Greetings, I've just brought up mailman on a debian-testing box and almost everything works. (Hooray!) The problem I'm having is that after creating a list, subscribing a user, and sending a message to the list, I go to the list info page:
http://lists.pinyon.org/listinfo/testing3 and click on ... visit the Testing3 Archives with link: http://lists.pinyon.org/pipermail/testing3/ and I get Forbidden You don't have permission to access /pipermail/testing3/ on this server. So ok, this seems to be a permissions problem, and I'm bothering you all so that I can learn the Right Way(tm) to fix it. The relevant apache config is: <Directory /var/lib/mailman/archives/> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> Alias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ Here's the permissions trail (after bin/check_perms -f): root@quine:/var/lib/mailman# ls archives/ cgi-bin@ data/ lists/ logs@ Mailman@ qfiles/ spam/ bin@ cron@ icons@ locks@ mail@ messages/ scripts@ templates@ root@quine:/var/lib/mailman# ls -ld archives/ drwxrwsr-x 4 root list 4096 Oct 26 17:59 archives// root@quine:/var/lib/mailman# ls -ld archives/* drwxrws--- 6 list list 4096 Oct 27 15:09 archives/private/ drwxrwsr-x 2 root list 4096 Oct 27 15:09 archives/public/ root@quine:/var/lib/mailman# ls -ld archives/public/* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root list 41 Oct 26 18:01 archives/public/mailman -> /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/mailman/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 www-data list 42 Oct 27 15:09 archives/public/testing3 -> /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/testing3/ Hmm, archives/public/testing3 points to archives/private/... but apache running as www-data can't access archives/private because private is list:list and with no world readers (as it should be). However the list testing3 is configured to have *public* archives. So... why is the public archive pointing to the private one? What's the Right Way to fix this so that clicking the visit archives link on a new list doesn't result in a 403 Forbidden barf? Or have I possibly botched something else?
