Did you get a instructions file in with the package. usually scripts have a readme or install file in one of the program/script folder.

If you can find this for me, ill help you with installation.

Hi
Thanks
Yes here are instructions:
The first thing that you need to do is to determine which page of your website will be the activation page.
The activation page is the one which will “activate” your autoresponder scripts to work. In our experience,
the best page to become your activation page is your homepage which is the most frequently visited
page of your website.

After you have determined which is your activation page, edit this page and paste the following scripts
anywhere between the <body> and <body > tags of your HTML.

<img src=http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/autoresponder/activate.cgi
width=1 height=1 border=0>

Do not upload yet this webpage. You will still need add your subscription box in this webpage. Just
remember, this is called your activation page.
Installation of the autoresponder scripts

Unzip the file called autoresponder.zip. Be sure you remember the directory where you unzip the files.
After unzipping, you should have the following files

(1) hml folder – there is nothing to edit /chnage in the files inside this folder.
(2) autoresponder folder – open it, it should contain the following 4 files:
config.cgi
activate.cgi
ar.cgi
Lite.pm

You need to edit only the file called config.cgi.

When you first opened the file config.cgi you might notice that it looks garbled. There is nothing wrong
with the file. Close it. Open the same file in wordpad. You notice that it looks ok now.

You will find detailed explanation in the config.cgi of what variables to change. What you are doing here is
configuring the script. You only have to do this one time.

After editing the config.cgi, you are now ready to upload your files to your web host.

Uploading the Files to your WebHost

Upload first the html folder to your root directory. This is the directory where you normally keep your
index.html or your home page.

Now look for your cgi-bin directory.

Upload the autoresponder folder under the cgi-bin directory. BE SURE that you upload the autoresponder
folder as ASCII and NOT BINARY.
I need help with file below:
sub configure {

#################################################################
# CHANGE ONLY THESE VARIABLES: #
#################################################################

# Type the URL address of the ar.cgi.
# Replace ONLY www.your domain.com to yourdomain or URL address.

$scriptpath="http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/autoresponder/ar.cgi";

$htmlpath="http://www.yourdomain.com/html";

$imgpath="http://www.yourdomain.com/html/img";

# Type the full path to your EMail program.
# If you're not sure of this, ask your server administrator

$mailprog='/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i';

# Type your email address. Make sure
# to place a \ in front of the @
# As an example: admin\@autoresponderunlimited.com

$fromaddr="info\@yourdomain.com";

# This is the file that will hold all of the email addresses and names
# of all of your autoresponders. Change it to something more secretive.

$mbase = "collect.txt";

# Type default name. If the system is unable to extract
# the prospect's name, it will print the Default Name.

$emptyuname="Friend";

# Enter the Admin password (case sensetive 8 chars max)

$password="";

}
1;
What information do I need and from where like below
$mailprog='/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i';
Please explain in plain english

Right, itll be best to do this step by step.

Choose the page you want as your activation page. it suggests this to be the homepage. If you want it to be different, choose the webpage you want it on.

I suggest you make a backup of your page incase things go wrong

Once you have decided, edit your webpage of your choice and paste this code anywhere between <body> (usually at the top) and the </body> (usually near the bottom)

Code:

<img src=http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/autoresponder/activate.cgi
width=1 height=1 border=0>

be sure to change the URL in that text/script to the URL of your homepage. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING AFTER THE /. Only change http://www.yourdomain.com.

Do this and save it with the same name as what it is on the site. So if it was index.html to begin with. You save the backup as indexbackup.html and save your edited code as index.html

Complete these instructions and post back saying you are ready for the next part.

Hi, I get to know this about this forum also because of this link.

I will start off from here and move on...

Well, I also just purchased my copy of Autoresponder Unlimited and had uploaded
the files as per instruction.

I got an error of code 500 internal error. How do I tackle this issue?

Or could anyone help verify my script?

Thanks!
