Hello,

I am just a beginner to dada mail and a new comer to Perl But I have read the magic book In my opinion you must edit again the dada_bridge pl plugin You are told that to use lib it must be a directory Well In: use lib qw(

/ /DADA /DADA/perllib

/home/account/www/cgi-bin/dada /home/account/www/cgi-bin/dada/DADA /home/account/www/cgi-bin/dada/DADA/perllib

/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5 8 0/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5 8 0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/5 8 0/BSDPAN /usr/local/lib/perl5/5 8 0/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/5 8 0

);

Erase the first 3 lines: this: / /DADA /DADA/perllib end Then edit the 3 lines below It must be absolute path to the folder dada & Dada & perlib on your server 1 Try home/youraccount/www/cgi-bin/ and so on 2 If it don't work try /var/www/cgi-bin and so on

You can get an idea of your absolute path to the librairies doing ftp to your site but sometimes the path is not true for security reasons Read the doc and if it don't help contact your hosting company for the absolute path to cgi-bin Otherwise I give you a third solution which worked very well for me Upload this script to your cgi-bin directory Name it zorro pl

!/usr/bin/perl -w

#

printenv -- demo CGI program which just prints its environment

#

print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"; foreach $var (sort(keys(%ENV))) { $val = $ENV{$var}; $val =~ s|\n|\n|g; $val =~ s|"|\"|g; print "${var}=\"${val}\"\n"; }

chmod it 755 and open it with your browser the SCRIPT_FILENAME= is the absolute path to your cgi-bin directory

Edit the following lines in Config,pm {-Title => 'About Dada Mail', -Title_URL => "$S_PROGRAM_URL?flavor=manage_script", -Function => 'manage_script', -Activated => 1, }, Uncomment it! (remove the # in the beginning of the line)

Then connect to your administrative board an in the links on the left choose: About Dada Mail and click it

You will see this: Script Information

This is Pro Dada version 2 10 3

More Click on More Copy all the paths which begin with a slash; / Copy exactly this paths to your dada_bridge pl file

You can obtain the same results with ssh Do cd Do ls and walk until your plugins directory Do ls for being sure and the dada_bridge pl must be listed then do this command: perl -e 'print $_ "\n" foreach @INC'; You will get all your librairies on your server as with more on about dada Mail Copy exactly all the data which begin with / and paste it in the dada_bridge pl file

Note my configuration in dada_bridge pl is the following: use lib qw(

/var/www/cgi-bin/dada /var/www/cgi-bin/dada/DADA /var/www/cgi-bin/dada/DADA/perllib

/usr/local/perl/lib/5 8 7/i686-linux /usr/local/perl/lib/5 8 7 /usr/local/perl/lib/site_perl/5 8 7/i686-linux /usr/local/perl/lib/site_perl/5 8 7 /usr/local/perl/lib/site_perl

);

#

There is nothing else to configure in this program

You will obviously need to change it because your librairies on your server are not the same!

Then let's set the cron job: On my server I connect via ssh then I do the following command editcron -e In the magic book the author recommands the following command connect with ssh and perform the following command: crontab -e

First you need to know if you have the ability to set cron jobs Contact your hosting company and ask them if you have the ability or not to set cron jobs Otherwise ask them to set the following cron job for your dada mail: * * * * * /usr/bin/perl /home/myaccount/cgi-bin/dada/plugins/dada_bridge pl >/dev/null 2>&1 replace the /home/myaccount/cgi-bin/ with the absolute path to your cgi-bin directory with the help of zorro pl i gave you or more in
