I'm testing a new installation of postfix and mailman on a remote server (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 64-bit) with two active virtual hosts. Each host is accessed via a switch to https (TLS). I installed mailman (and postfix) via my package manager.
I've established four lists, two for each server, and I can send and receive mail successfully so far. However, I, as a list user, cannot get access to the archives for a list. When I try to look at the archives through the link on the Welcome message I get the following: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /pipermail/grads/ on this server. I tried changing the example line in the mailman.conf file from: Alias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ to ScriptAlias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ but that didn't change anything so I changed it back. I have searched this list for "pipermail" but see no similar problem. I'm sure I've missed a note somewhere but I'm not sure how to proceed. The mailman docs talk about permissions and the mailman user but Ubuntu installs all mailman files with root:list ownership which seems to work for all else. All the directories under /var/lib/mailman have these permissions: drwxrwsr-x 4 root list Thanks for your help. Best regards, -Tom Thomas M.
