Welcome to Installation Help
This won't take up to much of your time as installing MailerPro™ is a
simple operation.
Step One
Before you upload MailerPro™ to your Web Site you will need to
make a number of changes to the "conn.asp". Open the file in
your
favorite text editor like Note Pad and change the following.
You can either use Access, MS SQL 2000 or MYSQL database choose which one by uncommenting one of these two lines.
'DataBaseType = "access" 'uncomment this line if you wish to
use Access Database
'DataBaseType = "mssql" 'uncomment this line if you wish
to use MS SQL 2000 Database
'DataBaseType = "mysql" 'uncomment this line if you wish
to use MYSQL Database
If you chose Access as your Database you need to enter the full path
to the database example
"C:\websites\mysite\db" , NO
Trailing Slash .IF YOU NEED TO USE THE SERVER.MAPPATH EXAMPLE:
AccessDatabasePath = Server.MapPath("\mailerpro20")
CHANGE THE "\mailerpro20" TO THE FOLDER THE DATABASE IS IN AND MAKE
SURE YOU HAVE THE BACK SLASH \
AND NO TRAILING SLASH. AND DON'T USE THE BEGINING AND ENDING " "
EXCEPT THE ONES BETWEEN THE BRACKETS.
AccessDatabasePath = "databasepath" 'enter between the "" the
full path to the database. NO trailing slash. If using Server.MapPath
delete the "".
AccessDatabaseName = "mailerpro.mdb" 'enter between
the "" the name of Database here, if you have renamed it enter that
name.
If you have chosen MSSQL or MYSQL you will need to enter the info to these
lines.
sqlServerName = "server name"
'enter between the "" the MS SQL Server Name, could be either a IP or
Domain Name
sqlDatabaseName = "database name" 'enter between the "" the
Database Name.
sqlPassword = "password"
'enter between the "" the Password for Database.
sqlUserID = "user id"
'enter between the "" the User ID for Database.
If your not sure of any of the above contact your Administrator or Web
Host.
That's all you need to do, make sure everything is accurate and save
the file.
If you have chosen MS SQL the script will automatically place all
Table, Procedures and Indexes into your Database when you first login.
Step Two
Uploading, we recommend that you use FrontPage to publish your
MailerPro™ script. As
it will create a folder with the correct
permissions for the database.
If haven't FrontPage then use your favorite FTP Client to
upload. But remember you will have to set the permissions for
the
database folder manually.
Step Three
Once you have uploaded the script to your web site. Open the
default.asp or login.asp with your browser, since it's your first
time it will re-direct you to the registration page. Here you need to
enter your License ID to register you installation. You require
a separate license for each installation of MailerPro™ . Once the
registration is complete you will be provided a link to click which
will direct you to the Setup Page. If you require help with the setup
just click the Online Help which will open a Help Window displaying
information concerning Setup.
Upgrading
For those who are upgrading from a previous version we have a
upgrade function that will allow you to transfer your lists from the
old database to lists in the new database. This can be accessed via
the Setup Options. You must make sure you are transferring to a list
with the exact same fields as being a different database structure the
script can't compare or check fields.
Well there are, like I said installation is a pretty simple affair.
Yours Sincerely
