Solution. OK - i was being dense. I checked all the permissions *except* those on the top-level user directory. Once I made it readable, the cgi could get to the index files.

This error seems to indicate that the CGI ran, but had error(s). Is this correct? My .namazurc file is "stock" except I uncommented and changed 2 lines: Index /home/namazu Template /home/namazu/test1 The owner and group for namazu.cgi and .namazurc are mailman/mailman, and the permissions are: 755 for each. the owner and group for /home/namazu/test1 are namazu/namazu and the permission on the directory is 775 Any suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated. I chose this method since the author indicated no changes were required to mailman - and right now, thats important. --Rusty ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
