I have a question about permissions for the archive directory.
I am migrating my Mailman server from an Ubuntu Dapper server
on which I installed my own package, built from the SourceForge
source, to an Ubuntu Lucid server, where I am installing the
Ubuntu/Debian package. The directory in question is
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private
On my production Dapper server, I have
drwxrws--x 904 www-data list 24576 2011-02-09 14:17 .
On my test Lucid server I have
drwxrws--- 10 root list 4096 2011-02-17 11:19 .
There are two differences:
owner: www-data vs. root
group execute privileges
In the current configuration I cannot get from the web to the list
archives. I tried changing the ownership to www-data, and that worked.
I then reset the owner back to root and added group execute
privileges, and that also worked.
What is suggested as the preferred fix? Thanks.
