[Mailman-Users] Installation problem - Korean module

2008-01-21 Thread henzef
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.

I know that in Ubuntu/Debian packages this pythonlib has been deleted
(in error) due to a problem that one person had in the past.
I built my Ubuntu package from the Mailman-supplied 2.1.9 source,
so I have this library on my system.  Is this pythonlib library on
your system?

[Mailman-Users] Installation problem: 404 Errors

2006-08-03 Thread Dan Zaz

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

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.

Best,
Ryan

Did you search the FAQ?  The archives?  Did you search for things

  The virtual host is set up ok on the server config. files, to the best of

No.

	In large part, because that's not what is shipped by default by 
most vendors.

  And surely most mailman users are in the
 same situation that I'm in - I don't have a real internet connection,

	Actually, that's a pretty rare configuration, based on what I've 
seen in the past.  Had it been more common, others would have run 
into this problem before, the documentation would have been 
corrected, and you would not have had these problems yourself.

 But *none* of this is in the installation instructions, unless I've
 missed something.
	Nope, it's not in the documentation.  Your problem with suEXEC is 
only the second time I've ever heard this feature mentioned, and you 
may be the first person I've heard of that has resolved the issues 
and documented them to this degree.

And, this isn't my day job, and I'm worried that
 this isn't secure. Is it a good idea to run mailman's scripts with
 Apache's permissions?
Dunno.  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?
	If you can give us suitable instructions to include (preferably 
as a patch to the INSTALL document), we should be able to get that 
updated before 2.1.6-RELEASE is cut.

Well, I'll be  *!?**!!, this (almost) got it working; thanks. It turned 
out to be a litle more complicated...

and I rely on someone else's virtual server, on which I don't get a root

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. Is it a good idea to run mailman's scripts with Apache's 
permissions?

[Mailman-Users] Installation problem: 500 internal server error

2005-04-27 Thread RT
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'.

Many thanks -
RT

With a normal installation, you should be visiting

[Mailman-Users] Installation problem

2004-03-05 Thread Anders Wegge Jakobsen
I have installed mailman 2.1.2 on a Fedora Core 1 system, and followed
the instructions i INSTALL.REDHAT.

 However, I seem to have a problem with the 'mailman' mailing
list. First, it appears as a public list, and second, I cannot access
the administrative web interface for this list. When trying to access
http://localhost/mailman/admin/mailman, the browser is redirected to
the list overview http://localhost/mailman/listinfo.

 Does anybody have an idea about what can be wrong and/or where to
look for error messages? I cnnot find anything in /var/log/mailman/*.

Re: [Mailman-Users] installation problem

2004-03-03 Thread Jeetendra Mirchandani

ok, i got a work arround, but not able to create lists

i installed v2.1.4 atleast 5 times, to finally get it working

it showed a 404 not found error.
i had installed it in /home/mailman

but i found out from http logs that it was searching for
/var/mailman/cgi-bin

so now i created a link to /home/mailman as /var/mailman

now i created the first list mailman with a password say 'abcd'

then configured it with the default template

now i create a sitewide passwd using bin/mmsitepass say 'xyz'

now i can login at myserver.com/mailman/admin/mailman with both the
passwords


then i use the info in README to create a test list

i go to myserver.com/mailman/create

it shows me a form
i try to create lists, using both the above password, with same and
different emailaddresses as that of mailman owner, but it gives me an
error saying
Error: You are not authorized to create new mailing lists

though i am allowed to create a list using bin/newlist

now what should i do?

 See the FAQ.  You really need to provide much more information - at
 least the version of mailman you are running and how it was installed,
 and what OS you are running.  Without those basics, most folks will
 simply write you off as un-helpable.

 If you also include the basic troubleshooting steps that you have
 already gone through, then folks will actually think you are helpable
 and will try to give you clues.

 Where did you install Mailman? Is it installed in /home/mailman and does
 /home/mailman/cgi-bin/ in fact exist?

 Good Luck with your Second posting for help

[Mailman-Users] Installation problem /mailman/create inaccessible...

2004-02-02 Thread Hsiao-lung Chang
Hi, first time using mailman.

I'm getting 404 error when attempting to access /mailman/create for the
first time.
I'm using OpenBSD 3.4 and mailman-2.1.2p0.tgz package.
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?

Thanks.

The weird thing is, /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/mailbox.py does not exist on my system.

I can't get it to import the mailbox.py from the python2.2 directory.

The problem is that the installation process cannot find a C language 
compiler which will be subsequently needed to run the make install.

If you have a C compiler installed then it may be that it cannot be found 
unless you add the path to it to the PATH environment variable of the user 
you are funning configure as.

Or it may be you need to install the C compiler.

If you need more help then you should identify the type and version of 
Unix-like OS you are running when posting the request for that help.

Re: [Mailman-Users] installation problem

2003-02-07 Thread Matthew Davis
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.

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 5 of

I have the line Include conf/httpd-mailman.conp in my httpd.conf. I stuck

[Mailman-Users] Installation problem

2002-09-17 Thread Leonardo R. Nunes

Hi, I've installed the Mailman in my linux server (RedHat 7.2) using the RPM
mailman-2.0.13-4.rpm.
I followed the site's instructions
(http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/install-start.html ) , except the parts
about installing by gnu automatic installation.


I'm getting the following errors when accessing my Mailman web pages:

Mailman CGI error!!!
This entry is being stored in your syslog:
Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 51, GOT gid 48.  (Reconfigure to take
48?)




How can I change the gid to 48 instead of 51 ?

Thank you.

[Mailman-Users] Installation problem again

2002-04-16 Thread Eric Evans

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.

Thanks a lot,
Eric

[Mailman-Users] Installation problem

2002-04-15 Thread Eric Evans

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.  I 
have created a user called mailman, and a group called mailman.  The 
mailman user is listed in the local passwd file, i.e. /etc/passwd/.  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... Traceback (most recent call last):
   File conftest.py, line 1, in ?
 import pwd, string
ImportError: No module named pwd
cat: cannot open conftest.out

configure: error:
* No mailman user found!
* Your system must have a mailman user defined

This is puzzling because I most definitely do have a mailman user 
defined.  Can anyone help me figure out what the problem is here?  Thanks 
very much.

it sounds to me like you have an old version of python.
get 2.2 from www.python.org, and see if that fixes your problems..

it sounds to me like you have an old version of python.
get 2.2 from www.python.org, and see if that fixes your problems..

Subject: [Mailman-Users] Installation problem


  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.  I
  have created a user called mailman, and a group called mailman.  The
  mailman user is listed in the local passwd file, i.e. /etc/passwd/.
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... Traceback (most recent call last):
 File conftest.py, line 1, in ?
   import pwd, string
  ImportError: No module named pwd
  cat: cannot open conftest.out
 
  configure: error:
  * No mailman user found!
  * Your system must have a mailman user defined
 
  This is puzzling because I most definitely do have a mailman user
  defined.  Can anyone help me figure out what the problem is here?
Thanks
  very much.
 
  Best wishes,

Did you read the docs? 

snip

2. Running configure

TAKE SPECIAL NOTE OF THE --with-mail-gid AND --with-cgi-gid
OPTIONS BELOW.  YOU WILL PROBABLY NEED TO USE THESE!
/snip

What's wrong with this picture? 

Perhaps you want --with-cgi-gid=12 not --with-gid=12

Welcome!

 , and i've searched through the archives but only seen

This is arguably the most FAQ on this software.  Please search the archives 
again using the terms wanted got reconfigure and you'll see plenty of 
solutions.

check:
http://search.python.org  (check mailing list archives only)
http://www.list.org/faq.html
http://www.list.org/install-config.html
for more info.

 whenever i send a post to test, i get the following errors:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Command died with status 2:
 /home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test. Command output: Failure to
 exec
 script. WANTED gid 12, GOT gid 65534.  (Reconfigure to take 65534?)

 i configure mailman using the following

 # ./configure --with-cgi-gid=mail --with-gid=12

 with gid 12 = mail

Off the top of my head it appears as though you are calling configure with 
the wrong parameters.

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.

Good Luck,

- Ben
