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!

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.

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.

[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!
