Mailman version 2.1b4 problem
I got this email today after installing 2.1b4 (which does work otherwise normally....)
Subject: Cron mailman@defiant /usr/local/bin/python -S /home/mailman/cron/mailpasswds
Site list is missing: mailman
Any pointers?
Regards, Mike

This mains that you must create a mailinglist "mailman"

I don't use a mailing list named mailman though.

The INSTALL file in the MM 2.1b4 srouce distribution contains the following instruction:
<quote> - Create a "site-wide" mailing list. This is the one that password reminders will appear to come from. Usually this should be the "mailman" mailing list, but if you need to change this, be sure to change the MAILMAN_SITE_LIST variable in mm_cfg.py (see below).
% bin/newlist mailman
Follow the prompts, and see the README file for more
information.

So I'm trying to install 2.0.13 on a RedHat 7.2 system.
The Python programs all seem to build okay, but the ones gcc is supposed to make don't and gcc seems to be working okay for other things.
The prefix/mail directory is empty...
I searched the archives, found one fellow that was having a similar problem, he told me to go to http://www.dsvr.co.uk/support_documentation/E-Mail/Mailing_Lists/mailman.htm...
and use the instructions there.
They say to
./configure options make make install
instead of
./configure options make install
They didn't yield any different results.
I've tried running this as root and as the user mailman (and switching these are various states along the install process).
Details below.
I would REALLY appreciate any help with this. I'm not sure what to even try next. Thanks!
I use this ./configure line...
./configure --with-mail-gid=12 --with-cgi-gid=apache --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.1
I get this output
