Hello. I'm trying to setup Mailman on a Red Hat 8.0 system. I have not been able to find any setup information indicating how to activate and access the Mailman service. The rpm is installed, but your web pages and documentation do not indicate how to get things running or how to access it... Am I missing something?
For example, do I need to put a pointer to Mailman in my Apache config? Or do I point to a certain port?
Perhaps there is a How-To I'm missing?
This page: http://mailman.sourceforge.net/site.html Has some useful operational info, but tells me nothing about the actual setup and activation of the service. It was all I could find claiming to be for admins.
Please steer me to the setup docs. I'm sure other people are experiencing the same frustrations.
Best Regards Tom Loscheider Technology Director Mahnomen Schools
I always use the source for the install since there is so much that needs to be done outside the RPM (plus it is sooo easy to install via source).
Fortunately for you other folks like to use RPM's, here is a comment from one of them (taken from the archives - which you should feel free to search)...
To quote Jeremy Portzer: To find out information about an RPM's maker, etc., run "rpm -qip filename.rpm" . If you run that command on the Red Hat Linux mailman-2.0.13-1.i386.rpm, you'll see a bunch of EXTREMELY important setup notes -- things you must do after installing the RPM. Follow those instructions! Don't complain if you don't follow them and stuff doesn't work! *grin*
If that doesn't resolve your problems, then check out the FAQ entry:
