Mat, why don't you first install Mailman using the directions, and once you get it working modify it to do whatever special tasks you have in mind.
To quote Jeremy Portzer: To find out information about an RPM's maker, etc., run "rpm -qip filename.rpm" . If you run that command on the Red Hat Linux mailman-2.0.13-1.i386.rpm, you'll see a bunch of EXTREMELY important setup notes -- things you must do after installing the RPM. Follow those instructions! Don't complain if you don't follow them and stuff doesn't work! *grin* If that doesn't resolve your problems, then check out the FAQ entry: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.014.htp Take care - Jon Carnes On Thu, 2002-12-19 at 12:09, Mat Harris wrote: > i have to forward this to the list again as it is a very urgent problem and > no-one answered last time. > > thanks > > ----- Forwarded message from Mat Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- > > Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2002 09:33:42 +0000 > From: Mat Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Mailman-Users] installation trouble > > i have just installed mailman 2.0.13-1 from the redhat 7.3 rpms onto my > redhat 7.3 box. > > I have created a virtual domain in apache set to run as user mailman and > group mailman. > > If i try to access the test.cgi script under normal cgi i get internal > server error (permission denied) but with mode_perl i get the env test page. > > however any attempt to access any of the python programs and I get internal > server error: > > Unrecognized character \x7F at /var/mailman/cgi-bin/admin.cgi line 1. > > what does this mean and how can I get rid of it.
