Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to download the latest version of phpList from the official website: https://www.phplist.com/.
Once the download is complete, extract the zip file to your desired location on your server.
Before installing phpList, you need to create a new database for it. You can use phpMyAdmin or the command line to create a new database.
Here's an example of how to create a new database using the mysql command line:
mysql -u root -p
Enter your root password when prompted.
CREATE DATABASE phplist;
Replace "phplist" with your desired database name.
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phplist.* TO 'phplistuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
Replace "phplistuser" and "yourpassword" with your desired username and password.
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
This will make sure that the privileges are updated.
Exit MySQL:
exit;
phpList requires some configuration before it can be installed. You need to edit the configuration file located at the root of the phpList directory:
cd /path/to/phplist
cp config/config_extended.php config/config.php
nano config/config.php
Change the following settings:
define("PHPMAILERHOST",'your-server-name.com');
Replace "your-server-name.com" with your server's hostname.
$database_host = 'localhost';
$database_name = 'phplist';
$database_user = 'phplistuser';
$database_password = 'yourpassword';
Replace "localhost", "phplist", "phplistuser", and "yourpassword" with the values you used when creating the database.
Once you've configured phpList, you can now install it by running the following command:
