If
you are behind a firewall, and you plan on having ListManager running behind it, you'll need to configure
your firewall so ListManager can send and receive mail properly.General Installation Instructions
Before you install ListManager, you'll need some information about the computer you're installing on and your network. The installer will prompt you for this information, so please have it handy when you install. These are general instructions for all platforms and SQL databases; consult the section on your particular database and operating system for more information.
Before Installation
If
you are behind a firewall, and you plan on having ListManager running behind it, you'll need to configure
your firewall so ListManager can send and receive mail properly.
If
you have a mail server on the same machine you plan to install ListManager, you'll need to decide how
you want to configure your mail server to coexist with ListManager.
ListManager uses its own mail server, and doesn't need another. If there is no mail server on the machine
on which you are installing ListManager, you don't need to worry about mail server coexistence.
If
there is already a web server running on the machine where you'll be installing ListManager, the ListManager
web interface will be installed on a different port.
If
you are using your own SQL database server, you'll need to determine which database or instance to use
for your ListManager tables, or create one specifically for ListManager. This step is not necessary if
you are using an included database (MSDE).
If
you are using your own SQL database server, and it will be on a different machine from the one that will
be running ListManager, you'll need to install the client tools on the machine that will be running ListManager.
During Installation
Please have the following information ready:
Information
about your SQL database (if using your own database, not one included with ListManager):
The name of your SQL machine.
The
SQL database server login or user name (blanks allowed for MSSQL with integrated security).
The
SQL database password (blanks allowed for MSSQL with integrated security).
The
database name.
Whether
or not you have a mail server running on the ListManager machine. See Mail
Server Coexistence for more information.
What
port you'd like the web interface on, if you already have a web server running (Unix only).
Your
ListManager serial code. If you don't have a serial code, contact your Lyris account representative at
800-768-2929 or sales@lyris.com.
