To All,
When I and a customer of mine attempt to create a List in Mailman under SLES10
in the Mailman Web admin UI, we get the below error. I have look at Google and
mailman-users list archives and cannot find a solution yet.
NOTE: If I go to /usr/lib/mailman/bin/ and execute the command ./newlist
newListNameToCreate IT WORKS FINE , but not under the web console.
I have Sendmail working with Mailman. Postfix is not an option.
NOTE: the below info, under the Error is the Mailman error log :
/var/lib/mailmain/logs/error log during the attempt to create any list from the
Mailman Webpage
I see the error in the log with the list name I try to create (list1, etc)
admin(10317): OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/list1.mbox'
So looks like a permission problem. I ran ./check_perms and then check_db - Did
not help.
I think if I do a chmod 755 -R /usr/lib/mailman/ , I may break something in
mailman. Did not do this.
I see that the user mailman in the mailman group is the owner of the mailman
files and directories, but after running the ./check_perms now root is the
owner of the mailman group, however he is not a part of the group, so I made
him a member - Same problem, even after restaring mailman with ./mailmanctl
restart
I noticed that /var/lib/mailman/archives/private was owned by the mailman
owner, so I did a chown -R for the owner root that is a member of the
mailman group, still same error.
Thanks for your assistance,Bob Perez (bpe...@novell.com)
