I have a hunch ...

Are you running an Apache web server?? Or more importantly, who owns the processes for CGI programs that your web server starts? "nobody' is it? That being the case "nobody" would need to be in your mailman group AND, group write permissions need to be set for the /home/httpd/html/mailman directory.

Hows that sound??

Mark, that's the problem I was having - I had some people offer suggestions, but still haven't gotten it resolved. I'm still using majordomo, because I can't get mailman to work correctly.

Now that there are two of us, maybe someone can get this resolved. (I say this with full appreciation and no disrespect to those who tried to help me, but it just didn't help.)

After working all morning, I successfully created a list, and can post to it, etc.

However, there are no webpages for the list (in home/httpd/html/mailman) (it didn't even create the directory)

How do I create these things, or why isn't mailman creating them? I created a mailman dir with proper permissions, but still mailman won't put any html files in there... is there a script I'm suppose to run, or

[root@spgo Mailman]# cd /home/httpd/html/mailman [root@spgo mailman]# ls -la total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Jan 26 10:04 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jan 26 10:04 ..

############################################################## # Put YOUR site-specific configuration below, in mm_cfg.py . # # See Defaults.py for explanations of the values. #

DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'spgo.yi.org' DEFAULT_URL = 'http://spgo.yi.org/mailman'

MAILMAN_OWNER = 'mailman-owner@spgo.yi.org' % spgo.yi.org

PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = '/pipermail' PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL = '/mailman/private'

##############################################################

The one thing I didn't understand in the docs was this:

" Configure your Web server to point to the Pipermail public mailing list archives:

  For example, in Apache:

     Alias /pipermail/ $prefix/archives/public/

  Consult your Web server's documentation for details.  Also be
  sure to configure your Web server to follow symbolic links in
  this directory, otherwise public Pipermail archives won't be
  accessible.  For Apache users, consult the FollowSymLinks
  option.quest@spgo.yi.org"

Can anyone helpful be more explicit as to what I need to do here?
