Thanks to those who responded to my plea. The suggestion was to do the
install as root. It worked -- even though the instructions said not to do
it as root. Go figure!
So I've gotten well down on the list. I have a rudimentry understanding of
apache configuration, but certainly not expert.
I created the list "test" and received the email telling us to go to:
http://www.tenant.net/admin/test
OK, so it doesn't work and I get a 404. Looking at some old messages from
the list, I erase the previous changes to access.conf and add the following
(not sure about the mailmanlog directory as it doesn't exist):
# stuff for mailman
ScriptAlias /mailman/ /home/mailman/cgi-bin/
#Alias /mailmanlogo/ /home/mailman/logo/
Alias /pipermail/ /home/mailman/archives/public/
<Directory /home/mailman>
allow from all
Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
So on a hunch, I edit the URL on my browser to read"
http://www.tenant.net/mailman/admin/test
and sure enough I get the password page for the admin functions. But this
is not what is reflected on the email I received. So it the apache config
worng? Or is it something in the mm_cfg.py file? Seems as it's OK as long
as I use the URL above, but the program things it is something else.
Thanks again!
