Mailman RC2 under Redhat Linux
by Mike Cisar 03 Jul '99

03 Jul '99

I know this has probably been repeated dozens of times on this list, but are there any specific bugs or workarounds that I should be aware of in installing Mailman 1.0rc2 under Redhat Linux 6.0; or any patches or bugfixes post-rc2 that I should be applying so I don't go needlessly pulling out what's left of my hair over problems that have already been addressed by others. There are 2 things that I have noticed, which in my mind do not seem right... created a new list and went to the administrative page, which makes me re-enter my password each and every time I go to a different page. Also, whenever I click on any of the "details" links a 2nd window pops up, in which I am again asked for my password and then presented with another copy of the same page I've been on, rather than a helpfile or information file as I would expect. Thanks in advance, >>>>> Mike <<<<<

RC2 problems with moderation
by Jonathan Bradshaw 03 Jul '99

03 Jul '99

I have some lists which are restricted for non-members posting and certain subject lines. Mailman catches these but when they are approved it only sends them to the digest. The realtime feed never sees them. I'm not sure where in mailman I should look to find out what is happening. I do not see any errors in the logfiles.

password problems on new install
by Andy McClements 02 Jul '99

02 Jul '99

Hi All, I've just installed Mailman 1.0rc2 without any obvious problems. When I create a new list using the newlist script, as per INSTALL Section 5. called "test-list", with my own address as the administrator, I am mailed the instructions, including the password provided to "newlist". However when I go to the admin web interface at http://my.list.server/mailman/admin.cgi/test-list, I am told "Sorry, wrong password. Try again." I've also created a password using "mmsitepass", but this is also rejected. What's happening ? TIA ! Andy McClements London The system is running: RedHat Linux 5.2 gcc 2.7.2.3 Apache 1.3.6 (compiled on this system) Python 1.5.2 (compiled on this system) configured using: $prefix=/usr/local/mailman --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python --with-mail-gid=mail --with-cgi-gid=nobody --with-cgi-ext=.cgi I correctly set the permissions on the $prefix directory. I added to httpd.conf: Alias /pipermail "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public/" <Directory "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options Indexes ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

Hi, I have created a list that send messages in digest form. Now that I have finished testing it, I have cleaned up the archive as outlined in the faq. However, the digest number has not been reset to 1. Does anyone know how I can do this? Darran Carey
