RE: [Mailman-Users] Mailman browswer question - initial set up
Tokio, I think that did the trick! I added your suggestion to my mm_cfg.py file and now I get the Mailman welcome page! I can even get to the page where you create new mail lists! Thanks to all! Let's see how much further I can get - it has definitely been a learning experience!

Looks like you should add DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s:5556/mailman/' in your mm_cfg.py file. You should also type 'http://my.host.name.edu:5556/mailman/listinfo' to display a start page. -- Tokio Kikuchi, tkikuchi@ is.kochi-u.ac.jp http://weather.is.kochi-u.ac.jp/ -- 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 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
RE: [Mailman-Users] Mailman browswer question - initial set up
Thanks for the clarification on who should subscribe to the side list. As far as my apached not being in the same group as mailman - maybe I'm misunderstanding, but here's a quote from Step 4 of the install doc. "You want to be very sure that the user id under which your CGI scripts run (I took that to mean apached is that wrong?) is *not* in the 'mailman' group you created above, otherwise private archives will be accessible to anyone." -Original Message- From: Brad Knowles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 25, 2004 12:18 PM To: Poythress, Lynn Cc: Brad Knowles; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Mailman-Users] Mailman browswer question - initial set up At 9:39 AM -0700 2004-06-25, Poythress, Lynn wrote: > o My apached (apache daemon) id is NOT in the same group as my mailman > id.

RE: [Mailman-Users] Mailman browswer question - initial set up
Brad, Thanks for the reply. I 'think' I set up the web server configuration. o In Step 4 of the Install document I added the ScriptAlias to my apache httpd.conf file. o My apached (apache daemon) id is NOT in the same group as my mailman id. o I copied my mailman icons (there was only one - gnu-tiny-head) to my apache icons directory. o I have decided for the time being to take the defaults and not add anything to the mm_cfg.py file o I added the alias for pipermail to my apache httpd.conf file o We're not doing internationalization - so I skipped that step. o I stopped and started my apache server o I followed the instructions to create the site-wide mailing list o I ran config_list to configure the site list - I took all the defaults o How do I subscribe myself to the site list? I assume that means root? o I've set up the crontab entries o I've started the mailman qrunner daemon Please tell me what I've left out - I can't figure it out! I'm pretty sure it's something simple and I'm just can't see the forest for the trees. Thanks for any insight you may have.

It sounds like you haven't finished the web server configuration to specify where the mailman stuff is stored. Go back to step 4 of the INSTALL document.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman browswer question - initial set up
Hello, I'm trying to install Mailman 2.1.4 on an HP-UX 11.00 machine. I'm using Apache 1.3.19. I'm using the default URL set up in the Defaults.py - which is our machine name 'my.host.name.edu'. I haven't added anything to the mm_cfg.py file. I created the site list (at least I think I did, where is that stored, anyway?). When I'm on my web browser (IE) and I type http://my.host.name.edu:5556 - it brings up the generic Apache web page (5556 is our Apache port). Now, what do I type to bring up the Mailman page? If I type http://my.host.name.edu/mailman - I get 'Cannot display page' and at the bottom it says 'Cannot find server or DNS error'. What am I doing wrong? I'm not that familiar with list servers or web servers. I've just been told to install Mailman - so far, it's been quite an ordeal! Definitely a learning experience!

[Mailman-Users] Installation - Admin interface question
Hello, I'm trying to install Mailman 2.1.4 on an HP-UX 11.00 machine. I think I've done everything correctly, but not being that familiar with list servers or web interfaces in general, I've gotten to the point where I'm stumped. Maybe someone can help. I'm in Step 4 (Final System Setup) of the installation doc. I've created the site-wide mailing list. I've browsed the sitelist.cfg file and decided for the time being just to accept the defaults. The next step is to subscribe myself to the site list - exactly how do I do that? It says to use the admin interface - but how do I get to it? If someone can either point me to some doc. that explains this, or explain it to me, I'd be most grateful! Let me know if you need more info. They are probably basic questions, but I'd appreciate any help I can get.

[Mailman-Users] No module named Japanese
Hi, I'm a new subscriber and am having a problem installing Mailman 2.1.4. I am trying to install it on HP-UX 11.00. I was able to download Python 2.3.3 from HP's porting site. I was able to successfully run 'configure' for Mailman. When I try and run 'make install' I get an error message. I'm not sure if I should concern myself with it, since it's about a Japanese module. Listed below is the message. Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/update", line 45, in ? import paths File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/paths.py", line 55, in ? import japanese ImportError: No module named japanese *** Error exit code 1 Stop. Can I still continue? Will Mailman still run? Do I care about this Japanese module? I did look in the archives and found a few similar questions, but wasn't sure what I should do. I contacted the Python help group and they seemed to think that the HP porting site "seems to imply that all of Python is included in the package." Does that mean I need to install the 'developer's package'? I don't get it, why would all the pieces necessary NOT be there? Thanks for any insight you can give me.
