Problem Installing AMLM Lite v4.1


I understand you are having some problems installing AMLM Lite v4.1.

There is no bug in the above script which has been installed on thousands of servers across the world!

Most of the time, the problem is due to users not knowing how to install scripts. 

Only about 5% of the time, the problem is due to incompatibility with older versions of perl/mysql or server configuration.

I suggest that you follow the steps below to install:

1. Read the instructions given in the readme.txt file which is inside the zip folder you downloaded. Follow the steps carefully especially when setting file permissions.

2. Watch the two-part videos on how to install and set up the Autoresponder. You can choose from the Yahoo, Google and Youtube video links below (This is for you to select the best download speed):

3. Make sure you are using Auto mode in your ftp client when you upload the files to the cgi-bin of your host. Do not upload the zip file without unzipping first ie, do not upload the zip file to the cgi bin and then unzip using the file manager in your cpanel. 

4. Make sure ALL files have been uploaded to your cgi-bin correctly.

5. If you receive this error message when trying to run install.cgi in your browser:

Internal Server Error 500

Add to the first line of the install.cgi and to responder.cgi
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

The addition of the switch -w cured the problems in some servers.

6. If you come accross Error Message 1146 when trying to create a new account.
This is because of incompatibility with your mysql version, resulting in two tables (account and user) not created properly. This problem does not arise in AMLM Pro.

a. Log into phpmyadmin on your host
b. Click the database you created
c. Click MYQL
d. Paste the following 2 sets of commands separately inside RUN SQL QUERY input box:

>>>>>>>>
CREATE TABLE `swd_account` (
  `pk_account` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `name` char(16) NOT NULL default '',
  `isact` tinyint(4) NOT NULL default '1',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`pk_account`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;
>>>>>>>>
CREATE TABLE `swd_user` (
  `pk_user` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `fk_account` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `email` varchar(40) NOT NULL default '',
  `name` varchar(40) default NULL,
  `isact` tinyint(4) NOT NULL default '1',
  `datereg` date default NULL,
  `days` tinyint(4) default '0',
  `datelastsend` date default NULL,
  `messlastsend` int(11) default NULL,
  `countsend` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `undelivered` tinyint(4) default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`pk_user`),
  KEY `fk_account` (`fk_account`,`email`,`isact`),
  KEY `email` (`email`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;
>>>>>>>>

e. Click go.
f. Notice we are using the default prefix swd_ in the database. If you are not using default value, change it accordingly.

7. Use phpmyadmin to automatically repair your database. This is found inside the mysql icon in cpanel.

8. If everything fails, try to install AMLM Lite on a different server. 
If you do not have another server, try to sign up with a free host that provide cgi access.
Type "free hosts" into your search engines, you will find lots of them.

The last step is the easiest and usually solve the problem!

As stated above, there is no bug in AMLM Lite. Most of the time, the problem is due to users not knowing how to install scripts. Only about 5% of the time, the problem is due to incompatibility with older versions of perl. 



If you buy the AMLM Pro which has a more robust script, you will not run into this problem.
