[Mailman-Users] how to avoid mailmanSite list creation
Hello All, 1) I'm implementing web-cyradm installation together with mailman-2.1.4-83.13 on SLES 9. As I understood from the documentation, there must be mailman list for mailman to work properly. Web-cyradm implementing virtual domains with the use of MySQL tables, so my mailman list will look something like haifa.ac.il-mailman where haifa.ac.il is one of the domains I have. After creating this list, I restart mailman and get Starting mailmanSite list is missing: mailman error. Is there any way to avoid this limitation? 2) When I go to http://myservername.com/mailman/listinfo with the browser, I got this message: Bug in Mailman version 2.1.4 We're sorry, we hit a bug! If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy of this page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what happened. Thanks! Traceback: Content-type: text/html We're sorry, we hit a bug! Mailman experienced a very low level failure and could not even generate a useful traceback for you. Please report this to the Mailman administrator at this site. In my /etc/apache2/default-server.conf I configured it like this: ## ## ## mailman ## ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/ Directory /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/ AllowOverride None Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory ## ## end mailman ## ## Are these config lines sufficient or my bug is from 1) question?

Web-cyradm implementing virtual domains with the use of MySQL tables, so my mailman list will look something like haifa.ac.il-mailman where haifa.ac.il is one of the domains I have. Neither web-cyradm nor the MySQL member adapter are supported parts of Mailman. If you're having problems with them, you need to use resources appropriate to them. You might get lucky and find someone else on this list who is also using them, but then again, you might not. 2) When I go to http://myservername.com/mailman/listinfo with the browser, I got this message: Bug in Mailman version 2.1.4 Keep in mind that there is a serious known security hole in Mailman 2.1.x prior to 2.1.6. You really should consider upgrading to the latest version. Are these config lines sufficient or my bug is from 1) question? I'm sorry I can't provide any more assistance, but I'd have to say that there's probably some sort of disconnect between the MySQL member adapter and the MySQL database, perhaps caused by the use of web-cyradm. But you should use resources appropriate to those products for further assistance. -- Brad Knowles, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.

You need a site list, this does not have to be created via your Web-cyradm tool set, it can be done at the time of mailman installation. 2) When I go to http://myservername.com/mailman/listinfo with the browser, I got this message: Bug in Mailman version 2.1.4 We're sorry, we hit a bug!

Traceback: Content-type: text/html We're sorry, we hit a bug! Mailman experienced a very low level failure and could not even generate a useful traceback for you. Please report this to the Mailman administrator at this site. This is typically a result of python syntax errors introduced by editing mm_cfg.py which is python code that gets executed. A typical reason is not quoting strings. If you can't find the syntax error try running one of the command line scripts in mailman/bin, the python interpreter will probably print the offending file and line number, this is hidden when using the web interface. In my /etc/apache2/default-server.conf I configured it like this: ## ## ## mailman ## ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/ Directory /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/ AllowOverride None Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory ## ## end mailman ## ## Are these config lines sufficient or my bug is from 1) question? Looks fine to me provided your path is correct. See above, you need the site list, you probably have a syntax error in mm_cfg.py. -- John Dennis [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
