Requirements

You need the firewall-services repo to install this contribs

Installation 8.x 9.x

This contrib is currently held in the fws repository, so the following commands will install on your smeserver.

yum install --enablerepo=fws smeserver-phplist

You will then need to activate the database changes etc. The 'official' way is to perform

signal-event post-upgrade;  signal-event reboot

or if you do not want to restart your computer

signal-event webapps-update

There is no panel in the server-manager, you can go to https://sme-ip/phplist/admin and perform a login with admin and its passwords of your internal ldap.

set the first admin account and now you need to fill in all mandatory fields.

DB commands

The bounces account

We need, to have Phplist working well, to create an account "bounces@youdomain.tld".

We have to setup a password for this account.

To configure the Bounces account in Phplist :

  [root@sme8 ~]# db configuration setprop phplist BouncesPassword the_password
  [root@sme8 ~]# signal-event webapps-update

Access to the Administrator Panel

By default, only admin user can access to the administrotor panel.

To add new users, you can add login in the DB :

  [root@sme8 ~]# db configuration setprop phplist AdminUsers user1,user2,user3,fws,admin
  [root@sme8 ~]# signal-event webapps-update

Administrate

Now you can access Phplist, you have just to go https://yourserver.tld/lists

The administrator interface was at https://yourserver.tld/lists/admin

The last step is to populate the database.

Go in the administation panel, and follow the Phplist instruction.
