Hi forum, well I know that maybe is an old post and topic, but I did what the tutorial say and still have the problem, this is what I have:

In the preferences section I typed the next URL in the Remote List area:
http://www.misite.com/scripts/Im/Im.php

and then when I clicK Go button, the error appears. I have my own server with IIS and Win Server 2008 and I have my app in the root C:\Inetpub\wwwroot I mean the route is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\scripts\Im\Im.php

When I enter this part of the URL http://www.misite.com/scripts/ show me the directory, and the Im folder is shown but when I click that folder then 404 Error. I appreciate a little help on what I'm doing wrong. And Of course the folders have all the permissions to get public and that stuff. Maybe I guess, I have to install PHP?

Thanks so much. Greetings.

Hi, yes the url is correct, try this url which is the actual and correct:

http://www.indtx.com/scripts/

And you will see the directory, the web browser show the index directory and the folder Im but when you click on it, appears a message.

Waiting for your replay.
Thanks!

Did you really copied the whole lm folder there? I only get 'not found' errors here.

Hi, yes the folder exists and the path is physically there and correct.

So, when I try to get in the path /scripts/lm/lm.php the system redirects me to this root /scripts/lm/html/subscribe_single_fixed.php

so I do not know if that is normal I mean I do not need the apps about subscribe and unsubscribe, I just want to track open and click through.

Ok now I deleted the folders HTML, Picture and Templates, and deleted the html file in the lm folder root. Now if you put the url http://www.indtx.com/scripts/lm/ now we can see the files and no more redirection, but when I double click to the lm.php, the error appears again.

Any solution? or why this is happening? Thanks!

If you delete those folders you will simply kill MLM. The redirection is because you are not selecting a page, just a directory. The right file to open is here but it looks like you have deleted the file as well.

Ok, well I uploaded the lm folder to a server (hosting) where I have another web site and work perfect. The server have PHP installed.

But the same lm folder do not work in my own server, and still have the 404 error now I know is not the folder or an incorrect URL... and no lack of info or deleted files, or even missed files... I change the folder, rename it and nothing, bring all the permissions and nothing... where is the mistake?

I do not know what more to do, I just have one more thing I guess, installing PHP (one thing that really I do not want to do)... any suggestions?

Thanks!

PHP is required from the script to work. Without PHP, all you have is a bunch of useless text files your web server will don't know what to do with it.

Ok, we preferred to open a new domain for the email. So the MLM is working now and the next doubt we have is, in the Preferences section and General at the bottom of this there are a section Remote Pictures, for what is that?

Is necessary to make possible the open message tracking?

So because we will send HTML/Plain Text messages, because in the instructions we see "note that opening tracking is not possible with plain text message", so... Remote Pictures is necessary or just with HTML code inside the message
<a href=""></a>... or MailBulk just add a link automatically?

And this will be all.
Thanks!

Ok, now I guess this is working, after all I need to know if what I have now is correct ....

- I create the mySQL DB manually.

- Change parameters in the lm_settings.php file

- I installed MLM manually in the server and when I use this line (http://www.indtxblog.com/sc/lm/lm.php?c ... mypasshere) the MLM seems that created the tables called tbl_mlm_sub, bl_mlm_sub_clk, tbl_mlm_sub_req; and those tables each one have various columns, I guess that the second table have the function for track the open message.

- CHMOD the ‘lm’ folder to 77

- When I paste the URL above, the web browser just show a white background.

- I filled the Remote List spaces from the Preferences > General panel with the URL http://www.indtxblog.com/sc/lm/lm.php, and when I click Go the web browser show me the MLM Login page (not logged in I mean no inside the MLM). And of course filled ID and Password spaces and check the checkboxes of Click-Through tracking.

..... I'm in the right path or I did something wrong that maybe seems to be right :shock: :?

Thanks so much!

That has nothing to do with MLM. This is to use the [Base href] tag inside your message. That tag will be replaced with the remote picture URL.

No relation here. This is another feature.
So because we will send HTML/Plain Text messages, because in the instructions we see "note that opening tracking is not possible with plain text message", so... Remote Pictures is necessary or just with HTML code inside the message
<a href=""></a>... or MailBulk just add a link automatically?

MaxBulk Mailer does the job automatically, don't worry about that.

About the MLM installation, the CHMOD is to 777, not 77. Indeed the URL you have to add to MaxBulk Mailer preferences is http://www.indtxblog.com/sc/lm/lm.php and if you use that URL in a browser you actually get a login screen, that's correct!

Ok, yes, I use 777 CHMOD, I did not typed it complete... so, this is it, the magic will be right?

Yes! The magic works fine !

Open and click tracking are Ok.

The only doubt that I have now is this, when I click the SpamCheck an error appears that say: (exclamation sign)From contains "mail@" .... so when I erase the @ in the Settings tab > Sender Information > From (textbox) and then click again the SpamCheck the error gone, but... when I click the Send button an error appears that say "the sender has not been specified" or something like that... why this is happening?

Hope this is the last doubt... Thanks!

The sender that I have is [email protected]

If I erase the @ the error is: Sender e-mail address has not been specified yet.

But if I leave it as I show you the e-mail is send, but MailBulk say that this will be treated as a SPAM.

I don't see any problem here. I believe you should ignore the spam checker warning.
