Everything else works. Incidentally /usr/local/mailman/ and its subdirectories are on a separate physical drive to the document root which is /usr_www/virtualwebs/vizion2000.net/ Thanks again David Hi David, I don't think it's an issue with the version of Apache, but rather a permissions issue on your private directory. The quickest way to determine where the problem lies is by running Apache inside of truss (http://bit.ly/DFWAr). With the proper command line arguments, truss should reveal the cause of the link target not accessible error. However, you can also try to figure it out by determining the uid/gid of your Apache processes and inspecting the permissions in the mailman directory hierarchy. Type this: egrep '^(Group|User)' /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf Note the results. On my system, it prints: User www Group www Next, run each of the following commands in order, noting if any of the permissions prevent the Apache uid/gid from accessing the directory. ls -ld / ls -ld /usr ls -ld /usr/local ls -ld /usr/local/mailman ls -ld /usr/local/mailman/archives ls -ld /usr/local/mailman/archives/private ls -ld /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/bps_comp_print_reminders My guess is that you'll find some permissions that need to be loosened slightly. I'm not familiar with mailman, so I'm assuming that the web interface scripts run with the uid/gid of the Apache process. If they don't for some reason, you'll need to know their uid/gid to do this analysis.

David ___ Hi David, Can you post a listing of the contents of the directory /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/? Also, please visit http://www.vizion2000.net/pipermail/bps_comp_print_reminders/ and post the request errors from httpd-error.log.

Everything else works. Incidentally /usr/local/mailman/ and its subdirectories are on a separate physical drive to the document root which is /usr_www/virtualwebs/vizion2000.net/ Thanks again David Hi David, I don't think it's an issue with the version of Apache, but rather a permissions issue on your private directory. The quickest way to determine where the problem lies is by running Apache inside of truss (http://bit.ly/DFWAr). With the proper command line arguments, truss should reveal the cause of the link target not accessible error. However, you can also try to figure it out by determining the uid/gid of your Apache processes and inspecting the permissions in the mailman directory hierarchy. Type this: egrep '^(Group|User)' /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf Note the results. On my system, it prints: User www Group www Next, run each of the following commands in order, noting if any of the permissions prevent the Apache uid/gid from accessing the directory. ls -ld / ls -ld /usr ls -ld /usr/local ls -ld /usr/local/mailman ls -ld /usr/local/mailman/archives ls -ld /usr/local/mailman/archives/private ls -ld /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/bps_comp_print_reminders My guess is that you'll find some permissions that need to be loosened slightly. I'm not familiar with mailman, so I'm assuming that the web interface scripts run with the uid/gid of the Apache process. If they don't for some reason, you'll need to know their uid/gid to do this analysis. Here-tis dns1# egrep '^(Group|User)' /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf User www Group www dns1# ls -ld / drwxr-xr-x 36 root wheel 1024 Dec 19 11:36 / dns1# ls -ld / drwxr-xr-x 36 root wheel 1024 Dec 19 11:36 / dns1# ls -ld /usr drwxr-xr-x 23 root wheel 512 Dec 12 14:21 /usr dns1# ls -ld /usr/local

Have you tried running the check_perms scripts from the mailman package? That may help you determine where the problem is. More information can be found here, along with some specific info about the permissions for the private directory: http://bit.ly/7Ht0rS Hope that helps, Greg Yes I did run the perms script - but that was before I made the changes to httpd.conf . I have just rerun check_perms and all is now working!!! You guys have been brilliant - it looks as though the problem was a combination of errors in ownership of mailman/archives, plus mal-configured httpd.conf and my apache virtual configuration files. Once I got thtose soirted out as a result of all the advice I received, the problem has gone away. Many thanks David Beautiful - glad to hear it!
