hi,

i'm running rh 8.0 with mailman-2.0.13-3 with apache 2.0.40-8 but i don't know how to configure the apache httpd.conf file. i did the following configuration but everytime i visit the url i got access forbidden.

ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/var/mailman/cgi-bin/"

<Directory "/var/mailman/cgi-bin"> Options ExecCGI AllowOverride None Allow from from all Order allow,deny </Directory>

Looks good - as long as mailman is installed to /var/mailman/.. Are you loading the alias module: "AddModule mod_alias.c"?

What are the rights on your /var/mailman/cgi-bin directory? drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman cgi-bin

-rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman admin -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman admindb -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman archives -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman edithtml -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman handle_opts -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman htdig -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman listinfo -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman options -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman private -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman roster -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman subscribe -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman updateTOC

What group (GID) does apache run as on your server, and did you setup Mailman to use the proper GID? See the FAQ if you don't understand this question.

=== Here is a copy of the httpd.conf Mailman setup from one of my working installations. It looks just like yours.

# Set up ScriptAlias for Gnu Mailman service ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/home/mailman/cgi-bin/"

<Directory "/home/mailman/cgi-bin/"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

# Point to pipermail public mailing list archives Alias /pipermail/ "/home/mailman/archives/public/"
