Hello, I am trying to set up Mailman on a Fedora Core 2 system running apache 2.0, using the Mailman 2.1.5 tarball downloaded from www.list.org. I have followed the installation instructions, and used
configure --with-mail-gid=mail --with-cgi-gid=apache at the configuration stage. These group names are the correct ones for sendmail and apache on my system (i.e. the ones given in httpd.conf and sendmail.cf). The installation proceeds without any errors, and when I set up the site-wide mailing list I get a confirmation e-mail stating that I can configure the mailing list at http://......../mailman/admin/mailman. However, when I point my web browser at that page I get: Mailman CGI error!!! The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being stored in your syslog: Failure to find group name apache. Try adding this group to your system, or re-run configure, providing an existing group name with the command line option --with-cgi-gid. The apache group exists on my system (i.e. it is listed in /etc/group) and works properly: I can chown files to this group. I have also tried running configure with the group ID numbers instead of the names, but get the same error. I know that this question has been posted before, but none of the posts in the archives describe what you have to do to fix it. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
