Did you install Mailman yourself or are you using cPanel's Mailman. If the latter, did you modify the paths in the above instructions to match cPanel. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/sYA9>. >I create a new list to test the adaptor. When I go to the list's page >it gives me an error.

In a typical CentOS RPM install, /usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python2.4 are hard links to the same file. How many /usr/lib/python* directories do you have? >I'm wondering if having two versions might be the >cause? Or could there be a user permissions issue? How was Mailman configured? Having two or even more versions of Python should not be a problem as long as the one Mailman was configured to use has MySQLdb installed. Is Mailman running? What happens if you send a 'help' command by email to the new list's -request address? I don't think this is a permissions issue as MySQLdb should be world searchable/readable, but I suppose it could be a SELinux issue if SELinux is enabled. If you run strings /path/to/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo The output should contain amongst much other stuff the path of the python used by the CGI scripts. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
