Re[4]: [Mailman-Users] Problems installing Mailman on RedHat and Apache - Premature End of script headers
Hi Richard and Tokio,
i tried executing admin from the shell as nobody and it did work.
(there was some html-ouput)
So there must be a problem with the apache configuration.
Here are my changes to httpd.conf:
VirtualHost x.x.x.x:80
ServerName xxx.xxx
SuexecUserGroup nobody nobody
DocumentRoot /usr/local/mailman/
ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/
Alias /pipermail/ /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/mailmanhttpd_access.log %h %l %u %t \%r\ %s %b
\%{Referer}i\ \%{User-agent}i\
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/mailmanhttpd_error.log
/VirtualHost
Are there any other settings which are important? i can't find
anything in the installation instructions..
Thanks again..
Ralph

Hi all, We are attempting to install mailman on a solaris 8 box. We installed python via a package from sunfreeware.com and compiled and installed mailman from source.

RE: [Mailman-Users] Problems installing Mailman 2.1b3
As a guess, I would say that you have a routing problem with your MTA (postfix). You might need to setup Postfix so that it allows relaying from 127.0.0.1 (localhost). As to the footer, try sending a text message to the list and see if the footer is included then. I'm guessing again, but you are probably sending HTML email to the list, and the email is constructed so that it stops displaying before the footer text. Hope this helps - Jon Carnes On Wed, 2002-10-16 at 04:02, Benas Adomavicius wrote: Dear Jon, Thanks for your info. This helped immensly. Mailman has installed and is running.

Further more, no evidence of that message is present in the mailman logs either! Very strange, currently I am looking at my postfix logs seeing what happened to that email.

If so, be sure you install the devel package as well, otherwise your Python will not have the distutils package, which is essential for installing Mailman. From-source installs of Python will not have this problem, but it looks like RPM packagers have decided to put distutils in the devel packages. In MM2.1b4, configure will bark loudly if the distutils package isn't available. -Barry -- 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/

Hi Folks, I've been trying for the last day and a bit trying to get Mailman installed, with mixed results. I'm a long term(16 yrs) developer mostly C/C++ Java on Mac and Winedows, but have some old BSD experience. I'm still coming up to speed with all the sys admin bits of Linux, (I used to help admin an old BSD 4.2 box). I'm also new to Python, but it looks pretty simple to pickup. I have a RH 6.2 system with a 2.4 kernel, and Exim as the mailer. Python is 1.5.2. I'm running Apache 1.3.17 with a total of 3 virtual domain(one IP), and I'm running my own DNS for all three such as(names not real); a.com b.org c.net with a.com being the 'host' domain. I've installed mailman, defaulting to /home/mailman and am able to send the mail for the test mailing list, so the mail path works. However I note that the configuration script picks up c.net as the domain name... despite the hostname being a.com, so there's a chance that my DNS configuration isn't quite what mailman wants. I am unable to get to www.a.com/mailman/, and I've pretty scrupulously followed the install instructions. I've tried several different configuration options but to little avail.

In the VirtualHost directive for www.a.com, add a ScriptAlias-directive such as: ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/home/mailman/cgi-bin/" (2) take a look at /home/mailman/Mailman/mm_py.cfg. make sure that "default host name" is set to "a.com" and "default url" is set to http://www.a.com/mailman/ DO NOT FORGET THE TRAILING SLASH for "default url". If you have any problems, look at your webserver logs, they shall help you.. as far as I can tell, if you follow these instructions, there shouldn't be any problems..

[Mailman-Users] problems installing mailman
Hi , I'm trying to install mailman in an SGI running IRIX 6.5 with sendmail and python 2.0. Configuring and installing seems to go without problems. I check permissions runnning bin/chech_perms in /home/mailman and no errors are reported. I Start cron and then create a test list and keep getting error reports from cron sent to my email address. I change the configuration to include several reasonable gids (i.e. the first time I installed I had SYSLOG reports regarding gid and use them to change it with a new installation). But I keep getting similar cron errors (the only difference is that now there no error reports in SYSLOG).
