Problems with member_posting_only setting....
by Pug Bainter April 26, 2001

April 26, 2001

Good Morning, I am trying to use the config_list script to change things for different mailing lists. Unfortunately one thing I can't seem to change is member_post_only. It keeps telling me: attribute "member_post_only" ignored My new config input looks like: member_post_only = 1 And the setting in the file is 0. Any ideas? Ciao, -- Pug Bainter | AMD, Inc.

All those in favor of changing this error message to read something like: Mailman CGI error!!! Mailman was compiled to use GID 48, but the web server is running as GID 99. You must run ./configure again --with-cgi-gid=99, as described in the INSTALL document that came with this distribution, and recompile. raise your hand. Anyway, reword it so it's unmistakable what the problem is. - H >Ok..

The best way to search through the archives.
by Panagiotis Malakoudis April 26, 2001

April 26, 2001

I need some advice. What do you think is the best way to search through the archives? I see a lot of people using htdig but if you want to secure the archives and use many mailing lists then the additional administration weight is big. A colleague of mine suggested that we add to all the mailing lists an imap account as a member and then use third party web based software to searchg through each mailbox. That sounds quite nice and you same all the time and space that htdig uses to create the wordlist files. On the other hand htdig should be faster. Any suggestions? -- Panagiotis Malakoudis - Systems Administrator Technical Division Space Hellas Group of Companies Voice: +30 1 6504100

You can run your web server (Apache, ...) using gid 48 For Apache : # grep group httpd.conf Group web and is /etc/group, number for web is 48. The message mailman sent you is explicit : it is configured to want GID 48, but the http daemon ran with GID 99. You have to set the same GID.

mailman question
by WebMaster April 26, 2001

April 26, 2001

Ok.. This probably makes total sense, but yet I am unable to fix this. If it wanted 48 and got 99 ... why am i suppose to reconfig for 99?? Mailman CGI error!!! The expected gid of the Mailman CGI wrapper did not match the gid as set by the Web server. Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 48, GOT gid 99. (Reconfigure to take 99?)
