[Mailman-Users] Problems installing Mailman...

[TJ Snider]

Hi Folks,

I've been trying for the last day and a bit trying to get Mailman installed,
with mixed results.
I'm a long term(16 yrs) developer mostly C/C++ & Java on Mac and Winedows,
but have some old BSD experience. I'm still coming up to speed with all the
sys admin bits of Linux, (I used to help admin an old BSD 4.2 box). I'm also
new to Python, but it looks pretty simple to pickup.

I have a RH 6.2 system with a 2.4 kernel, and Exim as the mailer. Python is
1.5.2.

I'm running Apache 1.3.17 with a total of 3 virtual domain(one IP), and I'm
running my own DNS for all three such as(names not real);

a.com
b.org
c.net

with a.com being the 'host' domain.

I've installed mailman, defaulting to /home/mailman and am able to send the
mail for the test mailing list, so the mail path works. However I note that
the configuration script picks up c.net as the domain name... despite the
hostname being a.com, so there's a chance that my DNS configuration isn't
quite what mailman wants.

I am unable to get to www.a.com/mailman/, and I've pretty scrupulously
followed the install instructions.

I've tried several different configuration options but to little avail.

Does this scenario twig anyones memory, or does anyone have any suggestions
for what to try next?

Thanks hopefully in advance,

TJ
