I've been trying to move a mailing list from one server to another. The
list was hosted on a server that had cpanel, and I have backups from it.
I followed (with some assistance from a friend who has a working mailman
install) the "how to move a mailman list" from a debian site. It's
currently being hosted on debian (not my choice, but that's the way it
is), so I figured that would be closer to what I needed.
The machine is actually a virtual server, but I do not think that's
causing any issue. The version of mailman is 2.1.1.5 (if that makes a
difference). The previous install used urls that are cooked into the
configuration, and the current one is adding something that keeps any of
the links from working. I found this reference:
http://wiki.nginx.org/Talk:Mailman
Don't works for me on Ubuntu Maverick (nginx 0.7.67-3ubuntu1, mailman
1:2.1.13-4), showing 403 for every mailman script, logs get a "Cannot
get script name, is DOCUMENT_ROOT and SCRIPT_NAME set and is the
script executable?". Gionn 19:26, 22 January 2011 (MSK)
Ok, I've just discovered that the problem was simply mailman
generating wrong urls. I changed /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py from:
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/cgi-bin/mailman/'
to:
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/'
I changed this file, and restarted apache, but I probably need to do
more. Please note that I'm looking for pity and mercy, here. I don't
write python, and I don't do a lot of technical work any more (which
means that I'm really rusty in this). I was enormously grateful to
discover check_perms, which helped me with permission issues, but I
either need to restart the mailman qrunner stuff (and cross my fingers
that the change above fixes things, without breaking other things), or
figure out a way to fix the URLs already contained in the list.
