[Mailman-Users] mailman/gentoo/apache2, but going to web interface gives me 404 not found

2005-07-22 Thread michael
Hi,

I'm almost ashamed to ask this since it's probably the single most
common error when setting up mailman.

I have searched the archives but I haven't seen a case quite like mine;
namely, with gentoo. The reason I wonder if this plays a role is that
the gentoo install probably tried to do something, and perhaps got it
wrong.

Anyway, installation went smoothly following the gentoo+mailman howto 
(http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_install_Gnu_Mailman)

and I received the mail saying my default list mailman had been
created and how to access it. However, visiting any of the pages
mentioned there gave me a 404 - not found error.

Searching the archives did turn up a suggestion, that I add to my
apache2 config file a line:

   ScriptAlias /mailman /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin

now accessing any of my mailman URLs give:

   403 Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /mailman/admin/mailman on 
this server.

but bin/check_perms -f says everything is ok.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Michael

Check both your Mailman and Apache error logs. It doesn't seem that
you're even getting to the wrappers (/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/*),
but if you are, it could be a group mismatch error - see
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq06.016.htp

Check the permissions on /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/. On my system, the
directory and all its files are owner:group = root:mailman and the
directory is rwxrwsr-x and the files are rwxr-sr-x. the setgid bits
and mailman group are critical. Granted, check_perms should check
this, but ??

It could also be a SELinux issue if that is applicable in your
environment.
