If you ran $prefix/bin/check_perms OK then look at youf httpd.conf file. It may be that a -FollowSymLinks Option is being applied that is stopping the symbolic link in $prefix/archives/public directory to the public list's archive being followed. This is mentioned in the MM INSTALL document.
The default permission for the server root often includes -FollowSymLinks and you want to open this up for your $prefix/archives/publicdirectory. For instance my httpd.conf contains: Alias /pipermail/ /mailman/run/archives/public/ <Directory /mailman/run/archives/public/> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> On Wednesday 18 September 2002 15:38, Mark Hanze wrote: > On the home page to Mailman, there is a link: > > "To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the > Schoolhouse-news Archives." > > When I click on the link I get: > > Forbidden > You don't have permission to access /pipermail/schoolhouse-news/ on this > server. > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > -------- > > Apache/1.3.26 Server at list.ourschool.k12.ny.us Port 80 > > > Everything else works great :) > ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
