Hi,
I just did a new install of mailman v.2.0.13-1 on a redhat v.7.3 system. When editing Mailman/mm_cfg.py and then running bin/check_perms, I get the following error:
# bin/check_perms
Traceback (innermost last):
File "bin/check_perms", line 46, in ?
from Mailman import mm_cfg
File "/var/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py", line 60, in ?
DEFAULT_URL = '<http://www.mydomain.net/mailman/'> % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME
Assuming you have defined DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'www.mydomain.net', you probably want to say:
DEFAULT_URL = 'http://%s/mailman/' % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME
Or you could say:
DEFAULT_URL = 'http://www.mydomain.net/mailman/'
But you definitely do not want to say:
DEFAULT_URL = '<http://%s/mailman/>' % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME
TypeError: not all arguments converted What is causing this error?
The exception is Python complaining about a problem in string formatting. You gave it a variable to interpolate into a string (that is what the % operator is for) but you did not put anything in the string to say where to put the variable's value (the missing %s)
The < and > (greater than and less than) in/near the string are plain wrong as well and should have generated 'SyntaxError: invalid syntax' as presented so I guess you edited the Python output you actually got before posting it in your message?
I'm a newbie to Mailman and Redhat so any help will be appreciated and will need to be clear and basic so I can understand it.
Be aware that mm_cfg.py is a Python language file and you are editing Python code. Although fairly clear, be careful about leading indentation as this is syntactically significant in Python, unlike many other programming/scripting languages.
Thanks for any help you can provide! Gary
