You probably need to be root to do this. The line you should add might look something like the following (with the real absolute directory substituted for $prefix, of course): Exec /mailman/* $prefix/cgi-bin/* or: ScriptAlias /mailman/ $prefix/cgi-bin/ Consult your web server's documentation for details. ...snip... - Configure your web server to point to the Pipermail public mailing list archives: For example, in Apache: Alias /pipermail/ $varprefix/archives/public/ where $varprefix is usually $prefix unless you've used the --with-var-prefix option to configure. Consult your web server's documentation for details. Also be sure to configure your web server to follow symbolic links in this directory, otherwise public Pipermail archives won't be accessible. For Apache users, consult the FollowSymLinks option. Now restart your web server. === If you did not follow these steps, then I'll bet you also missed a lot of others that are even more important (like setting up your cron entries!). The following lines are typical additions to the file /etc/httpd/httpd.conf in Apache on Linux. Please note that the lines assume that mailman is installed to /home/mailman/. === Alias /pipermail/ /home/mailman/archives/public/ <Directory "/home/mailman/archives/public"> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> # Added for use by Mailman scripts ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/home/mailman/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/home/mailman/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> === Jon Carnes ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
