This article describes what to do, in easy steps, in order to get up and running qickly with mosListMessenger (mosLM)

This is a partner product sold under license on behalf of the original creator

Once you purchase mosLM you will get several emails, these are:

1. Payment confirmation from PayPal or Barclays
2. Newletter Subscription, with link to unsubscribe (optional)
3. Email with attachment of moslm.zip (Containing other instructions in the body of the email.

Once you receive email three above you have the moslm.zip which is the Joomla component file for mosListMessenger.

Install moslm.zip as a Joomla Component

To install the component login to Joomla Admin and select Components from the Installers menu, click browse and locate the the moslm.zip file you were sent. Then click upload and install.

Wait

Click continue.

Then select "Mailing List Manager" from the Components menu, you should see an EULA ready to agree to.

Next step, read email 3 and digest the information that tells you to obtain a license key.

Obtaining and upload your license key.

What is key.php and how do I get it?

You need to visit http://www.phil-taylor.com/get-license and fill in the form, an email will be sent to you with mosKey.zip attached, extract that zip file to get key.php. DO NOT DELETE THIS EMAIL AS IT ALSO HAS an authorisation code on it that is needed during the install.

key.php contains information about you and your domain name, together with the authorisaton key this is your license. This information is also stored in our database in order for us to be able to track abuse and spam. (Each email sent with mosLM has a header that contains your authorisation key by matching autorisation keys with our database we are able to provide information to the demands of legal requests of authorities should you use mosLM for spamming or illegal reasons)

I have it, now where do I need to upload it to?

You need to upload key.php to the following location:

/administrator/components/com_lm/key.php

If you are unable to FTP the file into place due to permissions issues you can download and install JoomlaXplorer and change the permissions on the com_lm folder.

While you have your FTP Client open

You need to create two folders and make them writeable:

/components/com_lm/files
/components/com_lm/images

Great - back into Joomla Admin and lets continue.

Go back to Joomla admin where the EULA is waiting for you to agree to it - click I Agree and then follow the configuraton wizard through. This wizard will guide you through several steps ad may provide hints or raise issues along the way.

As soon as the install is finished you can safely delete the setup.php file that mosLM will tell you to delete and then you are all set to send emails!!!

Happy Emailing!
