Hi Users-
I've installed Mailman without any problems, but I can't seem to figure out how I should setup Apache.
My document root for mailman is /www/htdocs/mailman.
I've tried the following:
<Directory /www/htdocs/mailman> ScriptAlias /mailman/ /www/htdocs/mailman/cgi-bin/ </Directory>
and
<Directory /www/htdocs/mailman> Options ExecCGI </Directory>
They don't seem to work. Can anyone give me some pointers?
Thanks in advance.
Matt

Hi Users-

I'm not quite sure what you mean by the "document root". If you mean that you configured Mailman like this:
./configure --prefix=/www/htdocs/mailman
you should add these lines to Apache's srm.conf:
ScriptAlias /mailman/ /www/htdocs/mailman/cgi-bin/ Alias /pipermail/ /www/htdocs/mailman/archives/public/
They should not be placed inside <Directory> tags. However, you might have to specify other server options for some Mailman directories, e.g.:
<Directory /www/htdocs/mailman/archives/public> Options FollowSymLinks </Directory>
If you meant something else when referring to your "document root", substitute "/www/htdocs/mailman/" in the instructions above with the directory you gave to the --prefix option of configure (or just use the default install directory, "/usr/local/", if you didn't use the --prefix option at all).
HTH,
Harald

Try putting that in srm.com

I would like to setup mailman to only allow users subscribed to post to the list. I see mailman has a option to allow users not to post, but I would like to take it one step further. I don't want people to be able to send mail to the list unless they are subscribed and allowed to post. This will keep mail and users who are banned from sending mail to the list.
I am also looking for a way to modify the background color, text and other options on the CGI pages, is this possible?

You should mark the list as allowing only members to post, then add troublemakers to the the list of addresseses described as "addresses whose postings are always held for approval". both these settings are under admin/privacy.

It's possible, but unfortunately not easily configurable. If you search for "#ffffff" in the code and replace it with whatever color you want, it'll probably do what you want.

I also hope that doing so will make it much easier for folks to customize their sites the way you describe.
