Regarding point 2. Open the Command line interface,
Cd $prefix/mailman bin/mmsitepass <new passwd> Now try again to create new mailing lists with this passwd. -----Original Message----- From: mailman-users-bounces+krishnadas=marfic....@python.org [mailto:mailman-users-bounces+krishnadas=marfic....@python.org] On Behalf Of Carlos Williams Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 6:18 AM To: mailman-users@python.org Subject: [Mailman-Users] Unable To Create Mailman Lists I just installed Mailman 2.1.9-4 on my Linux mail server and configured it according to the online guide straight from the Mailman site. It appears to be working fine and I get hit the main page via Apache and see the only pubic list available called 'Mailman'. Now I selected the 'Admin Overview Page' and it takes me straight to the 'Admin' page with out any credentials for password or anything. Is this normal Mailman behavior? Should anyone be able to simply hit my Mailman public page and walk right into the 'Admin' page with put any credentials? Secondly - since I am in the 'Admin' page, I then attempt to select the link that says "create a new mailing list" which takes me to a new page for adding all the criteria for the new list I would like to generate. At the very bottom, it has a blank field box for "List creator's (authentication) password:" and I simply have no idea what that is. If I leave it blank or type in the password for the only Mailman list I have called "Mailman", I get an error when creating the new list that says: "Error: You are not authorized to create new mailing lists" Can someone please tell me what I did wrong? Thanks so much! -Carlos ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/krishnadas%40marfic.com ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
