Hi,
I'm getting the infamous 403 Access Forbidden error trying to access my public archives.
I've read the faq and the README files but can't find my error. I'm using mailman 2.1.2-1 from Debian unstable with apache 1.3.27.0-1.
In mm_cfg.py I have:
PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL = '/mailman/private' PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = '/pipermail'
There were some changes in the URL handling between MM 2.0.x and 2.1.x
It looks as though you are using the old style which may be causing you problems.
In MM 2.1.2 PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL is a full URL pattern. Installing from source Defaults.py has the following definitions:
PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = 'http://%(hostname)s/pipermail/%(listname)s'
MM 2.1.2's Defaults.py no longer defines PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL but is does say the following:
<quote> DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mailman.ftel.co.uk' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mailman.ftel.co.uk' DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/'
# DEFAULT_HOST_NAME has been replaced with DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST, however some # sites may have the former in their mm_cfg.py files. If so, we'll believe # that, otherwise we'll believe DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST. Same for DEFAULT_URL. DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = None DEFAULT_URL = None </quote>
Probably worth taking a closer look at Defaults.py and then updating your mm_cfg.py to take account of changes between MM 2.0.x and MM 2.1.x
Then repost if you still have a problem.
My relevant section in http.conf reads:
Alias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ <Directory /var/lib/mailman/archives/public> Options FollowSymLinks Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
The directories in /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ are default symlinks to /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/
The permissions on the archive-directories in the latter are: drwxrwsr-x 5 www-data list
On the index.html file: -rw-rw-rw- 1 www-data list
I hope anybody can help.
Thanks, Ronald
