configure will be much happier if you provide the number. It is telling you what number to use! :) reconfigure with 12. Dunno how your particular passwd is set up but it appears that mail is running under gid 12 so...you have a line something like this in /etc/passwd "mail:x:8:12:mail:/var/spool/mail:" note the 12, that is the gid number. You prolly want to check the nobody number and have that in the --with-cgi-gid= part of configure.
cd <install path> make clean ./configure --with-mail-gid=12 --with-whatever-other-options make install hope this helps, -L >I did modify those options. sendmail deamon is running as root and >apache is running as nobody. > >so > >$>./configure --with-mail-gid=root --with-cgi-gid=nobody > >The error is complaining that it wanted gid 0 (root) but got gid 12 >(mail) > >so I recompiled from scratch w/ --with-mail-gid=mail > >Then test it. > >I get a subscription email, i reply, but don't get a confirmation reply. >I have that option set for this list as well. > >Am i misinterpreting what it means by --with-mail/cgi-gid???? > >thanx, > > > >On Mon, 2002-08-12 at 14:12, Tom Whiting wrote: >> On Monday 12 August 2002 03:28 pm, Support wrote: >> >> >> > ----- Transcript of session follows ----- >> > Failure to exec script.
