[Phpwebsite-developers] installing a module (newsletter)

[Toby W. <to...@th...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to install my first external module, newsletter, on a brand new
install of phpWebSite.

I expand the newsletter zip to the mod subdirectory.

Now there seem to be three possible routes by which I might install this
module.

1. http://mydomain.com/mod.php?mod=newsletter&op=setup

This is the advice in the INSTALL doc that comes with the module. This just
seems to redirect me to the index for the site. Looking at the PHP I have no
idea that it should do anything else.

2. Goto to the Administration page -> Modules Setup?
Uh there isn't a bit like this. There is boost which only seems to install
modules it knows about, and mod maker which seems to require lots of manual
information. I've tried it with some guessed defaults - newsletter,
index.php and so on. I don't put anything in the class, session vars and so
on.

When I go to active the new module I get the errors below. Anyone have any
ideas of the right way to do this?

cheers,
Toby
