[Mailman-Users] Question on setting up mailman

2010-01-24 Thread james Tanit
Hello,

I have a lot of troubles setting up the mailman on a linux box. Please help. I 
guess these are simple and common
questions, so please help us. Many thanks.

Now, I run the apache webserver under username say, tatac, which is also the 
group name. I have suexec 
configured for apache. Why the following configuration doesn't work? Do I need 
a DocumentRoot?

I already run the suexec -V

 -D AP_DOC_ROOT=/
 -D AP_GID_MIN=100
 -D AP_HTTPD_USER=nobody
 -D AP_LOG_EXEC=/usr/local/apache/logs/suexec_log
 -D AP_SAFE_PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
 -D AP_UID_MIN=100
 -D AP_USERDIR_SUFFIX=public_html

I hate this nobody thing, it has given me a lot of troubles already. I just 
don't want to run under nobody.



mailman directory ownership is tatac:tatac

VirtualHost  xx.xx.xx.xx:80
 ServerName  list.tata.com
 ServerAlias list.tata.com
IfModule !mod_disable_suexec.c
SuexecUserGroup tatac tatac
/IfModule
Alias /mailman/archives /home/mailman/archives/public/
ScriptAlias  /mailman/ /home/mailman/cgi-bin/
Directory /home/mailman/cgi-bin/
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
/Directory

Alias /pipermail/ /home/mailman/archives/public/
Directory /home/mailman/archives/public/
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny

/Directory

 Directory /home/mailman/archives/public/
  AddDefaultCharset off

/VirtualHost


Any comments and ideas where went wrong?

Can you give us the eror message that you get?

Mailman and suEXEC do not play well together. See the FAQ at
http://wiki.list.org/x/toA9 for one person's way of making them work
together.

[Mailman-Users] Database error/bug

2010-01-24 Thread Daryl Bartkunsky
Good day,

 

I am currently using your mailman system,

I have around 200 email address with names in a database,

Called a party newsletter everything was fine, but now I'm unable to access
the 

Membership list or any other feature, I'm also not able to send emails to
this list,

I would like to know how to take the data out and then I can reimport it.

 

Where would I find this database 

 

Thanks 

 

Regards,

In a default Mailman install, the list data is in a Python pickle
stored in /usr/local/mailman/lists/LISTNAME/config.pck, but if this is
corrupt and the config.pck.last is corrupt too, the best you can do is
run strings on the file and try to make sense of the output.

Is this your Mailman installation or a hosted installation? If it is
hosted, you should be talking to your hosting provider to resolve this
issue or perhaps recover your list from a backup.

If this is your installation, if you tell us what the error information
and traceback from Mailman's error log is, we may be able to help you
find the problem.
