Minimalist Admin is a very simple Web interface for the Minimalist mailing lists manager.

Installation:

1. Unarchive Minimalist Manager

Make sure that you are in your WWW directory and then unarchive the Minimalist Manager archive (whatever the filename is):

$ tar -zxvf minimalist-manager-0.3.tgz

2. Configure

Check the config.inc file. There you can specify settings that are relevant to your setup.

3. Create list configuration

The list information is taken from the lists.lst file from Minimalist.

In the directory /lists you find 2 files. One .css file in which you can modify the appearance of the subscribe/unsubscribe window. And one config file, in which relevant information which describes the mailinlist.

You have to create at least the config file per list. If there is no css file it will use the toplevel stylesheet located in the root of Minimalist Manager.

4. Done

This is all that is needed. Fire up your browser and go to the site that you specified to host Minimalist Manager.

Requirements:
Minimalist
Apache/Lighttpd or any other webserver that understands PHP
PHP 4.1 or higher.

What's New in This Release:
A small list-writers bug was fixed.
