b6 in and working...except archive access :(
Hey all..I just got b6 in, and after some finangling with the cgi-gid (for some reason, I have to tell it the number 99 instead of the word nobody (a look in /etc/group confirms that nobody == 99)..not sure what the story is with that, but it works now, so I'm not too worried)
Anyway, everything seems to be working fine...except accessing the archives. I was upgrading from b5, so I ran 'make update' and it converted everything all fine and dandy. When I try to link to a list's archives (public archives; don't have any private ones set up), I get
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /pipermail/tm on this server.
I was sure to add the ScriptAlias line to Apache's srm.conf file, so that's there. The permissions on the /home/mailman/archives/ dirs look like:
[root@chimera archives]# ls -l total 2 drwxrws--x 10 root mailman 1024 Nov 7 20:06 private drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 1024 Nov 7 20:06 public [root@chimera archives]#
Any ideas? Other than this, all seems kosher!

You probably need to set the option FollowSymlinks in the web server for the /home/mailman/archives/public dirctory. In apache, this look slike this:
Alias /pipermail $prefix/archvies/public
<Directory $prefix/archives/public> Options FollowSymLinks </Directory>

Huh. I added
Alias /pipermail/ /home/mailman/archvies/public/
to the srm.conf file
and then added
# below added 11.07.98 by CJK for mailman 1.0b6 <Directory /home/mailman/archives/public> Options FollowSymLinks </Directory>
to access.conf and restarted httpd and got:
Not Found
The requested URL /pipermail/tm was not found on this server.
Note: I noticed that both Alias /pipermail/ /home/mailman/archives/public/ and ScriptAlias /pipermail/ /home/mailman/archives/public/ are declared in srm.conf. Is that ok?

There should be no scriptalias for the public archives.
that's probably the problem, though if it still doesn't work, could you send me a listing of /home/mailman/archives/public?
