Hi Dean

My website has been upgraded and has now changed from php to ASP and linked to Access instead of MySQL. So my listmailpro link has been lost. When I type in http://..../mail it comes up 'page not found'.

I am setting up another website (php and MySQL) so it's compatible with listmailpro. Am I able to then recreate a link to the new website? If so, how?

Thanks
Kimberley

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "Creating a link". If you mean can you have two web sites (or more) post to a ListMail signup form on another site, yes, you can do this. Simply use a standard signup form with an "ACTION" set to the correct ListMail signup.php URL.

Sorry Dean, you can tell I'm not technical. What I mean is that I bought and paid for the installation of lmp and a link to the sign up box onto my previous website. For some reason then my web guy changed the website from a php/MySQL type to an ASP/Access type so LMP doesn't work with it now. When I tried to log into my LMP by putting in my details ie. http:\\...mail, it came up 'page not found'. I am going to set up another website based on php/MySQL so I can link a sign up box from there to lmp, but in the meantime, there are two questions:

1. Can i use LMP and the lists I have to carry on manually adding users then sending out mass emails even if it's not linked to a sign up box on my new website?
2. When I try to log in to http:\\....mail, it comes up as 'page not found'. Why is this?

I hope that explains it more clearly.

Thanks
Kimberley

Hi Kimberley,

ListMail would have to run on the PHP+MySQL web site, so you might have a new ListMail URL at /mail of that site. Yes, once installed you can always manually add users and send email to them. Also, you should be able to add signup forms on either site and have them point to the new ListMail installation.

When I try to log in to http:\\....mail, it comes up as 'page not found'. Why is this?

You may have heard that "index.html" is loaded by default when you browse to the "root" of a web site folder... for example the HTML for http://example.com would be loaded from their public web folder from a file "index.html". The same can be done with PHP files with a file named index.php. When you browse to ListMail at /mail of your site, index.php is loaded (which then simply redirects to login.php). However, your new server does not support PHP scripts and therefore would not be configured to automatically load the ListMail index.php file. You could try browsing to it directly, but without PHP support the script will probably not run and may even be displayed (this can be a security issue when it comes to the config.php file).

I hope that helps.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
