Question

How do I install and run MailerContrib on Cairo?

Issue 1: What zip file do I download and install for my Cairo version?

The MailerContrib topic says to follow the 1.17 version of that topic for installing it on Cairo. However, the install/zip file attached to the 1.17 version can't be unzipped.

The only MailerContrib zip file I can download is the one attached to the 1.20 version of the MailerContrib topic.

There appear to be major differences in the contents of the zip files for 1.17 and 1.20. Obviously the 1.17 instructions don't match up with the contents of the 1.20 zip file.

So, how/where do I get zip/install files to install MailerContrib on my Cairo installation?

Issue 2: How do I install MailerContrib?

Once I have the right zip file to install, what instructions do I follow?

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

I just downloaded and installed the zip attached to 1.17 (zip version 1.11) - on Windows XP SP2 - without any problems. Here's what I did:

• Navigated to MailerContrib page on twiki.org
• Followed the here link
• Clicked on the attachment
• Selected "Open"
• Clicked "Extract All"
• Saved to the root directory of my TWiki installation
• Opened a DOS box, cd to twiki root
• perl MailerContrib_installer.pl

The installation instructions for Cairo are the same as those for Dakar; i.e. unzip and run the installer script.

See http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/UninitializedValueInConcatenationOrStringAtNetPM for more information on a particular issue I ran into.

Note: I now have MailerContrib (that is, per topic notification) working on Cairo.
