Setting UP SMS with Dreamhost one click install

Jake

The script given in the readme file doesn't run properly in msql. I get an error saying syntax is wrong. I placed it just like this: mysql -u "statusnetuser" --password="statusnetpassword" statusnet < db/carrier.sql
I tried it with my status net password and Username and then tried it again with my database info. nothing worked. I also am having trouble finding the file on my mail server for step 2:
2. Edit /etc/aliases on your mail server and add the following line:

*: /path/to/statusnet/scripts/maildaemon.php

Does dreamhost provide a mail server that I have access to? or perhaps I just need to set up a free email account with dreamhost?
Any help will be appreciated...

Dreamhost uses postfix. To enable SMS and mail post you need to compile your own PHP with mailparse (check Dreamhost wiki for this). Then vi .forward.postfix in your home dir: "| /home/you/php5/bin/php /path/to/maildaemon.php" and modify maildaemon.php, comment the first line.One last thing, creat a catch-all mail account and forward it to you@yourhost.dreamhost.com. Well, so then you can use SMS and mail post, give it a try.

it would be cool if their one-click installer addressed this, I'll ask them
