Karmatrane: /* What version of MySQL does XMission use? */

==What is SQL?==
SQL stands for "Structured Query Language". SQL is the most common standardized language used to access databases.

XMission uses MySQL, which is a very popular open-source database management system.

==What version of MySQL does XMission use?==
XMission currently has three versions of MySQL running: 5.1.57, 5.0.32 and 4.1.11. The current version is also displayed when you log in to the MySQL server.

Note: MySQL 5.0 and 4.1 are at the End of Product Lifecycle. All new databases will be created on the 5.1 MySQL server.

==How much does a database at XMission cost?==
If you have a Deluxe Hosting or Pro Hosting account, an SQL database is included in your account package. For any other account type, the charge is $5 per month.

==How do I get a database set up for my account?==
To add a database to your account, either [mailto:support@xmission.com email support@xmission.com] or contact sales.

==How do I log in to my database?==
Depending on your MySQL version, you will need to connect to a different host. For MySQL version 4.x, the server name is ''mysql-41.xmission.com''
<div class="messagebox metadata">'''Note''': ''mysql.xmission.com'' is the same machine, and will work for legacy purposes.</div>

For MySQL version 5.1 the server name is ''mysql-51.xmission.com'', for 5.0 "mysql-50.xmission.com"

To use a web interface to access your database, visit https://phpmyadmin.xmission.com/

To connect directly to the database from our shell server:
#telnet or ssh to ''shell.xmission.com''
#<tt>mysql -u acctname -h servername -p databasename</tt>
#This will prompt you for a password, which is not necessarily the same as your login password.

For example: to connect to a MySQL version 5.1 database, you would use:
<tt>mysql -u acctname -h mysql-51.xmission.com -p databasename</tt>

==What can I use to access my database?==
There isn't a "recommended" method to access your database, but here is a list of the more popular programing languages connection methods which we support.

'''perl''' : DBI module

'''python''' : mysql module or MySQLdb module

'''php''' : php has been compiled with the mysql functions built in

'''C''' : The header and libraries for mysql are installed so #include <mysql/mysql.h> will need to be present in your source files.

'''C++''' : same as C, but we also have mysql++ headers and libraries on XMission servers. To use this, #include <sqlplus>

'''Java''' : JDBC classes are available

==What do I do if I forgot my password?==
[mailto:support@xmission.com Email support@xmission.com] to have your password reset.

==Do I have a size limit (quota) for my database?==

Yes. The size of your database counts against your /home quota, which is 100MB default for most account types. Pro Hosting accounts get 200MB /home storage, and additional storage can be purchased.

==Can I use stored routines?==

Our MySQL 5.x servers support stored functions, procedures, triggers, and other such routines. Since it is a shared server, we do not allow users to create or edit their own routines. If you would like to have a routine installed, please contact support, providing a full copy of the routine you'd like installed. We will install the routine if we decide the code does not cause any problems or cause an unreasonable support burden. If you would like more complete control over database routines, please consider our [[VPS]] or [[Colocate]] products.

==Where can I get more information about using MySQL?==

Karmatrane: /* Concepts » 1. the Basics */

=== Concepts » 1. the Basics ===
For more in-depth documentation visit phplist.com here: [http://docs.phplist.com/PhplistDocumentation]

== Users & Lists ==

phpList employs a very flexible “membership” concept.

A User is an email address plus some Preferences, such as "I always want HTML emails", and, optionally, some Attributes ("my name is Bob", "I'm a Pastafarian").

A List is a grouper around some theme. It has Messages and Members.

A User may be a Member of (or Subscriber to) multiple Lists.

If you Import Users, from a CSV file for example, you have the option of automatically adding them to any of your Lists.

This "Many-to-Many" between Lists and Users (each List may have many Users; each User may belong to many Lists) may seem odd, but, oh, say you have a "Bathroom Safety", "Fishing Tips", and "Lounger Living" mailings. Well, you could setup these three Lists and allow your Users to Subscribe to any or all of your Lists they wish.

Many sites using phpList only have one List, and all Users should be Members of that, so it seems odd, this extra flexibility. You'll find that you can customize messages fairly well to remove any possible confusion for you or your Users.

== Messages & Templates ==

Now the other side of the system, Messages & Templates.

A Message is a single email (event) sent to the Members of one or more Lists (yes, targeting multiple lists is allowed)

A Message may use a Template or you may enter the Message Content in a "one-off" fashion, entering your HTML directly.

A Template must contain a CONTENT Placeholder. This defines an area within your email design that will be filled with the Message Content, allowing you to have a consistent look to your pages, while the content changes with each mailing.

Other Placeholders allow you to include a unique URL for each User that allows them to change their Preferences or Unsubscribe. You may also use any of the optional Attributes you defined.

== System Behaviors ==
Here are a few built-in behaviors of phpList. Love 'em. Hate 'em. Either way, live with 'em.

By design, a single Message is only sent to any User once.

By default Users do not receive Messages until they Confirm their List membership. (as an Admin you are able to override this) This means that as soon as they sign-up for a List they receive a Confirmation Request (email). They must then click the link that was included in the email to acknowledge and agree to List membership.

There are lots more features (some would say quirks, but all have a reason for being there once you see the Big Picture), so explore the documentation.

Phplist Features

2009-03-30T17:40:36Z

Karmatrane:

== ''' phplist Features''' ==

*phplist is a one-way email announcement delivery system. It is great for newsletters, publicity lists, notifications, and many other uses. (It is different from group mailing list systems like mailman.)

*The Web Interface lets you write and send messages, and manage phplist over the internet.

*phplist keeps sending messages from your web server, even after you shut down your computer.

*100 000 + subscribers. phplist is designed to manage mailing lists with hundreds of thousands of subscribers. phplist is excellent with smaller lists too!

*No duplicate messages. No 'forgotten' messages. phplist manages message delivery with a message queue, ensuring that every subscriber gets the email message, and that no subscribers receive two copies, even if they're subscribed to more than one list!

*Open/View Tracking tells you how many users opened your email message. This provides a minimum statistic, as many email clients with privacy or security policies block images (gmail, thunderbird, and others).

*Click Tracking tracks links and URLs. Statistics can be viewed by message, URL or subscriber.

*Multiple Subscribe Pages allow you to choose many different combinations of templates, languages, user attributes and lists.

*Templates are completely customizable, and make site integration a breeze.

*Multiple Templates on different subscribe pages can integrate phplist with several different web sites.

*Subscriber Attributes like 'name', 'country', and other personal information, are completely customizable. You can specify what information you need to get from users when they subscribe.

*User Specific Content. You can use Subscriber Attributes in message content to make each and every email message personalized with the subscribers name, country, or any other attribute.

*HTML email messages. Subscribers can be given the choice between text or html email messages. You decide whether subscribers can choose, what the default choice is, and what format a message is sent in: text only, html only, or both!

*The HTML Editor allows you to edit html messages from phplist using FCKeditor. TinyMCE is also available.

*Internationalization. phplist is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, Dutch, Vietname and Japanese and translation work is in progress for other languages.

*Easy Install via Fantastico, FTP upload, or SSH.

*Multiple List Administrators. The super-admin can assign lists to List Managers, who can manage their users and lists. The super-admin user can 'prepare' messages that can be sent by list managers to their lists.

*Subscriber Preferences. Every email message contains personalized URLs for subscribers to update their preferences or unsubscribe. Subscribers can update their own information and keep your database up to date. Unlike most other mailing list managers, in phplist subscribers can change their email address.

*The User Management tools are excellent to manage and maintain large databases of subscribers.

*Bounce Processing keeps your database clean of unused and non-existent email addresses.

*Advanced Bounce handling let's you teach phplist to distinguish between permanent and temporary message-delivery errors. You can define automated actions on receipt of bounce messages according to matches with your regular expressions.

*CSV Import and Export. Use CSV and tab delimited files to import your existing list of users or to export the users on the phplist system for use in your in-house database. phplist's database has a 'foreign key' to help keep multiple copies of databases synchronized without duplicating users.

*Attachments can be uploaded and included in messages for download.

*Send a Web page. Tell phplist the URL of a web page you want to send to your users, and phplist will fetch it and send it. You can even put subscriber-specific parameters in the URL.

*RSS feeds can be automatically sent to a mailing list weekly, daily, or monthly.

*PDF messages can be automatically created and sent as attachments to ensure that your message is seen the way it was designed by all your subscribers, regardless of their email message reader.

*Batch Processing is useful in shared hosting environments. Set the maximum number of sent messages in a given time period.

*Throttling can limit the load on your server so it doesn't overload.

*Domain Throttling limits the number of emails to specific domains to keep on the friendly side of their system administrators.

*Scheduled Sending let's you tell phplist when the message is to be sent.

*Repetition. A message can be repeated automatically to send updated dynamic content and attachments.

*Text from HTML. Text email messages are managed fluently in phplist. phplist will automatically create a text version of an html message.

*Optionally the message composer can create it manually.

*PGP signing and encrypting (soon).

Phplist Features

Karmatrane: Feature List

== ''' phplist Features''' ==

phplist is a one-way email announcement delivery system. It is great for newsletters, publicity lists, notifications, and many other uses. (It is different from group mailing list systems like mailman.)

The Web Interface lets you write and send messages, and manage phplist over the internet.

phplist keeps sending messages from your web server, even after you shut down your computer.

100 000 + subscribers. phplist is designed to manage mailing lists with hundreds of thousands of subscribers. phplist is excellent with smaller lists too!

No duplicate messages. No 'forgotten' messages. phplist manages message delivery with a message queue, ensuring that every subscriber gets the email message, and that no subscribers receive two copies, even if they're subscribed to more than one list!

Open/View Tracking tells you how many users opened your email message. This provides a minimum statistic, as many email clients with privacy or security policies block images (gmail, thunderbird, and others).

Click Tracking tracks links and URLs. Statistics can be viewed by message, URL or subscriber.

Multiple Subscribe Pages allow you to choose many different combinations of templates, languages, user attributes and lists.

Templates are completely customizable, and make site integration a breeze.

Multiple Templates on different subscribe pages can integrate phplist with several different web sites.

Subscriber Attributes like 'name', 'country', and other personal information, are completely customizable. You can specify what information you need to get from users when they subscribe.

User Specific Content. You can use Subscriber Attributes in message content to make each and every email message personalized with the subscribers name, country, or any other attribute.

HTML email messages. Subscribers can be given the choice between text or html email messages. You decide whether subscribers can choose, what the default choice is, and what format a message is sent in: text only, html only, or both!

The HTML Editor allows you to edit html messages from phplist using FCKeditor. TinyMCE is also available.

Internationalization. phplist is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, Dutch, Vietname and Japanese and translation work is in progress for other languages.

Easy Install via Fantastico, FTP upload, or SSH.

Multiple List Administrators. The super-admin can assign lists to List Managers, who can manage their users and lists. The super-admin user can 'prepare' messages that can be sent by list managers to their lists.

Subscriber Preferences. Every email message contains personalized URLs for subscribers to update their preferences or unsubscribe. Subscribers can update their own information and keep your database up to date. Unlike most other mailing list managers, in phplist subscribers can change their email address.

The User Management tools are excellent to manage and maintain large databases of subscribers.

Bounce Processing keeps your database clean of unused and non-existent email addresses.

Advanced Bounce handling let's you teach phplist to distinguish between permanent and temporary message-delivery errors. You can define automated actions on receipt of bounce messages according to matches with your regular expressions.

CSV Import and Export. Use CSV and tab delimited files to import your existing list of users or to export the users on the phplist system for use in your in-house database. phplist's database has a 'foreign key' to help keep multiple copies of databases synchronized without duplicating users.

Attachments can be uploaded and included in messages for download.

Send a Web page. Tell phplist the URL of a web page you want to send to your users, and phplist will fetch it and send it. You can even put subscriber-specific parameters in the URL.

RSS feeds can be automatically sent to a mailing list weekly, daily, or monthly.

PDF messages can be automatically created and sent as attachments to ensure that your message is seen the way it was designed by all your subscribers, regardless of their email message reader.

Batch Processing is useful in shared hosting environments. Set the maximum number of sent messages in a given time period.

Throttling can limit the load on your server so it doesn't overload.

Domain Throttling limits the number of emails to specific domains to keep on the friendly side of their system administrators.

Scheduled Sending let's you tell phplist when the message is to be sent.

Repetition. A message can be repeated automatically to send updated dynamic content and attachments.

Text from HTML. Text email messages are managed fluently in phplist. phplist will automatically create a text version of an html message.

Optionally the message composer can create it manually.

PGP signing and encrypting (soon).

Send your message digitally signed or encrypted, or both.

Email to Fax (soon).

Configure the details of your favourite email 2 fax gateway and phplist will send the HTML version of the message as a PDF attachment to your fax gateway. The fax will include the images in the HTML.

Integration with other tools. Several systems exist on the internet that integrate phplist with your favourite CMS or blogging tool. Check out the Documentation for a list.
