[Mailman-Users] Problem with a new install...

2005-06-15 Thread Michael D. Smith
I'm installing Mailman 2.1.6 on a RHEL 4.0 server...

I was having trouble with the smrsh, but worked that out...

Now however, when I post to a test list I get the following...

   - Transcript of session follows -
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File /home/mailman/scripts/post, line 69, in ?
 main()
   File /home/mailman/scripts/post, line 64, in main
 tolist=1, _plaintext=1)
   File /home/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Switchboard.py, line 126, in enqueue
 fp = open(tmpfile, 'w')
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 
'/home/mailman/qfiles/in/1118859566.129771+f526306b132c44862f163e9fbf3e65bea7258162.pck.tmp'
554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 1

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Mike

The qfile cannot be opened for writing. This is either a permission
problem or SELinux is denying access. You need to:

1) Verify the user/group the MTA is executing the post command under,
then look at the permissions on the directory and file.

2) Examine /var/log/messages and/or /var/log/audit for avc messages,
these log SELinux denials.

3) Try turning SELinux off (/usr/sbin/setenforce Permissive)

4) Contact me off list for a trial 2.1.6 rpm (I've created the rpm but
have not tested it yet, you could be the guinna pig :-)

BTW, the RHEL 4 mailman rpm already has the security patches that
prompted the 2.1.6 release, but 2.1.6 has some other new stuff as well.

I'll have to try that.

I turned off SELinux.  :)

I don't like being a test animal, but thanks for the offer! :)

After this is fixed, I still have to work on that pesky issue with 
getting the webpages to work

That's what I get from going from RH8 to RHEL 4 :)
