[Mailman-Users] Point directly to listinfo

Title: Point directly to listinfo





The list server I am setting up is only used for lists. I want the default page from apache to be my.server.org/mailman/listinfo directly. I tried to make a symlink between /var/www/html/index.html and /home/mailmna/cgi-bin/listinfo :

ln -s /home/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo /var/www/html/index.html


but I get a Mailman CGI error page when I browse my server.


If I access http://my.server.org/mailman/listinfo directly it works fine. 


I know it is something real simple and obvious but I can't seem to think strait today.


Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am not sure of the exact meaning of your solution.


Here's what Ii understand:


I checked my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and yes it says:


LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so


in the file.


Then I copied the lines you suggest in that file (I placed them right after the ScriptAlias lines)
I restarted the httpd daemon (killall -HUP httpd) and accessed my site. Same page as before. Am I missing a step?


Thanks

 This will not work as you are trying to link a static page to 
 a cgi script. 
 The link is fine but Apache cannot interpret this as you want.
 
 Asdsuming you have mod_rewrite installed, the following 
 Apache re-write 
 rules will work to transparently redirect the URI '/' and 
 '/index.html' 
 to the cgi-script
 
 RewriteRule ^/$ /mailman/listinfo [PT]
 RewriteRule ^/index.html$ /mailman/listinfo [PT]
 
 Whether you will get any knock-on problems with the browser 
 interpreting 
 relative links on the pages returned incorrectly is another 
 issue. If that 
 happens your may want to use the rewrite rules to redirect / 
 and /index.html:
 
 RewriteRule ^/$ /mailman/listinfo [R,L]
 RewriteRule ^/index.html$ /mailman/listinfo [R,L]
 
 
 but I get a Mailman CGI error page when I browse my server.
 
 If I access 
 http://my.server.org/mailman/listinfohttp://my.server.org/m
ailman/listinfo 
directly it works fine.

Is there a way to have MM generate both daily *and* weekly digest of the same mailing list?

[Mailman-Users] mailman and sendmail under RH 7.2

2002-02-04 Thread Lafleur Maurice
Title: mailman and sendmail under RH 7.2





Hi,
This is more a sendmail than an mailman question, but here goes:


I have a brand spanking new RH 7.2 server on which I set mailman up. All went well, except that when I try to register to the test mailing list, my server refuses connection. Ther confirmtion request is received by the external server (from which I try to subscribe). The mailq of the external server shows that the confirmation request reply is held due to connection refusal from the new mailman server.

I am a bit new to RH 7.2 I usually install 6.2. Is there some sort of a new twist to make sendmail work under RH 7.2 ?


Thanks

[Mailman-Users] Posting to a list while being a memeber form another list

2002-01-31 Thread Lafleur Maurice
Title: Posting to a list while being a memeber form another list





I have the following situation:


List A is a generic, plain ML to which members can post


List B is an announce type list: only one person can post, members read only.


Members of B want to post to A without being members of A, but *have to* be members of B. In other words, they dont want the traffic from A but still need to post to it.

What set up should I use for this?


Thank you.

[Mailman-Users] Messages and web pages translation; Remotely creating Lists

2002-01-28 Thread Lafleur Maurice
Title: Messages and web pages translation; Remotely  creating Lists





Hello,


I finally get every thing under control and I am getting ready to deploy MM for many mailing lists. One of them is for a French language college and they need their interface for users (and eventually for administrator too) to be translated to French. 

I was able to translate some of it by modifying the HTML using the admin page , but some of it comes from elsewhere. My question is where? Where in the code can I modify, for example button faces, so they show their purpose in another language. Some messages are canned too and I would like to modify them. Is there a central point where all messages and button faces are kept?

Secondly, I was asked if lists could be created remotely through the web instead of using a login to the server?


Thank you

Title: Messages and web pages translation; Remotely creating Lists



Thanks, I will check with the french team and maybe 
help them out. 

I knew 
the source has to be used, I just know squat about python and sorta was looking 
for a jump start on where the messages are generated. 
Anyhow...

About 
creating a new list from the web, is this possible yet or just another item to 
add to the wish list?

Thanks,

MGL

  Use the Source!
  
  Mailman is opensource. You may have 
  installed it via an RPM, but you can just as easily install it via it's source 
  files. In particular, you can grep for whatever text you like and change 
  it in the Source. These issues, and many others are covered in the 
  "international" mailman list. You might find more help if you post 
  there. I suspect you will also find someone with the Source already 
  converted...

[Mailman-Users] wrapper

2002-01-24 Thread Lafleur Maurice
Title: wrapper





Hi all,


I am quite new to mailman, but an experienced mailing list admin. I have been running MJ for a couple of years and I now want to move on to MM.

[ I am not sure I am allowed to use the s u b s c r i b e or u n s u b words here, some lists have low tolerance to admin words...]

I installed 2.0.8 on my server (the same server that currently hosts MJ lists) and I got as far as being able to create a list and browse the list's pages to manually zubscribe members and make other adjustments.

The problem is I can't seem to be able post to the list at all. I can't zub or unzub either for that matter. I know it has to do with my aliases. There is a tid bid of info to this affect in the doc, but it is unclear to me what the wrapper symlink should be smrsh-wise, in particular while running the two mailing list services at the same time.

Thanks for you help,
