It works for me, but there are mirrors at <http://mailman.sf.net/mailman-install/node9.html> and <http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/node9.html>. Also, since you are apparently installing from source, it is in the source directory at admin/www/mailman-install/node9.html. >But I think I found what you mean :) >I now configured Mailman with >--prefix=/opt/mailman --with-mail-gid=mailman --with-cgi-gid=www >and all seems to work. >A bit strange, because if I read the entry for --with-cgi-gid >correctly, www should be taken as default. The warning box I refer to talks about the necessity for the web server to have search (x) permission on the archives/private directory, either by that directory being world searchable or owned by the web server user. configure and make install will create this directory world searchable (o+x) and owned by the user that ran make install (normally root), but bin/check_perms will warn you about this. If you then remove the world searchable (o-x) without changing the owner (but not the group), then you can't access public archives. >Another thing I don't understand is this: originally I configure >with >--prefix=/opt/mailman --with-mail-gid=bbs --with-cgi-gid=www >but then Mailman complained because the mail server (postfix) was >running with group mailman instead of bbs. >But postfix does not belong to group mailman... Postfix runs a pipe as the user that owns the aliases file in which the pipe is found. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
