Make sense? which file permissions are wrong? which ones do I have to change? check_perms -f changes get undone constantly and I don't know by what. if check_perms reports some "group list and not mailman" stuff I don't experience any problems and nothing changes when I fix them. When my web-interface doesn't work i.e. ls -l /var/lib/mailman/lists/listname/ total 24 -rw-rw1 mailman mailman 4284 Sep 14 12:00 config.pck then it will not work regardless of what check_perms says or does. all I know is: if I chown -R www-data /var/lib/mailman/lists then it works again. *help* -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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

I'm sorry I was mistaken earlier. It's a ubuntu server and not debian. I installed the mailman package first. Here however I received: Command output: Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group "daemon", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group "mailman". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group "daemon", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mailman'. I then installed from source with the "--with-mail-gid=mailman" option. Thats the situation I'm in now -> I can mail, but I can't use the web interface properly. aron -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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
[Mailman-Users] config.pck, apache, permissions and Errno 13
hello everyone, I am writing this e-mail as a sort of last resort. Believe me I've tried hard, but can't find a solution to the following problem. -I installed mailman on a debian server with postfix. -all mailing lists work. -webinterface works. now, whenever the cronscripts run, or somebody sends a mail over one of the lists, the permissions of some file (usually something like: "/var/lib/mailman/lists/listname/config.pck") will change from www:mailman to mailman:mailman. after this happens, I can no longer access the web-interface. The result: Bug in Mailman version 2.1.5 We're sorry, we hit a bug! If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy of this page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what happened. Thanks!

Apache+Suexec" one the one hand, this suggests I should run everything as mailman:mailman and on the other hand I am warned strongly against this in the mailman installation docs. not to mention that the apache docs concerning suexec are daunting. well as apache doc are ;-) and DON'T tell me to run check_perms! *grin* so now here is my question: can anybody help me? thank you aron -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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
