[Mailman-Users] list of variables

2003-11-24 Thread james . osbourn




I am making some customizations to a list that i am setting up using
mailman-2.1.3 but cannot find a list of all the variables that can be used
when modifying the headers, footers and body of messages that are sent

i have found some in the help and some by looking at the templates, and
there are more available if you enable personalization.  but i do not think
that this is the complete list.  i have also had a scan of the net and of
the mailman archive but have not been able to find a list

if some one has a list it would be very useful


Thanks


James

thanks for the feedback, but what i was really after was a list of
variables like real_name, list_name, host_name etc or user_address,
user_delivered_to, user_password if you have personalization

these are used in the template text files and the headers and footers that
you can enter through the web gui configuration


Thanks

James

 Did you see in mm_cfg.py?

 Also, it is possible:

 bin/config_list -o mylist.txt mylist

 and to look the mylist.txt contents.

 I hope this help,

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman CGI not working

2003-10-24 Thread james . osbourn

i have just been setting up a server and had some similar problems, you
need to check that the group that mailman first matches for running its cgi
scripts is the group  that the apache server is running

by default mailman will check for www then www-data and then nobody (see
install doc), on a redhat machine that i have the www and www-data groups
do not exist but nobody does with id 99, and the default RH9 apache server
runs as group, and user, apache GUID 48

if you have not used the --with-cgi-gid option then you need to use the
User and Group options for apache to set the server to run as nobody or
whatever group mailman first macthes

once you haev done this try a webpage such as
http://yourdomain/mailman/admin, a gotcha that hit me is that just
looking at http://yourdomain/mailman/ will not work as there is not
default script or index page for the server to display and you will
probably get an error

 Hello,

 I'm a newbie, and have just installed mailman on Red Hat 9, with the
 apache web server.  None of it was done with rpm, I downloaded,
 configured and compiled from both apache.org and the mailman site.  I've
 created the 'mailman' list, after having gone through all install docs.
 Mailman's cgi does not work, however.  The documentation said to check
 the apache group setting, which is at the default right now #-1, but I
 have changed it to gid 99, to no avail.  Default cgi group is apparently
 www in mailman, although the username is nobody in apache (gid 99 in
 redhat) for httpd.  How do I get the mailman cgi to work?  I've set the
 scriptalias directive in apache to /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin

 I also tried re-running the configure script using the --with-cgi-id ,
 but no matter what it seems to use www.

 The first mailing from the mailman list went to my email ok, returning
 the link myserver.vcd.hp.com/mailman/admin/mailman, but all that is
 returned is the object not found - the requested URL was not found on
 this server

 Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Mailman-Users] New Mailman Server Setup

2003-10-23 Thread james . osbourn
I have just compiled and installed a copyof mailman-2.1.3 with python-2.2.3
running on a Solaris 8 machine with and apache server

every thing appears to be ok except that when i connect to the
webser/mailman/ i get a 403 forbidden error with the message

You don't have permission to access /mailman/ on this server.

this also appears to happen for the public archives as well, although i
have not created any lists as yet to have any archives

i would like to get this resolved before creating any lists and getting to
far into the configuration of the server

please not that webserver/mailman/listinfo is working ok

my apache configuration is as follows:

ServerRoot /usr/local/apache
PidFile /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.pid
ScoreBoardFile /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.scoreboard
TypesConfig /usr/local/apache/conf/mime.types
IfModule mod_mime_magic.c
MIMEMagicFile /usr/local/apache/conf/magic
/IfModule

ServerName mailman.globalgraphics.com

Port 80

Group www

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm
AccessFileName .htaccess

ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/
Alias /pipermail/ /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/

any help with this will apreciated, i have run check_perms and the
permissions are ok so i do not know what the problem is.  i played with an
earlier version of mailman previously and did not have these problems

Thanks
