keeping score

[brentmags]

firstly to the creator of this program - FANTASTIC addition

flipside for me is that i have spent numerous hours going over forums deciphering what has been asked and suggested and by trial and error i to find it very hard to understand.

i confess i am a newbie to php but that said i can create webpages using dreamweaver, import the html code and paste it in the message board, format 'HTML only' where all images etc are absolute URLs

worked out the settings etc to send to a handful of mail recipients but the business apsect of your program is understanding and implementing the functionality of MLM (which has been installed correctly) using mysql and even though i entered the correct database name and pwd etc when i go to my mysql account it shows nothing...so not sure there.

i think if i was to ask but one question just to get things humming along could you post an 'html coded example of an email with the various tags included "especially the unsubscribe one" so new people to this program can do less of the brow beating etc and perhaps gain a greater respect for what your program no doubt does for guys/gals more savvy with this stuff.

alas i will keep plodding on for it is a feature my client(s) wish to utilise

ps. i did read a forum with which the writer expressed more pictures with explanations. I do admit this is a time consuming affair but for those reading this...if you think of what can be included to help others learning curves, i am sure at some stage a pic someone else has posted may help you out as well...yeah i know

The installation tutorial is located here. Did you install MLM that way? What did you get? Any error? This installer just copy a bunch of files to your FTP server and set the permissions to 777, that's all. It also asks some questions about settings.

i did a fresh install of MLM for which i have no problems

there is nothing in the mysql database - should there be at this ealry point? And in red below is that what goes in Preferences: URL : remote list path - with the password being that to mysql database? (not sure)
http://<script_path_here>/lm.php?cmd=init&pwd=password

i am sorry i just find entry to understanding this "hard" and i do html websites daily, manipulate php code (not a php coder though) but am totally "blind" as to perhaps the simplicity of getting the 'subscribe - unsubscribe' going and i have read numerous forums etc

i get this appear regularly
Error #500:Internal Server Error(http://www.freshfishdeliveries.co.nz/Sc ... mypassword)&lang=us)

i just need a bit of direction for i am not sure how to take advantage of the back end stuff. Links to appropriate reading will suffice

Not until you run the init command with your browser or subscribe yourself to a list using any of the '/lm/html/' files.

And in red below is that what goes in Preferences: URL : remote list path - with the password being that to mysql database? (not sure)
http://<script_path_here>/lm.php?cmd=init&pwd=password

This is wrong. You have to use:
http://<script_path_here>/lm.php
Why are you adding all those parameters?

i get this appear regularly
Error #500:Internal Server Error(http://www.freshfishdeliveries.co.nz/Sc ... mypassword)&lang=us)

This is perhaps because your lm URL in the preferences is wrong or the lm folder has the wrong privileges. From the MLM FAQ:

When I run a MLM command with my browser I get an 'Internal Server Error'
That means your server doesn't like you to set the folder 'lm' access permissions to 777. Just CHMOD the 'lm' folder to 775 and try again. If it still fail CHMOD the 'lm' folder to 755. It should then work. You can CHMOD a folder with your FTP software.
