLM. It is an error to tell you that the page you are trying to access doesn't exist. It is explained here. In clear that means the URL you are using to access MLM is wrong. MLM may be correctly installed but you are using the wrong URL to access it.

Yep I know what 404 means and the folder is in the location stated ..

I have just looged into ftp to double check and it is 100% at location public_html.

Which would make it http://www.mydomain.com/Im Correct? if not thats strange as it is for all my other scripts.

I uploaded my folder straight into my /public_html location not within another folder

I don’t need to add anything on the end like http://www.mydomain.com/Im/install.php or anything do I to activate it?


oK slight progress

I thought the lm folder was Im folder so you correct I was typing in the wrong symbol :D any way it now states Redirecting In a few moments you will be automatically transferred to the new page

if you are not forwarded in 10 seconds click here ... then it takes me to a 500.html page which acordingto uncle google means HTTP Error 500 Internal server error?

Any idea of where I may of gone wrong?

Thanx but that redirects me to http://www.Myhostdomain/e/500.html

If I use http://www.mydomain.com/lm/ I get the just redirecting you message that takes me to hosts 500.htm Page but when I add /lm.php to it it does not redirect it just goes straght to my host domain 500.html page.

Would it be anything to do with the mYsql database or to do with settings on pc not configered correctly?

Cheers

Edit update just checked the cmos settings on lm.php its 644 is that correct? lm folder is 777

The 'You forgot to provide the command parameter: &cmd=command' error means the script is now working. Now copy the URL to MaxBulk Mailer preferences.
