RE: [Mailman-Users] Mailman FAQ Wizard
That would be awesome to have a FAQ and a HOW-TO - even for basic stuff. Without formal training and working with it a lot installing and configuring 'nix software is anything but straightforward, though I will say I really like the mailman software. I created klug again, and the cgi pages look fine from a browser, with all the right goodies for the domain and email addresses - with the exception that the mail isn't going through - I get unknown user error. Was I to create an account? because there IS no account created with the ./newlist script, I wonder if the following section of the FAQ is applicable: - Q. What if I get document contains no data from the web server, or mail isn't getting delivered, or I see Premature end of script headers or Mailman CGI error!!! A. The most likely cause of this is that the GID that is compiled into the C wrappers does not match the GID that your Web server invokes CGI scripts with. Note that a similar error could occur if your mail system invokes filter programs under a GID that does not match the one compiled into the C mail wrapper. To fix this you will need to re-configure Mailman using the --with-cgi-gid and --with-mail-gid options. See the INSTALL file for details. -- if so, I don't know how to determin the CGI GID and MAIL GID other than to look in the User manager for those groups. A look just now shows no group by the name of cgi and the group mail with one member: mail. There is probably a command-line option to show the GID for a group, but the info is not displayed in the Gnome User manager. I suppose you all would just laugh at me if I suggested a straightforward GUI installer and manager that would run in Gnome/KDE. Thanks for the help, I'm close... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of J C Lawrence Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 8:22 PM To: Norbert Bollow Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman FAQ Wizard On Wed, 1 May 2002 01:20:49 +0200 Norbert Bollow [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Alternatively, I could set up a separate FAQ Wizard for (less technical) list manager questions at listowner.org ... would this be desirable?

RE: [Mailman-Users] Mailman FAQ Wizard
exception that the mail isn't going through - I get unknown user error. Was I to create an account? because there IS no account created with the ./newlist script, newlist instructs you to add aliases to support the new list. The section of INSTALL that talks about running newlist also discusses this. Really: follow INSTALL, step by step. If you don't understand a step, stop and understand it, by hook or crook. It's all in there, and it's all necessary. -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
