[...] >However the list testing3 is configured to have *public* archives. >So... why is the public archive pointing to the private one? Because the archives are always in the archives/private/ tree and archives/public contains only symlinks to archives/public. If this were not the case, changing an archive from private to public or vice versa would require moving the tree rather than just adding/removing a symlink. >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? Make the archives/private/ directory searchable by the web server. Either chown www-data:list archives/private or chmod o+x archives/private. See section 4 of the installation manual at <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node9.html>. Also see <http://wiki.list.org/x/OIDD>, and if this is the way the Debian package installs, report this to Debian as a packaging bug. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
