I get a vague error when trying to create a Mailing List. It says, "An error occured. The list may not have been created." - which is in fact true.

I configured the admin->settings->massmailer properly (at least I think I did).

Is the "phplist" an application that has to be installed ahead of time or something?

Many thanks.

phplist needs to be installed before massmailer will work.

Version: » 4.6.x-1.x-dev

Hello,

I get this same error. I looked in the logs and found that the error is generated in database.mysql.inc. The error is as follows:

Unknown column 'public' in 'field list' query: INSERT INTO phplist_list (name, description, listorder, active, public, owner) VALUES ('blarf', 'blarf', '0', '', '0', '1') in /imedia/users/sk8mentald/htdocs/bm_dev/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

I looked in my DB in the phplist_list table, and lo and behold, there is no public field. All the remianing fields specified in the query DO exist however. The name 'blarf' is just a test value. This was with the CVS version of massmailer and phplist 2.9.4. The only noteworthy thing I can think of is that I unpacked phplist from a zip and not a tar as it says to do in the instructions. Is this a version issue with this field? I suppose I will download the tar and see if that helps matters.

Thanks,

Don't know what happened to your db. but the sql dumps that are distributed with massmailer contain the public field.
