I'm trying to figure out why people can't subscribe to the askref list. It may be a more general problem with other lists, but I've only heard that it's a problem with this one.
Since the error was first reported, Red Hat's up2date helpfully installed an rpm version of mailman-2.1.5 on top of our existing 2.1.9 installation, but since then I have removed the rpm, run 'make install' from our already-configured source, and run check_perms -f until it reported no errors. Here's what I get in /var/lib/mailman/logs/error when I try to subscribe myself to the list: Sep 12 12:34:31 2007 admin(16095): @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ admin(16095): [----- Mailman Version: 2.1.9 -----] admin(16095): [----- Traceback ------] admin(16095): Traceback (most recent call last): admin(16095): File "/usr/lib/mailman/scripts/driver", line 101, in run_main admin(16095): main() admin(16095): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/subscribe.py", line 97, in main admin(16095): mlist.Save() admin(16095): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 565, in Save admin(16095): self.CheckHTMLArchiveDir() admin(16095): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 236, in CheckHTMLArchiveDir admin(16095): breaklink(pubdir) admin(16095): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 56, in breaklink admin(16095): os.unlink(link) admin(16095): OSError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/var/lib/mailman/archives/public/askref' admin(16095): [----- Python Information -----] admin(16095): sys.version = 2.3.4 (#1, Jan 9 2007, 16:40:18) [GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)] admin(16095): sys.executable = /usr/bin/python admin(16095): sys.prefix = /usr admin(16095): sys.exec_prefix = /usr admin(16095): sys.path = /usr admin(16095): sys.platform = linux2 admin(16095): [----- Environment Variables -----] admin(16095): HTTP_COOKIE: __utmz=28244473.1183482814.137.10.utmccn=(referral)|utmcsr=wordpress.com |utmcct=/signup/|utmcmd=referral; __utma=28244473.1334177691.1149792248.1188997686.1189613645.149; __utmb=28244473; __utmc=28244473 admin(16095): SERVER_SOFTWARE: Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) admin(16095): SCRIPT_NAME: /mailman/subscribe admin(16095): SERVER_SIGNATURE: <address>Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server at lists.tblc.org Port 80</address> admin(16095): admin(16095): REQUEST_METHOD: POST admin(16095): HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE: 300 admin(16095): SERVER_PROTOCOL: HTTP/1.1 admin(16095): QUERY_STRING: admin(16095): CONTENT_LENGTH: 92 admin(16095): HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 admin(16095): HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6 admin(16095): HTTP_CONNECTION: keep-alive admin(16095): HTTP_REFERER: http://lists.tblc.org/mailman/listinfo/askref admin(16095): SERVER_NAME: lists.tblc.org admin(16095): REMOTE_ADDR: 64.128.136.196 admin(16095): PATH_TRANSLATED: /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/askref admin(16095): SERVER_PORT: 80 admin(16095): SERVER_ADDR: 64.128.136.9 admin(16095): DOCUMENT_ROOT: /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/ admin(16095): PYTHONPATH: /usr/lib/mailman admin(16095): SCRIPT_FILENAME: /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/subscribe admin(16095): SERVER_ADMIN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] admin(16095): HTTP_HOST: lists.tblc.org admin(16095): HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL: max-age=0 admin(16095): REQUEST_URI: /mailman/subscribe/askref admin(16095): HTTP_ACCEPT: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plai n;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 admin(16095): GATEWAY_INTERFACE: CGI/1.1 admin(16095): REMOTE_PORT: 3649 admin(16095): HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE: en-us,en;q=0.5 admin(16095): CONTENT_TYPE: application/x-www-form-urlencoded admin(16095): HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING: gzip,deflate admin(16095): PATH_INFO: /askref What should I be looking for here?
