If you are a little experienced, the following guide will be sufficient.<br> First of all, you have to unpack the package you've downloaded and edit <code>config.php</code> with your username/password. You can add more than one user.<br> Then, upload to your web space the whole folder <code>ccmail/</code>, and include in the php pages in which you want to display the Subscription Form the following line: <code><ul><li><?php include "ccmail/include.php";?></code></li></ul> This line will be replaced, when php will be processed, by the complete form. <br>If the form is too big for your pages, or you would like a more compact form, you can include the other file: <br><code><ul><li><?php include "ccmail/include1.php";?></code></li></ul> or put the following HTML code in your pages (it will bring the user to the complete form):<br><br> <center> <table border="0" bgcolor="#E3E3E3" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5"><tr><td width="350"> <div class="standard"><code> <form method="get" action="ccmail/index.php"><br> <b>Insert Email Address:</b><br><br> <input name="address" size="15"><br> <input type="submit" value="Go"><br> </form><br> </code></td></tr></table></center><br><br> <i>If you want to redirect the user to another page, edit "action" method.<br></i> Finally, open admin.php, authenticate and edit your settings!<br><br> <b>If you experience some problems, like permissions denying, try to chmod EVERYTHING inside data/ directory, including the folder itself, to 775, or 777.<br></b> <br><b>To erase all stored informations</b>, simply delete data/ directory. <br><br><br> <b>Upgrading from previous versions</b><br> If you upgrade from version RC1, you have to move <code>settings/</code> folder inside <code>data/</code> directory first.<br> Else, just do the following: replace ALL files in directory <code>ccmail/</code> except <code>data/</code> directory with the files of the new version. <br>If you have modified <code>config.php</code> file, report changes in the new config file.<br> <br><br><br> <b>Requirements</b><br> <ul> <li>Php > 4.1 <li>NO DATABASE REQUIRED (MySql, ...)</ul><br><br> <b>License</b><br> CcMail comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
