- create a database in your control panel.
- create a database user name and password.
- add the user to the database.
-
log in to your new database with any tool that permits you to import and execute sql statements.
One common choice is phpMyAdmin - import and execute the awakear.sql file. The file is located under the 'docs' folder.
- check if you have 2 tables (ar_lead and ar_msg) built into your database.
Edit the config.php file. It's located under the 'inc' folder.
All fields are commented so there's nothing special to say here.
- Create a folder where you want the script to be installed. For instance, "aarfree".
- Upload all files to the folder you have just created.
- Set permission 755 to all .php files.
In your browser type the Awake Autoresponder url.
Something like http://yoursite.com/aarfree
You'll have login to Awake Autoresponder and click 'Run Autoresponder'
You may do this once a day.
Now, that's a better approach!!
In your control panel set the Cron to run the file run.php once a day.
Add to the command line:
lynx -dump http://yoursite.com/awakear/run.php > /dev/null
The following tags are avaiable:
<?Name?>, <?Email?> and <?Unsubscribe?>
You can set the index of messages, the day that the message will be sent, by choosing the day number when adding a new message. 0 (zero) means that the message will be sent when the lead is added. Right now Awake Autoresponder supports 60 days of messages. You can't send more than one message in a day to the same email.
