I searched the archives but did not find an answer. I have also already posted to Redhat's list for help(since I was already on their list), but none of their suggestions worked.
I'm new to mailman and trying to run it (2.0.13-3) on Redhat 8.0. It's installed and I created a new list. The problem is that I can't save any changes I make to that list from the admin pages. For example, if I change the where replies are directed to to "This List" and then hit submit, it asks me to enter the admin password again, then takes me back to the page. Problem is it didn't save my changes.
-It is sending cookies and my browser is accepting them (turned on prompting) -I did the post-install things from the readme -I ran check_perms, which found a bunch of permission problems, which I corrected with check_perms -f
Anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks, James

First, try deleting your local cookies, if that doesn't work, then read the FAQ it has some interesting suggestions that might work. Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
I didn't see anything in that FAQ that looked like it applied to my issue.
Another question though. Is there any documentation for installation when using the RPM install? Trying to follow the install doc for non-RPM install is very difficult when installed with RPM.
Should I uninstall the RPM and do it the manual way?
Thanks, James

Are you by any chance doing some redirection of list URLs to SSL? If so, that can cause your POST data to get lost and would cause something similar to what you describe. But that's just a WAG.
Another question though. Is there any documentation for installation when using the RPM install? Trying to follow the install doc for non-RPM install is very difficult when installed with RPM.
There should be some basic steps to follow to to some final config for the RPM based install. In redhat, that should be somewhere around /usr/share/doc/mailman-2.0.13. I think they put a file called README.REDHAT there, but it's been a while since I used a stock redhat rpm of mailman so YMMV.
Should I uninstall the RPM and do it the manual way?
If you have the ability to, upgrading to mailman 2.1.x is highly recommended. Many features have been added and bugs squashed since 2.0.13. If you really like managing things via RPM, you can build your own without too much trouble, but installing mailman via a tarball is pretty easy and does ensure that any problems you have aren't caused by a faulty rpm. That'll make it easy for folks here to help you.

rpm -qi mailman
If there are any installation notes for post install, that should bring them to light.
I've installed Mailman many, many times from source. I've also done a few rpm installs. The source one's *always* work.
The rpm ones always need a bit of tweaking - which is fine once you know what to tweak. RedHat 9's rpm install seems to work fairly well, though I did have to run check_perms -f to get it to work properly (and that was not in the documentation for the rpm).
Good Luck - Jon Carnes
