[Mailman-Users] Mailman CGI error

[jbrouhard at ci.st-joseph.mo.us]

you should be setting cgi to work with apache or whatever web browser you're
using:

--with-cgi-gid=apache

It'l repair it, as Apache cannot run stuff from the web as 'nobody' to my
knowledge.

Subject: [Mailman-Users] Mailman CGI error


So I've been working on getting Mailman working on my system -- I'm 
currently working on getting the web portion to work well.

Apache is up and running, I've made the necessary changes in the 
httpd.conf file, but when I go to the admin, create, etc. pages, I 
receive the following error:

---
Mailman CGI error!!!
The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is 
being stored in your syslog:

Failure to find group name nobody.  Try adding this group
to your system, or re-run configure, providing an
existing group name with the command line option --with-cgi-gid.
---

The first time I got this error, I checked for the existence of group 
nobody -- it exists, I recompiled with command line option 
--with-cgi-gid=99 (99 is the gid for nobody). Even after a clean 
re-install the problem still happens. Any insights from anyone?

For reference, I'm using Mailman 2.1, Apache 2.0.45, Xmail 1.12 on Redhat
8.0.

Thanks in advance,
Toby
