Hi Marc, Did you add the following line to your srm.conf file (for apache): ScriptAlias /mailman/ /var/home/mailman/cgi-bin/ /var/home/mailman/cgi-bin/ is wherever you installed Mailman. Also did you put the following in your access.conf file (again for apache): <Directory /var/home/mailman/cgi-bin> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI </Directory> If you missed either, you won't be able to view the web frontend.

Mailman not creating HTML pages
by Mark Starr Jan. 27, 2000

Jan. 27, 2000

After working all morning, I successfully created a list, and can post to it, etc. However, there are no webpages for the list (in home/httpd/html/mailman) (it didn't even create the directory) How do I create these things, or why isn't mailman creating them? I created a mailman dir with proper permissions, but still mailman won't put any html files in there... is there a script I'm suppose to run, or [root@spgo Mailman]# cd /home/httpd/html/mailman [root@spgo mailman]# ls -la total 8 … [View More]

Setting up umbrella lists??
by Scott Kinnane-Systems Support Engineer PGS SPS Perth Jan. 27, 2000

Jan. 27, 2000

Hi all, Just trying to do something simple - set up an umbrella list. There is an option umbrella_list which needs to be set AFAIK to make it an umbrella list. Is this in the web interface under Mailman 1.0 somewhere, or is it only available for 1.1?? Also, does anyone have an ETA for 1.2? Just wondering as if its not too far down the track, then I might skip upgrading to 1.1 as we're not experiencing any probs at all. To all the developers - excellent job! scott

Archive Pages HTML...
by Christine Davis Jan. 27, 2000

Jan. 27, 2000

I've changed the HTML for the archive pages, but as far as I can tell, the changes aren't reflected in the pages that are generated. (Mostly just added stylesheet stuff, which worked fine for the other pages) Cheers, Christine.

Virtual Email Hosting with Mailman
by Vernors Jan. 26, 2000

Jan. 26, 2000

As a followup to my earlier post, this is turning into a virtual nightmare! With some sage advice from a fellow list-member and a bit of research I discovered I could add a redirect command in my .htaccess, so users coming to the web site to config their accounts would be redirected to the server where the list is managed. No need to mess with directories and frames to pull in the page. The only drawback was that the redirect would end up displaying the server's URL in the browser instead … [View More]

Mistaken assumptions and unwanted ridicule
by Ken Manheimer Jan. 26, 2000

Jan. 26, 2000

Upon investigating a bit, it looks like frank tiplett was receiving the mailman-users list via another distribution list which someone else subscribed to mailman users, unknown to (and, clearly, unwanted by) frank. In assuming that frank did what he did not do (and ridiculing him, besides!) you reacted in ways you mistakenly accused him of doing - you needed more facts to jump to those conclusions, and in fact you were wrong. Being mistaken is no sin - but calling names and ridiculing someone,… [View More]

Virtual Email Hosting with Mailman
by Vernors Jan. 25, 2000

Jan. 25, 2000

We have a situation where our main co-lo server (running RH Linux 6.1) runs mailman for our primary website (tenant.net). We want to set up mailman for another one of our web sites (hellskitchen.net -- that resides on a different server in a different location - a virtual website residing on adsight.com, running FBSD). We decided to keep the hellskitchen on its web server, but move its mail operations over to our tenant.net server. We changed the hellskitchen MX record to point to tenant.… [View More]net, changed sendmail.cw, virtusertable, genericstable and aliases to reflect this change. We now receive Hellskitchen email on the TenantNet server and use TenantNet's sendmail to send outgoing mail. Seems to work OK. We also created a user "kitchen" to receive the hellskitchen.net email and used CHFN to help the mail client. Seems to work OK. Except for the headers that reflect the TenantNet origination, the mail appears to come from and goes to hellskitchen.net. So we set up a HKtest list (we were root when we used newlist), inserted new aliases and added the new aliases to the virtusertable (this was necessary and not really documented well). The problem now appears to be that in setting up a new list, mailman wants to set up the various web URLs to point to tenant.net. http://tenant.net/mailman/admin/hktest (this is OK as it's internal) So here's the problem. The "new list" mail originally gave us: http://tenant.net/mailman/listinfo/hktest Once we changed "Host name this list prefers" to hellskitchen.net and "Base URL for Mailman web interface" to http://hellskitchen.net/mailman/ we then got the following: The Welcome message came from hktest-admin(a)hellskitchen.net http://hellskitchen.net/mailman/listinfo/hktest http://hellskitchen.net/mailman/options/hktest/user@domain.com HKtest-request(a)hellskitchen.net hktest(a)hellskitchen.net (for posting) All the mail addresses seem to work OK, but the web pages do not exist on the hellskitchen.net server -- where I would like to have users access the various pages. Trying a kludge, I created http://hellskitchen.net/mailman/listinfo/hktest/index.html which is a small file pulling in the correct file in a larger frame. <html><head> <title>HKtest Info Page</title></head> <frameset rows="10,*" border="0"> <frame src="header.html" name="header" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"> <frame src="http://tenant.net/mailman/listinfo/hktest" name="content" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="yes"> </frameset> </html> It's not elegant, but it works OK for listinfo and for admin. I suppose it would also work for pipermail. But I can't figure out how to make it work for user config pages. http://hellskitchen.net/mailman/options/hktest/user@domain.com Any thoughts on this dillema? Is there a more simple and elegant solution than a frame pull-in? Your feedback is appreciated. [View Less]
