If you'd like to use phpList for your own campaigns, or you just want to try phpList out, there is no need to do all the work of installing it yourself. phpList Hosted is free to use, just sign up to get started.

If at a later time you do want to migrate from your own installation to phpList Hosted, or vice versa, your data can be migrated.

Alternatively, you can try out the latest phpList release at phplist.org. This installation is wiped and refreshed every hour.

<div><img src="https://www.phplist.com/site/images/readme-images/1.svg" width="20px" style="margin-top:5px;"/> <strong>BACKUP your database</strong> (e.g. `mysqldump -u[user] -p[password] [database] > phplist-backup.sql`)</div><br/> <div><img src="https://www.phplist.com/site/images/readme-images/2.svg" width="20px"/> <strong>Copy your old configured files to some safe place</strong></div>

These files are:

<div><img src="https://www.phplist.com/site/images/readme-images/3.svg" width="20px"/> <strong>Copy the files from the tar file to your webroot.</strong></div>

You can copy everything in the lists directory in the tar file to your website. To facilitate future upgrades, ie to make it easier for you to simply copy everything I have now put the "configurable" files in their own directory. They reside in "lists/config". This is hopefully going to be the directory that you can keep between upgrades, and that will contain the only information that you want to be changed in order to make it work for your own site.

<img src="https://www.phplist.com/site/images/readme-images/4.svg" width="20px"/> <strong>Copy your configuration files to lists/config or re-edit the new config file sometimes new features are added to the config file, so it's better to use the new config file and re-adapt it to your situation.</strong>

An example .htaccess exists file in this directory. You should not allow access to this directory from the webserver at all. The example will work with apache.

You can overwrite the files that are there. They are example files.

<div><img src="https://www.phplist.com/site/images/readme-images/5.svg" width="20px"/> Go to `http://yourdomain/lists/admin/` and choose the 'Upgrade' link</div> <br/>

<img src="https://www.phplist.com/site/images/readme-images/6.svg" width="20px"/><strong> Click the link on this page.</strong><br/> This process may take quite a while if your database is large. Don't interrupt it.
