I am using R/Hat 7.2 and Mailman 2 - I cannot seem to get the proper configuration. I got the confirmation email when I first installed. I have since uninstalled and re-installed several times, but don't even get a confirmation for 'test'.

A few other questions: Are the mailman directory/files supposed to be user: 'root' group: 'mailman'?

Do I need to put FollowSymLinks scripts in the httpd.conf file or does the R/Hat RPM distro do that?

Finally, I am getting the following email in my root mailbox:".... Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 222, in ? main() File "/var/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 198, in main lock.lock(timeout=0.5) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 219, in lock self.__write() File "/var/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 350, in __write fp = open(self.__tmpfname, 'w') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/mailman/locks/gate_news.lock.davestek.com.9537'

Any help will be so much appreciated. I've been on this for 3 days running. David Burrows Email: david@pnwer.org
