import paths error
by Tom Hallewell 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

I am trying to get mailman set up under Red Hat 5.1, running Python 1.5.1 and keep getting the following message: Traceback (innermost last): File "bin/mmsitepass", line 26, in ? import paths ImportError: No module named paths whenever I try running either /bin/mmsitepass or /bin/newlist Python will not "import paths" on its own either. Am I missing a module or the whole point? : ) Tom Hallewell Radio Free Asia

Re: [Mailman-Users] Sequence numbers

I've just installed mailman 1.0.b6. No problems there. I started off by making a test list and I'm in the process of poking about the admin interface when I notice that a lot of options want you to refer to various details - the links just take you back to the admin page via the password page. Are the details part of the documentation on the TODO list, or is something genuinely wrong? At any rate, the details that I'm interested in are: Introductory description: what tags can I use? what other behaviour do I need to know about? Poster or List: I assume that picking poster means that the list won't munge the reply to field (this is a good thing), but is it smart enough to avoid sending you mail twice if you are on the list _and_ in the To:/CC:/BCC: fields? Number of outgoing connections: I presume this means connections to the SMTP server? John.

Good Barry, Python 1.5.1 has the getpass module so I could begin to work on mailman (not so fast, I've many many things to do...) >Darn. getpass.py wasn't added to Python until 1.5.1.

Not a bug however; perhaps the only thing for you to do will be to announce on the package that Python release should be 1.5.1 or more recent (and not 1.5 as written)... Best regards... and thanks for your work! Roberto

Much much better error logging and tracebacks, human readable configs, faster, actively supported, responsive author (see mailing list archives) etc etc etc. Good stuff.

Hi - Here's an archived mailing list message that explains how to solve the problem. I had to put the <Directory> section in access.conf, but other than that it worked fine. http://www.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/1998-November/000173.html Good luck, Miles -- Miles Clark mclark(a)outbackinc.com OutBack Resource Group Inc. http://www.OutBackInc.com

new install problems
by John Price 12 Jan '99

12 Jan '99

I'm running apache, and I can't seem to get the mailman web page working. I ran the ./configure, make, and make install, but it's not working. I also added the suggested aliases to the apache config file. mailman is at "/home/mailman". Do I have to create a link to that directory from the /home/httpd/html directory? Please help.

No. The Alias lines in the apache config effectively do that. == -- Padraic Renaghan <padraic(a)renaghan.com> _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
