Public bug reported: I just upgraded to 2.1.14 from 2.1.12. When trying to login to the admin interface for a list, Mailman crashes and I get a "bug" message in the browser. The Mailman error log contains this: ... admin(24739): PYTHONPATH: /opt/mailman admin(24739): SCRIPT_FILENAME: /opt/mailman/cgi-bin/admin admin(24739): SERVER_ADMIN: [edited out] admin(24739): HTTP_HOST: [edited out] admin(24739): HTTPS: on admin(24739): HTTP_CONNECTION: keep-alive admin(24739): HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL: max-age=0 admin(24739): REQUEST_URI: /mailman/admin/[edited out] admin(24739): HTTP_ACCEPT: application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 admin(24739): GATEWAY_INTERFACE: CGI/1.1 admin(24739): REMOTE_PORT: 36978 admin(24739): HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE: en-us admin(24739): CONTENT_TYPE: application/x-www-form-urlencoded admin(24739): HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING: gzip, deflate admin(24739): UNIQUE_ID: TJuulolSrxMAAGCeOtwAAAAA Sep 23 12:47:11 2010 admin(24744): @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ admin(24744): [----- Mailman Version: 2.1.14 -----] admin(24744): [----- Traceback ------] admin(24744): Traceback (most recent call last): admin(24744): File "/opt/mailman/scripts/driver", line 112, in run_main admin(24744): main() admin(24744): File "/opt/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 175, in main admin(24744): change_options(mlist, category, subcat, cgidata, doc) admin(24744): File "/opt/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 1299, in change_options admin(24744): gui.handleForm(mlist, category, subcat, cgidata, doc) admin(24744): File "/opt/mailman/Mailman/Gui/GUIBase.py", line 144, in handleForm admin(24744): for item in self.GetConfigInfo(mlist, category, subcat): admin(24744): File "/opt/mailman/Mailman/Gui/General.py", line 418, in GetConfigInfo admin(24744): if mm_cfg.ALLOW_SENDER_OVERRIDES: admin(24744): AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ALLOW_SENDER_OVERRIDES' admin(24744): [----- Python Information -----] admin(24744): sys.version = 2.4.4 (#1, Jan 9 2007, 23:31:33) [C] admin(24744): sys.executable = /usr/bin/python admin(24744): sys.prefix = /usr admin(24744): sys.exec_prefix = /usr admin(24744): sys.path = ['/opt/mailman/pythonlib', '/opt/mailman', '/opt/mailman/scripts', '/opt/mailman', '/usr/lib/python24.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.4/', '/usr/lib/python2.4/plat-sunos5', '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages'] admin(24744): sys.platform = sunos5 ... By editing the /Mailman/Gui/General.py file (line 418) and removing the offending section, I'm able to login to and use the admin area.
