Hello List Admins,
I am somehow at the end of my thinking capacity with this problem, yet
I
think it's something minor that a third eye can help me with:
I have installed mailman-2.1.34 on a brand new box running
FreeBSD-12.1.
The problem is that the web UI won't open. It instead prompts me
to download a file. The contents of the file can be seen from the
below
link:
https://pastebin.com/8bh6g6rv
That's the 'listinfo' ELF binary. That indicates a webserver
misconfiguration: it's sending what it should be executing.
How I have done the installation:
1. I did the manual options
cd mailman-2.1.34
./configure --with-cgi-gid=80 --with-mail-gid=26
make
make install
Have you considered the options of installing the prebuilt package or
from the ports tree? Either may work for you without any fuss.
2. The files in /usr/local/mailman:
[...]
drwxrwsrwx 22 root mailman 512 Jul 29 2017 mailman
Probably unrelated, but that's very disturbing.
[...]
VirtualHost configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
Ok, this is for http://whatever...
ServerName lists.mydom.ain
ServerAdmin odhia...@gmail.com
ErrorLog /var/log/mailman-error.log

That kicks you over to a port 443 virtual host.
RedirectPermanent /htdig /icons/htdig
RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ /mailman/listinfo/
Alias /pipermail "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public"

Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/
This applies to the port 80 vhost. Do you have the same in your port 443
vhost?
<Directory /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/>
Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
What is it that I am being blind to that makes the web UI not open?
My guess: no ScriptAlias directive in the port 443 vhost.
Thanking you in advance for being my third eye.
I hope the above qualifies...
