Using Plesk

If your machine does not allow shell access you can install Vorras Mailer through a web interface such as Plesk. Please note that a similar procedure has to be followed for other web interfaces such Cpanel.

  1. Unzip Vorras Mailer on your local hard drive.
  2. Start the File Manager and create a directory for Vorras Mailer in a cgi enabled directory (typically under cgi-bin).
  3. Following the directory structure you see in your local unzipped Vorras Mailer distribution, create all Vorras Mailer subdirectories using the File Manager. All subdirectories should have permission set to 755.
  4. After you create the whole directory tree start uploading files. If you have FTP access to your server it will be faster to upload Vorras Mailer files using an FTP tool. Otherwise you may have to use the File Manager. All files should have permissions set to 644 except of the following: index.cgi, admin.cgi, install.cgi, and dispatch.py, which should have permissions set to 755.
  5. Make sure the executable files index.cgi, admin.cgi, install.cgi, and dispatch.py have the correct location of the Python interpreter in their first line. On most systems you can set this to #!/usr/bin/env python (default value). Other possible values are #!/usr/bin/local/python or #!/usr/bin/python.
Read the README file in the Vorras Mailer directory and follow the directions there. The installation script is run through your web browser by pointing to the install.cgi script.

  1. Point your browser to the admin.cgi script found in the Vorras Mailer distribution. If you followed the instructions in the README file, you should be redirected to the admin.cgi script automatically. Read the next section for more information on what each configuration option means.
  2. If you have purchased a license for Vorras Antibot read Section 10 and complete the necessary configuration steps.
  3. Once you finish with Vorras Mailer Administration Interface, point your browser to the index.cgi script and start using Vorras Mailer.
