Hi,
I'm hoping that someone can steer me in the right direction here. I
downloaded the 2.1.2-5mdk rpm file from www.rpmfind.net, which was listed
as a cooker distribution (hence my question here :).
I'm running into a number of oddities that I'm hoping someone can help me
straighten out.
I installed the rpm (removed the old one, including removing
/var/lib/mailman just to make sure everything was clean. I created a
mailman mailing list as per the instructions that the rpm gave me (I.E.,
"bin/newlist mailman") and created the alias, ran newaliases, did a postfix
reload. Hit enter to continue, but it never sent a notification that the
list was created (like older versions did). I tried sending a test message
to the admin address for it, and got this message in my syslog:
Aug 5 14:46:48 janet postfix/local[4591]: B32118FD31: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
relay=local, delay=0, status=bounced (Command died with status 2:
"/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin mailman". Command output: Group mismatch error.
Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group "mail", but the
system's
mail server executed the mail script as group "nogroup". Try tweaking the mail server
to
run the script as group "mail", or re-run configure, providing the command line
option
`--with-mail-gid=nogroup'. )
Checking the wrapper program, I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mail]# pwd
/var/lib/mailman/mail
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mail]# ls -la
total 10
drwxrwsr-x 2 mail mail 72 Aug 5 14:27 ./
drwxrwsr-x 20 mail mail 528 Aug 5 14:27 ../
-rwxr-sr-x 1 mail mail 6184 Jul 20 06:38 mailman*
As you can see, it's SGID mail. So why is it complaining in the syslog
about a bad group?
On to the second thing that's driving me nuts. The website interface.
This rpm doesn't provide a /etc/httpd/conf/mailman.conf file, so you lose
your web interface to the program there. Fortunately, I had a copy from my
old 2.0.13-2mdk install, so I put it in place and modified httpd.conf to
Includ it. Ok, so now I've got a web interface. However, no matter *what*
I click when going into the "mailman" list admin page, it insists on
calling the site localhost.localdomain, which breaks anything you click on
because that then doesn't resolve (at least, not when you're accessing it
from another computer :). In my Mailman/mm_cfg.py file, I have:
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'rhpsfan.org'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.rhpsfan.org'
Is there something else that I should be overriding, in order to make the
website access produce a *proper* url when clicking on any llink in a list
administrative link?
Any help here would be appreciated!
