I have been having difficulty with the admin interface using mailman v1.1 as shipped with debian potato. Initially the login works fine for the first time after creating a new list. When I leave and return to the list I would have the same problem as others: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2000-July/005550.html When I started looking at the cookie data I noticed something. most cookies in my cookie file have a path = '/' mailman has a path = /cgi-bin/mailman Now, I thought about the suggestion when configuring with apache to set up an alias, this I did so that uri's now look like: http://hostname/mailman/listinfo Notice that this conflicts with the cookie lookup. When I type in the full uri: http://hostname/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo Voila! I didn't even have to type in the password the first time. So, is this path sent as part of the cookie data for a reason? I mean is there a possibility of an administrator configuring and installing mailman at more than one cgi path on the system with the same list names so that there might be a conflict? If not would it be possible to remove the path so that it would be consistent? Is the following the only places that this would affect grep GetRequestURI Mailman/*/* Mailman/* Cgi/admin.py:125: 'path' : Utils.GetRequestURI(defaulturi), Cgi/admindb.py:104: 'path' : Utils.GetRequestURI(defaulturi)\ text = Utils.maketext( 'admlogin.txt', {'listname': list_name, 'path' : Utils.GetRequestURI(defaulturi), 'message' : message, }) Please cc any reply. Thanks so much. Respectfully: David _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
