It WORKS! I'm ELATED!

I'm not sure what exactly I did, except meticulously go through Kathleen's instructions ONE MORE TIME!

One hint: if you get as far as successfully creating the 'test' list but can't connect to the web portion try two things:

1) make sure you have " " around the your ScriptAlias statements in httpd.conf:

Kathleen has: ScriptAlias /mailman/ /Applications/mailman/cgi-bin/
Should be : ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/Applications/mailman/cgi-bin/"

2) make sure you stop/start Apache in the Sharing System Pref -- so simple, yet so deadly!

I want to thank everyone one both the web-development and mailmanusers lists for all your help and Kathleen for some really great instructions!

Now, is there a way to SEARCH on mailman archives? I don't see it as an option in pipermail ... I'll bet there's a FAQ about this though so I'm going to Google it.

Enjoy!

Is anyone here using Mailman on OS X? I've followed the instructions put together by Kathleen Webb at <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg12599.html> but keep getting this when I try to create a 'test' list:

[ibb-80:~] mailman% /Applications/mailman/bin/newlist
Enter the name of the list: test
Enter the email of the person running the list: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Initial test password:
Traceback (most recent call last):

mlist.Create(listname, owner_mail, pw)
File "/Applications/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 782, in Create
Utils.MakeDirTree(os.path.join(mm_cfg.LIST_DATA_DIR, name))
File "/Applications/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py", line 265, in MakeDirTree
os.mkdir(made_part, perms)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Applications/mailman/lists/test'
[ibb-80:~] mailman%
I could sure use some hints on what might be wrong.

Thanks.
