Title: What To Put In Config.php with Godaddy?
Post by: on September 10, 2006, 03:09:03 pm

Ok I have my hostname username password and database name in it but it still doesnt work. It shows up as "Page Cannot Be Found". I everything in a seperate folder named mail. Anyone with experience setting up Godaddy , I would be appreciated if you gave me some help.

My host name is mysql189.secureserver.net
Username is same as my database name. (Is this suppose to be different?)

Thanks.

Greetings,

ListMail has been known to work with GoDaddy set up as you describe.  Did you enter the information in the appropriate fields in config.php.txt then rename it to config.php?  You may want to try re-uploading the files.  Note that you should simply browse to http://example.com/mail not to config.php directly.

Regards

This is getting really frustrating. I put everything (after saving config.php.txt to config.php) into a folder named mail and www.website.com/mail still shows up as page not found. I tried not editing config.php and it still shows up as Page not found.

Does your website respond normally at http://example.com when you edit files on the site (possible DNS propagation issue)?  Are you sure you uploaded the /mail folder to a subfolder of your public web folder?  Your site should load index.php by default from the mail folder, which should then redirect to ListMail's login.php where the installation starts.  You could also try accessing one of those two files directly - maybe index.php is not set as an 'Index' page.

My website works with index.html and other folders with index.html. I think maybe it is the php. Do you know how I can see if index.php is set as an 'Index' Page?

Hmm thats weird when I go to http://www.example.com/mail/index.php it shows as 'Page not found' also. So it must not be the index.

It really seems that you are not uploading mail/* to a sub-folder of your main web folder...  Try uploading an .html file to the same folder and see if you can load it.  If you can't, and you're sure it's the correct folder, there must be a DNS problem.  Could the rest of your site be loading from another server ?  I recommend making changes to an existing working .html document and seeing if those come through on the web.

They do come through. I put an index.html into mail folder (along with Listmailpro) and when I go to www.example.com/mail it will show the index.html. So I dont think it is the folder. I think my website cant read php. Are there any other solutions???

You could try adding the following to a file named .htaccess in your ListMail folder (you may have to rename the file remotely):

Code: [Select]

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
DirectoryIndex index.php
If that doesn't help you might want to talk to GoDaddy about not being able to run PHP from your site.

The problem was I had windows hosting and not linux hosting. Windows hosting dont permit php. Anyways I switched to linux and now it works flawlessly!

Glad to hear you got it sorted out.  Unfortunately, (last time I checked) GoDaddy has a strict 200 emails per day limit on outgoing email which is likely inadequate for your list mailings.  Please let me know if you'd like me to suggest alternative hosting. (See signature :) )
