Uploading lists tot MLM

[Jantepas]

Hi there,
I have several lists in MaxBulkmailer and just installed MLM. Now i would like to import my lists to the MLM on the server. Where are the lists of Bulkmailer, like backlist. Do i oversee something?

Use the 'Recipients > Upload to MLM' menu. Not sure if that responds your question.

Thanks,
I did select an list, then try tot sent to MLM. I then get the error:
Make sure you have filled in the fields Surname, Lastname and email. These fields are completely filled. I also tried to add a list to an list. But still doesn't work. Am i doing something wrong?
regards

Are you using MLM 3.0.9?

 

[Jantepas]

how can i see that. i have an mac

 

[Jantepas]

Finaly found it. I use MLM 3.09

Perfect, and you also ran the diagnostics, clever! You don't pass first step, the mySQL connection step. The problem can be a wrong server address, wrong port or wrong credentials. Try to use 'localhost' for the server...

 

[Jantepas]

thanks for the fast reply. Can you tell me where i can set it to 'localhost' in Maxbulkmailer preferences? I don't see that option.

 

[stanbusk]

It is not in MaxBulk Mailer but in the lm_settings.php file. At the end of it.

Enclosed the mentioned file content. Please can you tell me where to put localhost?

In front of '$dbhost'.

 

[Jantepas]

should i change this to
$dbhost='localhost'; ?

or do you mean to change it to http://xx.xx.xx.xx?

[stanbusk]

Yes, it is just to try. Note that a mySQL server will never start with 'http://'.

 

[Jantepas]

I have changed it to localhost... and it works!
Thanx for your great help!
