I did read the FAQ, but somehow managed to miss those entries. I was bit 
by the redirect problem. Thanks for the pointers!

[Mailman-Users] Web interface not working

[Johnny Dahlén]

Hi
I have set up mailman on gentoo Linux and can't get the web interface 
working. The cgi-scripts are running as reading information works ok, ie 
I can log in, list subscribers, view all settings. But update doesn't 
work. I change a setting, press submit, but the change doesn't show. I 
can see no messenges in any of the logs as to what went wrong.

The system is running Mailman 2.1.5-r2, Gentoo 1.4.6, Apache 2.0.50.
Any pointers?
/Johnny

[Mailman-Users] ? web interface not working

[Kelemen Zoltan]

Hi. I installed mailman 2.0.8. on RedHat 7.2 with apache, and everything's fine, 
Mailman is running without problems, except that the web interface does not work- it's 
there, I can see it, but if I fill out ANY mailman form (incl. passwords for admin 
pages, user-info updates etc...), the next page (wich should 'respond' to the form ) 
acts like if it hasn't gotten anything from the previous form...

it this sounds a bit confusing, try it yourselves: 
http://www.kmdsz.ro/mailman/listinfo/teszt
and try to subscribe for example. It will (probably) tell you that you must supply an 
email address and a password whatever you entered (or not) there...

Actually, it doesn't work the way it's supposed to work... but after I took a look at 
a page's source, and then tried to access the URL of the "action" of the form, with 
all the variables as a GET query , it works...

Example: instead of entering the password 'teszt' in the proper 'box' on 
http://www.kmdsz.ro/mailman/admin/teszt I've written in the locator bar the address: 
http://www.kmdsz.ro/mailman/admin/teszt?adminpw=teszt 

anybody have a clue?

 best regards,
   zOLtaN

Apache is run under 'httpd/httpd' (user/group).  I compiled mailman using 
the --with-cgi-gid=httpd as I thought it was nobody at first and got 
'expected GID xx, got GID xx' errors when viewing the pages.  I think it's 
running with the right GID now however...

You might want to add the user "nobody" (or whatever you use to run Apache) 
to the group "mailman".  Then make sure that the group mailman can write to 
that dir and those files.

Permissions on the logs dir are admin:mailman.  (admin was the acct used to 
install the program.)  Permissions on the error logfile are mailman:mailman 
-- this seems like it would work, yes?  Both the dir and file are U+G 
writeable.

Oh, sorry for the HTML on the previous post.  Didn't think that coped over...

Yes, certainly.  So surely the permissions on /usr/local/mailman/logs/error
are gonna be interesting, yes?

So..um...what are they?

They oughta be group-write mailman, because error lives in
a directory that ought to be group-sticky mailman...

[Mailman-Users] web interface not working...

[Ralph Forsythe]

Ok, quick system info:  Server is a Cobalt Raq3i running Linux
(glibc).  Python is version 2.0.1.  Other info, the mailman
home directory is '/usr/local/mailman'.  Scriptalias and other
apache config was done per the docs.
When I view the page for the list (creatively titled in this case) at the
following URL, I get the message below it:

http://xyz.xyz.com/mailman/admin/pissoff  
(domain changed since this is an open list)
Bug in Mailman version 2.0.6
We're sorry, we hit a bug!
Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of
traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but
the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs. 

Now, the mailman logs don't show anything.  However the httpd error
log shows the following output (below), which makes me think there is
some kind of permission thing going on.  I compiled with the proper
mail-gid and cgi-gid bits as far as I know...  Does anyone have an
idea as to what might be causing this?  (I searched in vain in the
archives, but may have missed something...)  And I did RTFM, didn't
see anything like this in there.  Thanks!
