Hi all,
I find mailman-2.1b2 quite difficult to install on a
linux redhat 7.2 system (problems with file permissions).
I install from the sources, following instructions from
INSTALL and INSTALL.POSTFIX.
My setup: apache (running with uid apache)
postfix (running as 'postfix')
(both installed form redhat rpms).
configure with:
./configure --with-python=`which python2` --with-mail-gid=mailman
--with-cgi-gid=apache
make install ^^^^^^^
^^^^^^
(--with-mail-gid=mailman is stated in README.POSTFIX)
The aliases are in data/aliases, created with the following permissions,
as stated in INSTALL:
# ls -l data
drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 May 25 09:22 data
# ls -l data/ali*
-rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 1198 May 25 09:22 data/aliases
-rw-r--r-- 1 mailman mailman 12288 May 25 09:19 data/aliases.db
I ran check_perm and genaliases, and did setup httpd.conf and main.cf
correctly.
BUT, when I try to create a list through the web, I get:
Bug in Mailman version 2.1b2
We're sorry, we hit a bug!
RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases
(status: 1, Operation not permitted)
After some investigations, I noticed that Postfix.py (and thus postalias)
is running with UID=apache, GID=mailman, groups=[apache]
Can someone help me ?
thanks,
Emmanuel
