Hello,

I have a lot of troubles setting up the mailman on a linux box. Please help. I guess these are simple and common questions, so please help us. Many thanks.

Now, I run the apache webserver under username say, tatac, which is also the group name. I have suexec configured for apache. Why the following configuration doesn't work? Do I need a DocumentRoot?

I already run the suexec -V

-D AP_DOC_ROOT="/" -D AP_GID_MIN=100 -D AP_HTTPD_USER="nobody" -D AP_LOG_EXEC="/usr/local/apache/logs/suexec_log" -D AP_SAFE_PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin" -D AP_UID_MIN=100 -D AP_USERDIR_SUFFIX="public_html"

I hate this "nobody" thing, it has given me a lot of troubles already. I just don't want to run under nobody.

mailman directory ownership is tatac:tatac

<VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx:80> ServerName list.tata.com ServerAlias list.tata.com <IfModule !mod_disable_suexec.c> SuexecUserGroup tatac tatac </IfModule> Alias /mailman/archives /home/mailman/archives/public/ ScriptAlias /mailman/ /home/mailman/cgi-bin/ <Directory /home/mailman/cgi-bin/> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

Alias /pipermail/ /home/mailman/archives/public/ <Directory /home/mailman/archives/public/> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

<Directory "/home/mailman/archives/public/"> AddDefaultCharset off </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Any comments and ideas where went wrong?
