I am trying to set up this PHPlist on the website and it is giving me this
error
********************************
The installation can not be completed:

- You chose to install in the main directory of the domain mydomain.com,
but there are conflicting filenames, therefore we can not proceed. Following
filenames already exist in the main directory of the domain mydomain.com
(path="/home/domain/public_html/").You must manually remove these files
before proceeding with auto-installation:
index.html
********************************

I am trying to set up a mailing list for my work on our website. It says i
need to uninstall index.html, but is not index.html what you use to point the website to www.mydomain.com?  I would like to have a main page and have a link going to
another web page where you can sign up for the mailing list. is this possible?
 
Also if get this phplist up and did something wrong is there a way to delete
it and use it again or delete it and use the database for something else

Thank you for your help

Yep, I have phplist installedd and put it into a subfolder just as Garvey suggested.  You can name that folder whatever you want, but that is the folder where you will want to install the script for phplist.

Can you log into your phplist script as an admin?

Have you done the configuration part of the install? Mine was installed manually, so I have a ton of notes on what I had to do. If Fantastico installed this for you, there should have been some pages where they told you to print it off as it had important information you would need to keep track of.

Can you give us an address for  the folder that contains the phplist files?

I did some seaching on the forums and found that i had to delete a line in the htaccess folder the line was

php_value magic_quotes_gpc on  

Now i can get in the admin page and went to the set up parts, I am going to fiddle with it and see if i can get it going. I didnt have much time to mess with it yet.

I think my next issue will be how to make access the web page once i create it under the phplist admin thing. everytime i try and access the /mailinglist/index.html it gives me this

**********
Error: please make sure that index.php is your default document for a directory
If you have just installed PHPlist and get this message, make sure that your Apache configuration has somewhere

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

or that at least index.php is mentioned before index.html

For other webservers please consult your manual to find how to make index.php be the default document for a directory.

Alternatively you can delete the file "index.html" in the lists directory of PHPlist
*******

But i think when i go to the /mailinglist/index.php i think it brings me to the web page i created really quick under the phplist admin.

So is that the link i have to give them the index.php one ?

Well i am off to dinner and stuff but i will check this stuff out tomorrow

Thanks for all the help
I forgot that the Search tool is very handy  
If i run into anymore problems i will ask.
