I am trying to move my heretofore working mailman installation from one server (FreeBSD/Sendmail) to another (RedHat/Exim). I can access my lists at my main url, but I get "Page not found" on the domains I host. The error log says "premature end of script headers". None of the lists have colliding names. Mailman is critical to my clients. I have been through the faq, the archives and the documentation. I've tried everything I could find that seemed applicable. help! Moving servers is bad enough without this crap!

Lynn Hi again, If the error is 'premature end of script headers', I would hazard a guess that the CGI is not being interpreted by the server correctly for Mailman, or it is being interpreted as a binary file rather than a text file for execution. I'd have a look at the mailman installation on the new server for cgi execution firstly

But why would it work on the main url but not the virtual ones? Here's what I mean.

This doesn't: http://www.democracyfororegon.com/mailman/listinfo

Same server, same mailman installation. The first one runs fine, the second one throws premature end of script headers.

Actually, the current is 2.1.6b5 at http://mm.tkikuchi.net/mailman-2.1.6b5.tgz

This may be it, because turning off my htaccess file didn't do the trick.

I'm out of ideas and down to grasping at straws. I noticed in your post of the VirtualHost section of your Apache config, the first ScriptAlias was not indented like the rest of the section.

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

ServerName www.democracyfororegon.com
ServerAlias www.democracyfororegon.com democracyfororegon.com

I know it's not Python so indentation shouldn't matter ;-), but I wonder if the "ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/" is really on a separate line from "" or if there's really just a bunch of white space there that makes it "fold" onto the next line when displayed.

It looks like the second is a Drupal site, but the first isn't. Do you have an overly aggressive Apache rewrite rule/RewriteBase in the .htaccess file for its installation that is affecting Mailman? (If you rename .htaccess, does Mailman web access start working?)

I don't doubt you, and I will try it, but why would it work on one machine and not another, both using Apache?

Do *any* CGI scripts work on the second machine? (Is mod_cgi being loaded/enabled?)

No clues at all in the Apache error logs?
