On http://www.list.org/install-final.html under web server
configuration, you recommend:
ScriptAlias /mailman/ $prefix/cgi-bin/ Exec /mailman/* $prefix/cgi-bin/*
However, I'm using Apache and while the ScriptAlias line worked,
the Exec line caused an error ("Invalid command 'Exec', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration"). After some fiddling around, the following did work:
ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/home/mailman/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/home/mailman/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
I realize that the page says "Consult your web server's
documentation for details", but since the default advice seems to be geared to Apache, and the default advice doesn't seem to work (at least it didn't for me), I thought I'd send the correction.
hope this helps,
and thanks for putting together a great set of software!

You're right that it's incorrect... but it says "The line you should add might look something like *one of the following*..." The first line is an example for Apache and the second for another webserver -- I don't know which. I do agree that it could have been written more clearly.
