[Mailman-Users] Can't run qrunner because of permissions problem
Hello, Because I was having so much difficulty with my old, established Mailman installation on one of our Suns, I decided to try installing Mailman on a different machine to see if I get better results there. I've installed the latest version of Mailman but when I try running mailmanctl to start up the qrunner, I get the following message: Traceback (most recent call last): File bin/mailmanctl, line 547, in ? main() File bin/mailmanctl, line 410, in main fp = open(mm_cfg.PIDFILE, 'w') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/mailman/data/master-qrunner.pid' I've checked the permissions with check_perms and there are no permissions problems indicated. Anybody have any idea what is going on here?

Thanks for you response, Mark. However, I've tried running mailmanctl both as root and as mailman and it still fails with the permission denied error on the pid file. So now I'm wondering if there is some kind of incompatibility between the new version of Mailman and Solaris 8? We have run Mailman 2.1.2 successfully on Solaris 8 before, but we recently upgraded to 2.1.5. If anybody has any further suggestions for things to try, I'd appreciate hearing them. Thanks, Eric The user that ran bin/mailmanctl does not have permission to create and/or write to the file '/usr/local/mailman/data/master-qrunner.pid'. the bin/* scripts are normally not setgid which means you have to run bin/mailmanctl as a user (e.g. mailman) that has permission. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Let's start with the basics, what are the owner and group for the pid file which cannot be modified? If they are not mm_cfg.MAILMAN_GROUP, mm_cfg.MAILMAN_USER then remove the file manually because most likely someone during initial testing/setup ran it in some other way. You should then be fine. Do verify the values of mm_cfg.MAILMAN_GROUP, mm_cfg.MAILMAN_USER. -- John Dennis [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
