Installation
Path to Perl
#!/usr/bin/perl
- The script uses the most common path to Perl however if the script doesn’t run for you, you may have to change the first line of each cgi and pm file.
Configuration
- The Configs.pm file contains several variables that will need editing before the script will run on your server.
- $scriptdir = "/home/user/html/mindermate";
Enter the full server path to the mindermate script files.
- $scriptdirurl = "http://www.yourdomain.com/mindermate";
This is the URL to the path specified above.
Set this to the name you’d like to call your reminder service.
- $sitemail = "mindermate\@yourdomain.com";
Enter an email address to be used for reply address to all emails sent from the script. Remember @ must be preceeded by a slash to make \@.
- $mailsubject = "Your email reminder from MinderMate";
Set the subject you’d like on reminder emails.
- $sendmail = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";
Enter your path to sendmail.
This is the password that the admin user needs to gain access.
- Customise any template files to setup your own look and feel for the site. Also edit the mail templates to customise how your reminder emails will appear.
- Edit the paths and email address contained in the crontab.txt file, then from a telnet session run the following command to automate the script.
crontab crontab.txt
This will cause the script to run automatically every 15 minutes.
