Re: [Mailman-Users] Sendmail getting bum rap...
...if I need a Ph.D. and five feet of shelf space for the manuals required to make it run, I don't want it on my network... That's what separates the system engineers from the skr1pt k1d33s. ;-) I don't like needing 30 books just to make a program work, but most of the time that isn't required. However anytime you start talking about advanced-to-expert level tweaking of something, the reference library seems to pile up quickly. (I do have the Wall of Cisco, a ridiculous amount of those dark blue books dedicated to routing and switching in mundane detail...) - Ralph -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
Re: [Mailman-Users] web interface not working...
Apache is run under 'httpd/httpd' (user/group). I compiled mailman using the --with-cgi-gid=httpd as I thought it was nobody at first and got 'expected GID xx, got GID xx' errors when viewing the pages. I think it's running with the right GID now however... - Ralph At 10:30 AM 10/13/2001 -0400, Jon Carnes wrote: You might want to add the user nobody (or whatever you use to run Apache) to the group mailman.

[Mailman-Users] web interface not working...
Ok, quick system info: Server is a Cobalt Raq3i running Linux (glibc). Python is version 2.0.1. Other info, the mailman home directory is '/usr/local/mailman'. Scriptalias and other apache config was done per the docs. When I view the page for the list (creatively titled in this case) at the following URL, I get the message below it: http://xyz.xyz.com/mailman/admin/pissoff (domain changed since this is an open list) Bug in Mailman version 2.0.6 We're sorry, we hit a bug! Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs. Now, the mailman logs don't show anything. However the httpd error log shows the following output (below), which makes me think there is some kind of permission thing going on. I compiled with the proper mail-gid and cgi-gid bits as far as I know... Does anyone have an idea as to what might be causing this? (I searched in vain in the archives, but may have missed something...) And I did RTFM, didn't see anything like this in there. Thanks!
