[Mailman-Users] Installation problem - Korean module
Hello, i have got an old, but special problem with the installation of mailman. I found older mails on this list of it, but there was no solution for. I tried to install the mailman on the uni server with Solaris 10 and the recommended python 2.4.4. After configure, make, make install I receive the following error Traceback (most recent call last): File bin/update, line 46, in ? import paths File /usr/local/mailman/bin/paths.py, line 60, in ? import korean ImportError: No module named korean gmake: *** [update] Error 1 How can I fix it? The python libs for Korean should be included in python versions since 2.4 and I also try to manually install the cjkcodecs for python, without any success. Does someone has an idea? I heard of an fixed makefile, but do not know where to get. Another way is deactivating the korean module. Is that possible? I do not found anything in the documentation. Any command or so. The older discussion can be found here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-September/058397.html I am looking forward to hear from you. -- 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

[Mailman-Users] Installation problem: 404 Errors
Dear list, I'm having major problems installing Mailman on my SuExec enabled server. I have followed pertinent instructions regarding installation in this environment, but cannot seem to access any mailman pages; all I get is 404 Not Found errors. The virtual host is set up ok on the server config. files, to the best of my knowledge, as are the permissions. Is there a specific set of steps I could take to help me diagnose exactly where this problem is rooted? I'm a Linux novice, and mailman is my first application installation, so this is likely a very basic error on my part. I'm wondering if it might be a server issue re. SuExec, rather than with mailman per se. When I command: suexec -V, I get: -D AP_DOC_ROOT=/var/www. However, this is not my web doc path, which is /home/dir1/dir2/html I installed mailman within the suexec path (as mentioned in the set of instructions I followed), at /var/www/mailman Could this be at the root of the issue? And if so, would installing mailman within the web doc path work vis-a-vis SuExec? Any help greatly appreciated.. Dan _ Windows Live Messenger has arrived.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Installation problem: 404 Errors
Yep, gotta stick it in /var/www. Or, configure Apache to use a different directory as it's documentroot...but, seeing as how you're a LInux novice, I'd stick with putting things in /var/www for now.

Not sure that anyone else has ever tried to do this with Mailman. How does everyone else manage to install this? With suEXEC in your kind of configuration? I don't know that anyone else has ever managed to do that. Would someone mind updating INSTALL?

After following both your instructions, I got a web page, but with this error: Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the CGI wrapper script to be executed as group web, but the system's web server executed the CGI script as group mailman. Try tweaking the web server to run the script as group web, or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-cgi-gid=mailman'. Ok, I had configured with '--with-cgi-gid=web', as per INSTALL (Apache runs as 'web'). So Apache suEXEC'ed the scripts as 'mailman', so defeating the configuration option. As a fix/hack, I changed the owner/group of everything in cgi-bin to web/web, to prevent Apache suEXEC'ing. This got me further; as far as problem 2, in fact. Problem 2: Apache now runs the scripts as 'web', which is what mailman expects, but I now get another problem: mailman claims to hit an internal bug. At the end of the traceback I get: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/home/mailman/mailman-2.1.5/logs/error' Ok, mailman is running as web and wants to write into a directory owned by mailman, and can't. So I run /usr/sbin/usermod -G admin, mailman web And everything springs into life; I can now get listinfo and admin pages, complete with logos. But *none* of this is in the installation instructions, unless I've missed something. And, this isn't my day job, and I'm worried that this isn't secure.

[Mailman-Users] Installation problem: 500 internal server error
Apologies for posting an installation problem... :( I've just installed mailman, and am having a couple of problems. The first is that http://dom.ain/mailman/ returns '403 forbidden', and any other page (ie. http://dom.ain/create) returns '500 internal server error'. The INSTALL file suggests that this could be a GID/UID problem, but this doesn't seem very likely and I'm reluctant to reinstall (yet). There's nothing relevant in either /var/log (apart from the Apache logs, below), or in $prefix/logs/error. There's nothing in Apache's 'error_log', but 'cgi.log' has some interesting entries: [2005-04-27 11:07:05]: uid: (mailman/mailman) gid: (mailman/mailman) cmd: create [2005-04-27 11:07:05]: directory is writable by others: (/usr/local/home/mailman/mailman-2.1.5/cgi-bin) I installed as user/grp mailman/mailman, and 'check_perms' reports no problems. The cgi-bin directory in the message above is not actually 'writable by others'; its permissions are 'drwxrwsr-x'. I tried 'chmod o+w', but this made no difference (and the message in cgi.log remained the same). Any ideas? One potential problem is that I've installed this on a virtual server on which I don't have root permissions. I get an 'admin' login which has various root-like capabilities, and I think I've probably completed the root parts of the installation correctly, but I can't be sure. The server is running Linux, but I don't think it's a standard distribution; 'uname -a' returns 'Linux [mydomain] 2.4.29-hs-1'.

The httpd process is running as www, what create is expecting. But it doesn't even seem like its able to find the file? Here's a diff between the original httpd.conf and the modified for Mailman. Am I missing anything else?

Re: [Mailman-Users] installation problem
It might be possiable that you have 2 different installations of python? And root is using the correct version. The traceback shows its using /usr/local/bin/python and root might be using another binary. As root figure out what python binary it's using. # which python And you need to reconfigure mailman to use that python installation. * Stoyan Angelov ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: hello all, i have just installed Mailman 2.1 for the first time and i have the following problem. i followed the instructions in the INSTALL file and everything went ok to the point i had to create my first maillist. accessing the www.mysite.org/mailman/create gives me the following error: ImportError: No module named time. i checked my python installation and when i am logged as root doing: [root@myhost:/]#python Python 2.2.2 (#1, Feb 6 2003, 23:57:56) [GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)] on sunos5 Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information. import time works as root... if i su - mailman and run python it fails like this: [mailman@myhost:~]$python Python 2.2.2 (#1, Feb 6 2003, 23:57:56) [GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)] on sunos5 Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information. import time Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in ?

[Mailman-Users] Installation problem again
Hi, I'm still unable to install Mailman, and as someone pointed out to me yesterday, it is because of a Python problem. When I run configure, a module called conftest.py tries to import a module called pwd, which unfortunately is not present, anywhere. Does anyone know where this mysterious pwd.py file comes from, or where it normally resides? It does not appear to be a part of the standard Python 2.2 installation.

Hi, I have not been able to install Mailman, and I'm hoping someone out there may be able to offer some helpful advice. Configuration: I'm on a Sun workstation with Solaris 8, and running NIS.

The mailman home directory is /usersm/mailman, and it is owned by user mailman. The setgid bit is set on this directory. I am logged in as user mailman when I try to run the installation. The problem is that when I run ./configure --prefix=/usersm/mailman, it fails with the following error messages: checking for --with-username... mailman checking for mailman UID...

First of all, I don't believe that --with-gid is an option. So sayeth grep -e '--with-gid' configure Secondly, It's asking you to reconfigure it --with-mail-gid=65534. You aren't specifying --with-mail-gid at all. If this option is not specified configure is supposed to pick whichever is specified first of the following gid's: other, mail, daemon do any of these match gid 65534 on your system? It looks as though Postfix thinks one of them does. Ternary, Once you get this fixed you'll probably have problems accessing the web interfaces because you've specified --with-cgi-gid=mail. This is basically telling configure that your web server runs as gid mail. Unless you've made some changes it shouldn't be. By default configure is supposed to look for www, www-data, or nobody as the gid to run the web scripts as, choosing whichever it finds first. Make sure that your installation of Apache is using one of these group names or specify the correct one. I had to use --with-cgi-gid=apache to get mine to work.
