Description

Phplist is an OpenSources Mailing List tool. It's a web application who is using Php and Mysql to work.

It can be setup on SmeServer with the contrib smeserver-phplist.

  Note:
no more available on firewall repository, please ask to the author if needed


Installation

  Note:
To begin, be sure you have the right repository setup on your system.

In my example, I will use the firewall-Services repository.


First, install the smeserver-phplist package. The dependencies will do the others tasks.

This will install two packages, on for Phplist, and the second to adapt Phplist for SmeServer.

 [root@sme8 ~]# yum install --enablerepo=fws smeserver-phplist

Configuration

You need to update your httpd.conf to define the alias in Apache.

 [root@sme8 ~]# expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf 

Then restart Apache.

 [root@sme8 ~]# sv t /service/httpd-e-smith/

Initialise the Mysql template database

 [root@sme8 ~]# expand-template /etc/e-smith/sql/init/phplistdb

Then execute the script.

 [root@sme8 ~]# sh /etc/e-smith/sql/init/phplistdb

In the last time, you need to set up the config.php of phplist.

 [root@sme8 ~]# expand-template /usr/share/phplist/www/lists/config/config.php 


OR

 [root@sme8 ~]# signal-event webapps-update

Other thing to do

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.
