Installing from Softaculous
Installing from Softaculous
I'm using the Softaculous installer provided with my site's cPanel. All seems to go well with the install. However, when I try the root/admin link provided, http://...../cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/admin, I get a Dada error page. On inspecting that link in my directory, I see only a text file "mail.cgi". What is "admin" supposed to be? Should there be a directory called "mail.cgi"?
Thanks for any help,

Re: Installing from Softaculous
There should be a directory called, "dada", and inside a plaintext file called, "mail.cgi". There should not be a directory called, "admin", but "/admin" should be appended to the end of the URL to your Dada Mail install, and I think that's what you see, http://example.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/admin
Looks like things are set up correctly to me. What's the error that's being thrown?

Re: Installing from Softaculous
this is the error message:
Also tried the manual install from your own instructions, but would not allow me to use mySQL, only SQLite, so I aborted that.
I tried installing several times, both simple and advanced options. Same error.Also tried the manual install from your own instructions, but would not allow me to use mySQL, only SQLite, so I aborted that.

Try changing the shebang line, as outlined here:

This issue is most likely why the Softaculous install isn't working either,

Re: Installing from Softaculous
Hi Justin,
I'm using a rented shared server, so I do not have complete access to all files and config. However it is using Perl 5.16.3. I started the manual install again (but didn't change the Perl location, as I have a version later than called out in the link you had me look at). Before I got to the db type selection, I stopped and looked at "installer_errors.txt". It has some info, but phpBB won't let me attach it ("illegal extension" even without it), or copy its contents here ("Forbidden. Message seems to be spam."). Is there some other way I can get that error file to you?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks, Bob

Re: Installing from Softaculous
That's plenty to run Dada Mail and cPanel will have a file manager that allows you to edit files. Access to those files should not a problem, either.
Give it a try, anyways. If that doesn't work, ask your host to install the DBD::mysql Perl module.However it is using Perl 5.16.3. I started the manual install again (but didn't change the Perl location, as I have a version later than called out in the link you had me look at)
Who's your host?

Re: Installing from Softaculous
OK, install success, after making the shebang mods you suggested. Now on to creating and using a list.
One question before moving to that: It appears so far that the top-level Dada web page will be for selecting/creating a List. Is that correct? So that any other mods for configuration requires text updates in .dada_files/.configs/.dada_config
I found the documentation for that.

You may drop into the install to make any global setting changes you would like,
