How to Install DadaMail on Fedora Server Latest

DadaMail is a powerful email marketing software that allows you to send emails, newsletters, and other marketing materials to your subscribers. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you install DadaMail on your Fedora server:

Prerequisites

Before proceeding to the installation, ensure that you have the following:

• A Fedora server
• Root access to the server
• A web server (Apache or Nginx)
• Perl interpreter version 5.14 or later

Step 1: Update Fedora

First, you need to ensure that your Fedora system is up-to-date:

sudo dnf update

Step 2: Install Perl and its Dependencies

DadaMail is a Perl application; therefore, you need to install the Perl interpreter and its dependencies. Run the following command to install:

sudo dnf install perl perl-CPAN perl-core perl-GD perl-IO-Compress perl-Mail-Sendmail perl-DBD-MySQL perl-XML-Simple

Step 3: Download DadaMail

Next, you need to download the latest version of DadaMail from the official website. Run the following command to download:

wget https://dadamailproject.com/d/install_dada_mail.latest.zip

Step 4: Unzip the DadaMail Package

Once the package is downloaded, unzip it using the following command:

unzip install_dada_mail.latest.zip

The above command will create a new directory named dada.

Step 5: Prepare your Web Server Environment

To access DadaMail, you need to set up a virtual host on your web server. Here, we are using Apache as our web server.

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/dada.conf

Add the following lines to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin email@example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/dada
    ServerName dada.example.com
    <Directory />
        AllowOverride none
        Require all denied
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/html/dada>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/dada_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/dada_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Make sure to replace the ServerName with your domain name or IP address.

Step 6: Install DadaMail

Now, go to the dada directory by running:

cd dada

Then, run the installer script:

sudo ./install.cgi

The installer will prompt you to enter some details, such as the database credentials, admin email, and password.

Follow the instructions and wait for the installation to complete.

Step 7: Test DadaMail

DadaMail is now installed on your Fedora server. To test it, open your web browser and access the following URL:

http://dada.example.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi

Replace dada.example.com with your domain name or IP address.

You should see the DadaMail login page. Enter the admin email and password that you set up during the installation.

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed DadaMail on your Fedora server. You can now start sending newsletters and other marketing materials to your subscribers.
