CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Please Read Before Installing

Before getting into configuration of the plugin, do note that this is an experimental plugin, so it is slightly awkward in a few places. Make sure you have the correct environment set up to use it.

Here's what you'll need to have:

Upload change_root_password.cgi into the plugins directory

We're assuming your cgi-bin looks like this:

 /home/account/cgi-bin/dada

and inside the dada directory is the mail.cgi file and the DADA (uppercase) directory. Good! Make a new directory in the dada directory called, plugins.

Upload your tweaked copy of change_root_password.cgi into that plugins directory. chmod 755 change_root_password.cgi

Configure the Config.pm file

This plugin will give you a new menu item in your list control panel. Tell Dada Mail to make this menu item by tweaking the Config.pm file. Find this line (or the line(s) similar) in Config.pm file:

 #                                      {-Title      => 'Change the Program Root Password',
 #                                       -Title_URL  => $PLUGIN_URL."/change_root_password.cgi",
 #                                       -Function   => 'change_root_password',
 #                                       -Activated  => 0,
 #                                      },

Uncomment it (take off the ``#'''s)

Save the Config.pm file.


DEPENDENCIES
