After installing 2.1.2 from a Mandrake RPM and getting help which overcame every problem but one. The RPM inexplicably didn't address mailman's wanting GID no group and postfix insisting on GID mail.

So after removing the RPM, getting the 2.1.4 tarball, discovering my python lacked something, compiling a new python, installing mailman and getting to the point where all the permissions are correct, I now find myself facing doing things with apache which the RPM would dealt with in seconds.

So, does anyone know:

1. Where an apache2-specific howto config for mailman, exists? or
2. Is there a way to run mailman without the web interface?

Either of the above will save me an awful lot of grief.

Mandrake already has the include file on your server - you may need to modify the settings slightly to match where you installed your Mailman. Look for it under the directory /etc/httpd/..

Here is a copy of the one I'm using on my current test system (which is currently RH9)

=== # # httpd configuration settings for use with mailman. #

ScriptAlias /mailman/ /var/mailman/cgi-bin/ Alias /pipermail/ /var/mailman/archives/public/ <Directory /var/mailman/archives> Options +FollowSymlinks </Directory>

# Uncomment the following line, replacing www.example.com with your server's # name, to redirect queries to /mailman to the listinfo page (recommended).

# RedirectMatch /mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo
