Website members area with subscription - help?

I'm looking at making a website with a members area that users would subscribe to get access to. I've trawled the internet and can't find anything I like - looking for easy software to manage this for me. The sort of thing with paypal integration :D Preferably free.





With my web host, I can password protect directories, so its really just a matter of getting the usernames and passwords for the directory to people when they pay for a subscription.





Thanks for any help.

Have a look at Drupal, and it's eCommerce add-in module for the subscriptions (if we're talking about PAID subscriptions).

I'll be writing a step-by-step visual (lots of screen shots) guide to the installation process in the very near future on my training site. I also have a Request-a-Course feature if there's a specific aspect that you want assistance with.
