Hi,

Thanks for your reply, but this wasn't the problem. I only have one instance of the python binary, in /usr/local/bin.

Any else got any ideas ?

Check to see if you have multiple versions of python installed, particularly in different directories (/usr/local/bin and /usr/bin were the culprits in my case).

Hi All,

I've just installed Mailman 1.0rc2 without any obvious problems.

When I create a new list using the newlist script, as per INSTALL Section 5. called "test-list", with my own address as the administrator, I am mailed the instructions, including the password provided to "newlist".

However when I go to the admin web interface at http://my.list.server/mailman/admin.cgi/test-list, I am told "Sorry, wrong password. Try again."

I've also created a password using "mmsitepass", but this is also rejected.

What's happening ? TIA !

The system is running:

RedHat Linux 5.2 gcc 2.7.2.3 Apache 1.3.6 (compiled on this system) Python 1.5.2 (compiled on this system)

configured using:

$prefix=/usr/local/mailman --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python --with-mail-gid=mail --with-cgi-gid=nobody --with-cgi-ext=.cgi

I correctly set the permissions on the $prefix directory.

I added to httpd.conf:

Alias /pipermail "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public/"

<Directory "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/"

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