Hi Does anyone know where i can find the manual for mailman which is for the rpm which comes with redhat 9? it doesnt appear to have been put in /usr/share/man/ anywhere. And if there isnt one, is it possible to use the readme files which come with the source installation for general setup? Its mailman 2.1-8 which appears to be installed. thanks Simon

Hi Richard, Thanks for this. I followed the instructions detailed in Operational Information in the install notes and it now had created the indicies. However, mmsearch still fails when I try to conduct a search. Mmsearch reports: Htdgi Archives Access Failure Search failed -12- The messages that I reported last time are still being reported in the syslog. Any ideas what -12- means? Thanks, Tim. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Barrett [mailto:R.Barrett@ftel.co.uk] Sent: 30 … [View More]April 2003 13:51 To: Timothy Arnold; mailman-users(a)python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman/htdig problem At 11:18 30/04/2003, Timothy Arnold wrote: >Hiya, > >I have recently installed mailman 2.1.2 with the relevent htdig patches >and I still cannot get it to work. > >For a given list, the search box is displayed and the configuration >file for the list is generated but the search funtionality doesn't work >- I look in the error log and I find > >Apr 30 10:56:39 2003 (12488) htsearch for list: test5, existatus: 1 Apr >30 10:56:39 2003 (12488) htsearch for list: test5, cause: htsearch, >detail: -12- > >On the archive page, it reports that the search index has yet to be >built - do I need to run nightly_htdig for each list when it is >created? Until nightly_htdig is first run there will be no per-list htdig search indexes for htsearch to use. It is usually a good idea to send an initial message to a list which is being archived, which will cause htdig to be setup for the list (per-list htdig.conf created and search form added to the list's TOC page), and then run nightly_htdig from the command line (as the mailman uid) to generate an initial set of htdig indexes for the list. Just copy the command for running nightly_htdig in the modified mailman crontab generated by the htdig integration patch Bear in mind that, in common with most search engines, htdig does not search the web pages when a user submits a search query; rather some part of the search engine's suite of programs (rundig in the case of htdig) builds search indexes for the material and it is from these indexes that a user's search query is satisfied. That is also why the search form has the date/time indexing was last run for the list embedded in it with the caution that more recent archive material will not be found. btw: this issue is covered in the third paragraph under the heading "Operational Information" in INSTALL.htdig-mm. >Thanks, >Tim. > >-- >Timothy Arnold, Server & Network Infrastructure Support Officer, >Internet Services, >Becta, Coventry, CV4 7JJ, UK Voice: +44 24 7684 7169 >email: timothy.arnold(a)becta.org.uk Fax: +44 24 7641 1418 > > >********************************************************************** >This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and >intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they >are addressed.

Hiya, I have recently installed mailman 2.1.2 with the relevent htdig patches and I still cannot get it to work.

Changes to archive pages
by Paul H Byerly April 30, 2003

April 30, 2003

I am trying to add to what comes up on all the archive pages. The template seems to be "article.html". I have tried copying and editing that file in /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/listname/en and editing the copy in templates (/usr/local/mailman/templates/en/article.html) - neither is resulting in change to old archive pages or to new posts. I also tried rebuilding the archives. Running 2.1.2. So ..... help?

pipermail thread display problem with Eudora clients
by Wesley T. Perdue April 30, 2003

April 30, 2003

Mailman users, I've just set up and completed initial testing of Mailman 2.1.2 on my Red Hat 7.1 server. I've noticed that when a message posted by a Eudora (5.2.1) for Windows client (running on Win2Ksp2) is replied to by a Eudora client, the thread display in the Pipermail archive is broken -- the reply is shown as a peer (same level, unindented) rather than a child (indented). I have not noticed this with Mozilla or elm clients; I haven't yet tried any other clients. I've searched the … [View More]

News gateway
by Nils Vogels April 30, 2003

April 30, 2003

Hi there! I'm kinda puzzling and hoping to achieve the following: List 'to-usenet' is a mailing list, which has a few subscriptions, that all wish to get all the articles in a random newsgroup, and send messages to the list, which will then be distributed over the members of the list, and to usenet. The list has to be protected from postings by non-members, since I really do not want to take the chance of gating any spam towards usenet (and get hung upside down by my ISP). How do I achieve … [View More]

Cascading Style Sheets -- Newbie question
by earthlink GHHalley April 30, 2003

April 30, 2003

Howdy All, Forgive me for asking what I bet is a simple question. My webdesigner is clueless on how this forum works and I'm really busy doing other work. Can we use CSS on our Mailman websites? If so, how? (assuming general familiarity with Mailman and its setup) And can we use different style sheets for different lists? THANKS in advance for your help. I promise not to ask any more bone-headed questions. Peace, George
