Thank you John for your reply. I know it's the next week, but maybe yourself or someone else can give me another hint.
I am still having this problem on one system. I setup mailman on another similar (but non-identical) system and got it working, but now I'm back to the first server. Everything in mailman/cgi-bin is mailman:mailman. I have run bin/checkperms and everything comes out okay. I did a ./configure --with-cgi-id=apache --with-cgi-gid=apache as that is what is given in my apache configuration for group and user, followed by a 'make' and 'make install'. Perhaps there is still a permissions problem, is there another spot I should check? I'll repost the errors I am getting in the mailman error log: Jul 26 10:14:25 2005 (21872) admin.py access for non-existent list: mailman Jul 26 10:14:26 2005 (21873) admin.py access for non-existent list: mailman Jul 26 10:17:31 2005 (21889) admin.py access for non-existent list: mailman Jul 26 10:18:43 2005 (21899) admin.py access for non-existent list: mailman Many Thanks, Josh Simoneau LMT Computer Systems (585) 784-7470 x4 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Dennis Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 12:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] "No such list mailman" after creating list On Wed, 2005-07-20 at 12:25 -0400, Josh Simoneau wrote: > Greetings, > > Installed 2.1.5 today and have been tinkering.

I suspect you may have a permissions problem when executing code via the web interface such that mailman does not have permission to read its files when invoked from a cgi script. Were you the mailman user when you created those initial lists? Are the files in mailman/cgi-bin suid mailman and group mailman? Are the list files that were created group mailman? You might try running mailman/bin/check_perms and if there are problems run it again with the -f argument to "fix" Also make sure what you used as --with-cgi-id --with-cgi-gid when you built mailman matches the id's used by your webserver. -- John Dennis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/jsimoneau%40lmtcs.c om Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
