[Mailman-Users] Mailman installation on Solaris 10 crashes
A couple of weeks ago there were two or three posts about Mailman crashing on install of the Japanese and Korean Codecs. I swapped some offlist E-mails with Barry Sapiro and told him that I would investigate this for him when I did a fresh install of Solaris 10 on a box to be used as a Mailman mail server. Accordingly, this afternoon I did a default Jumpstart install of the Solaris 10 entire package on an Ultra 60 and added a gcc 3.3 development system from a Solaris Software Companion disk. One additional item was to set the install default path to pick up needed directories that are not included in the Solaris base install. PATH=$PATH:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/sfw/bin The last three directories in that order are significant. I did a build and install of Python 2.5 in /usr/local, and configured Mailman with the needed mail and cgi gid statments, then ran a make. Make install failed. The key section in the installation output is this: (cd ./$p ; umask 02 ; PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/mailman/pythonlib /usr/sfw/bin/p ython setup.py --quiet install --install-lib /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib --ins tall-purelib /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib --install-data /usr/local/mailman/pyt honlib); \ done /usr/sfw/lib/python2.3/distutils/dist.py:213: UserWarning: 'licence' distribution option is deprecated; use 'license' warnings.warn(msg) /usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed error: command '/usr/sfw/lib/python2.3/pycc' failed with exit status 1 *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-packages' Current working directory /usr/local/src/mailman-2.1.9/misc WHOOPS! What is with the very clear /opt/sfw/lib/python2.3 when I just installed 2.5 and put it in /usr/local/bin? Yes, Sun has included an older version of Python in the Solaris 10 distribution. To build and install with a locally-built Python, you have to put --with-python=/path/to/python as a flag to the configure script. Doing so produced a clean make and install. Note that while the fact that the wrong version of Python is not clearly evident until the installation crashes, the make step is also done with the same version. As of this writing, I don't know what issues this raises for Mailman at runtime. Nor do I know what issues are raised if the offending packages are removed. The actual version reported is 2.3.3, and pkginfo includes the notation GNOME, so the runtime, at least, has some involvement if you are using the gnome desktop. An additional (and very well-known) Solaris gotcha is the error line /usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed Evidently, the Solaris Python looks for a cc in the path. /usr/ucb/cc is simply a stub that most Solaris sysadmins rename or move after installation. The Sun Studio 11 native compiler is probably compatible with it, but there is still the objection to using an older Python.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman installation on Solaris 10
I'm beginning to replace the Mailman 2.1.9 installation on Solaris 9 Sparc, which has served us very well for the last two years. The new target machines are Sun Ultra 60's, one running Solaris 10-u4 (8/07) and the other, Solaris 10-u6 (10/08). All that is on either machine is a fresh install of Solaris (full install). While I've been through the drill of building and installing both Python and Mailman on Solaris before, I have a few obsrvations and questions. I went through the Mailman web page to find a download site. Going to Sourceforge offers only 2.12.rc1 unless you click stable on the first screen. I was unable to download either 2.1.11 or 2.1.12 from Sourceforge. That site links to Superb Hosting, which appears to be unresponsive. I had to get the software from the alternative GNU site. Both of the Solaris installs include Python 2.4.4. Whether the Solaris build is something resembling a full build or not, I don't know, but will soon find out unless someone has checked this out before me. In the past, getting anything resembling a full build of Python on Solaris has been a labor of love (porting the build scripts), and I'd prefer not to have to build and install another version of Python. I see Mark Sapiro's mail about incompatibility between 2.1.12rc1 and Python 2.4. My production installations have to have an archive search (not part of Mailman). In the past, we've used htDig 3.1.6, which is decidedly long in tooth, particularly as it requires gcc/g++ 2.95.3 to build (will not build with gcc 3 or above). For one installation, I'll filch the already-built binaries. However, I'll reopen the question of a better (and currently-maintained) search engine. I'm aware of a mail list discussing using Mhonarc and Mnogosearch, but nothing since the last posts to that site (early 2006). Is there something newer and better, or is doing the porting work needed to use Mnogosearch the best alternative available? One issue with the current 2.1.9 installation is performance while searching archives with htDig. We currently have 5gb of archives, and archive searches are very popular with our listers. I have picked up the patches for htDig-Mailman integration for 2.1.11 and assume I'm on my own for 2.1.12, for the present. Unless somebody tells me otherwise, I'll assume that I'm the first installing 2.1.12 on Solaris 10. That will go on the later (current rev) machine. Worth noting that on Solaris 10 10/08, it appears that sun has included the Studio 12 development system, with the c compiler in /usr/bin/cc. While our old nemesis, the BSD stub /usr/bin/cc is still there, a PATH that has /usr/bin before /usr/ucb should find a working cc. The config.pck files currently on the production system are for 2.1.9. If I build 2.1.11 and 2.1.12 as fresh builds and installs (no upgrade) and later copy my 2.1.9 config.pck files into them, will Mailman detect and correct the configuration? Any notes, comments, advice greatly appreciated.

Another over-the-hill geezer special. But since I saw the backside of the big 70 a while back, I suppose I'm entitled to one once in a while. WHOOPS! What is with the very clear /opt/sfw/lib/python2.3 when I just installed 2.5 and put it in /usr/local/bin? I would additionally make sure /usr/local/bin is first on your $PATH. There is a great deal of discussion (and some religious fervor) on the Solaris newsgroups about having (or refusing to have) a /usr/local directory on a Solaris system. The anti faction has some very strong points. Putting the /usr filesystem on its own filesystem mounted read-only is a good security measure. I bypass the arguments by putting /usr/local on its own filesystem. A better PATH layout for Solaris 9 or 10 would probably end with /usr/ccs/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/sfw/bin:/usr/sfw/bin Those directories all have to be added locally to the Solaris distribution defaults. Sun has moved to including more and more of what was known to Unix developers as the GNU suite in Solaris in the /usr/sfw directory, with some GNU things (bash, gzip) in /usr/bin. Time was (Solaris 2.5.1) that the GNU suite was all add-on from packages on the bonus software companion disk. What I'm working out is a suitable layout for a Solaris 10 development system that requires a minimum of jiggery-pokery for compiling various open source software packages. The system that actually runs Mailman in production is a different minimally-configured hardened-up Solaris box. A lot of this is OS-specific and site-specific, and probably discussion here should be limited to getting Python and Mailman installed. An additional (and very well-known) Solaris gotcha is the error line /usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed Evidently, the Solaris Python looks for a cc in the path. /usr/ucb/cc is simply a stub that most Solaris sysadmins rename or move after installation. The Sun Studio 11 native compiler is probably compatible with it, but there is still the objection to using an older Python. It's actually probably the Makefile that's finding /usr/ucb/cc. Pretty well-known failure mode on Solaris. Make sure a usable C compiler (either named gcc or cc wink) is first on your $PATH. No doubt. What I posted was the result of some offlist discussions I had with Mark about problems building Mailman on Solaris that were posted here a week or so ago. I offered to investigate a few of these on a fresh install of Solaris 10 11/06 before I had fully configured the box to my normal layout. Ultimately, that box will be configured to use the Sun development system (Studio 11, has cc and CC wink). There are decisions that a Solaris administrator has to make, such as whether to download and compile sendmail, apache, and bind; or to use the Sun distribution versions. I think that the decision is clear about Python---download and build your own, and configure your system so that it is the Python of choice on your site. (I'll note in passing that I didn't like the looks of the additional compiling in the Python install, and am going to go back to revisit that).

Re: [Mailman-Users] Problem with Installing Mailman 2.1.9 on Solaris 10
The esteemed David Devereaux-Weber has said: Hank, Thanks for your help! I installed Python 2.4.4. I did receive errors that tcl and something else didn't install. Now, the Mailman install script still finds /opt/csw/lib/python2.3/distutils/dist.py:213 . Can you tell me where Python 2.4.4 puts the distutils? Dave If you built python 2.4.4 to install in /usr/local, you should have a /usr/local/lib/python2.4 directory that has the distutils in it. I assume you're building Mailman 2.1.9 from downloaded source; if not, I recommend you do that, rather than using somebody else's prebuilt source. Make sure the correct python is in your PATH. If you've already built Mailman with the /opt/csw python2.3, do a make clean, rerun configure, make, and make install on Mailman. As I've said, /opt/csw is not a Solaris 10 directory, but is used by one or more of the package prebuilders. I would do an audit on what is in that directory and pkgrm anything you don't actually need on your system. Using the Solaris release sendmail and apache works well, but I'd build Python 2.4.4 and Mailman 2.1.9 from source. The default gid for sendmail is other and for apache is nobody, for the Mailman configure script on Solaris 9/10.

Here is an extract: /opt/csw/lib/python2.3/distutils/dist.py:213: There's your problem. Does anyone see something here? You're using the wrong Python. I don't know where you got this Python (/opt/csw is not a Solaris 10 directory), but it's behaving the same as the Python 2.3 that is in the Solaris 10 distribution installed in /usr/sfw. My recollection is that /opt/csw is being used by one or more prebuilt services who have religious tabus about using /usr/local, and presume you've downloaded a prebuilt Python package and installed it. Download the Python 2.4.4 source (not 2.5 or later), configure, and build that. It will not build completely, but what doesn't build (tcl and the ssl functions) isn't needed for Mailman. Solaris 10 comes with gcc 3.4.2 in /usr/sfw/bin, which can be used to build both Python and Mailman. When you've got Python 2.4.4 built and installed, use which python to make sure it's the first one in your path. /usr/local/bin/python Also, on a Solaris system (all versions), I strongly recommend renaming /usr/ucb/cc to something else so that configure scripts don't think the system has a working cc. That particular cc is a shell script stub that is there for historical reasons dating from the original SVR4 specification in 1988. If you have downloaded and installed the Sun development system (Studio 11 is the current marketing name for it) that installs by default in /opt/SUNWspro, use that cc and CC instead of the GNU stuff. Note that you'll have to force the configure scripts not to use gcc when you run them.

[Mailman-Users] installation on solaris
Hi everybody. I'm trying to install mailman on solaris. It builds fine and creates subdirectories in /usr/local/mailman/, but stops with permission errorswhen trying to copy files to those directories. Which is kind of strange, because the directory has group write permissions and the user 'make installing' is in that group. Also I have a question about the web interface. Is setting ScriptAliases to cgi-bin in mailman directory enough to get that working or is there a step missing from the readmes ? thank you in advance -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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/

One of the more screwed-up things I've seen from a Solaris box lately, I tell you Nothing particularly screwed up about Solaris as a platform for mailman. When setting up the mailman account, set up the account as a normal account, then use vipw to edit /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. Just delete specification of any shell from the passwd line. Shadow line should look like: mailman:NP::: The letters NP in the password hash field are important. But there are already plenty of examples in the file for you to follow. When setting up the crontab, and changing it, su from root to mailman, and follow the Solaris instructions. They are in the man pages. You don't need to fuss with cron.allow and cron.deny to get cron to process the mailman crontab. Just because: Solaris isn't Linux, and sendmail isn't Postfix, isn't a reason to call either one of them screwed up. The Mailman build-install instructions work just fine on Solaris/sendmail, if you pay attention to doing things the Solaris way, and treat Mailman as just another sendmail user on an existing and functioning sendmail installation. julie:vancleef:$ uptime 9:54am up 194 day(s), 17:24, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.02 It would be longer than that if we hadn't had a power outage shutown last winter.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Problem with Installing Mailman 2.1.9 on Solaris
The esteemed David Devereaux-Weber, P.E. has said: Hank, I'm still not succeeding in building Mailman. I'd like to follow another path. Can you explain why Tcl/TK don't build? The Python make install command fatals there, and doesn't complete copying some of the modules into the right places. Dave You're running into problems I haven't encountered, if you can't install Python without tcl and ssl. I'd suggest clearing the build and install directories, doing a fresh unpack of the Python sources, and running through the build process again. My recollection is that both Python and Mailman will build with the gcc 3.4.2 that is in the Solaris 10 distribution /usr/sfw directory tree, but that you have to do some jiggery-pokery with LD_RUN_PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or crle to get the builds to find the GNU libraries. My installations were built with the Sun development system (Studio 11, installs in /opt/SUNWspro), so I haven't explored the implications of running with a GNU build on Solaris 10 very far. Why Python won't build with the extensions in Solaris is that the build process doesn't look in /opt/sfw. I've done enough porting exploration to see that a fix involves adding a search to those directories in setup.py (in the Python build base directory), but haven't explored everything I need to know to assure that I've got an appropriate fix. Some queries to the Python users and Python developers mail lists didn't produce meaningful results, and I'm left with the feeling that yer on yer own with Python reliability. What I can tell you is that my builds of Python 2.4.4 and 2.5, using the Sun devsys, and without doing any porting work, install and support Mailman on my systems. I'd suggest capturing the outputs of the configure and make steps and reviewing them. Also, the various log, makefile, and status files that configure generates. I'm not really prepared to wear a Python developer hat and try to work Python-on-Solaris problems beyond getting a Python that will support Mailman.

Easy to fix. The cc that some makefile is finding is probably /usr/ucb/cc in the Solaris install. That is a stub that does nothing. Rename it to cc.bsd. On a Solaris site, you have to set up PATH as a post-install operation. Most Solaris admins have a post-install script for doing this. Do a check, using the which command. which gcc should point to the path where the gcc you want to use is located, and do a version check. Then do a which cc. Unless you have Studio 11 installed, you should get a not found return. The Studio 11 compiler resources are in /opt/SUNWspro/bin if they are installed. You may have to locate the offending Makefile or rerun configure to recover, but try make install first, after assuring that nothing can find /usr/ucb/cc.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Problem with Installing Mailman 2.1.9 on Solaris 10
The esteemed David Devereaux-Weber has said: I'm having a problem with building mailman 2.1.9 on Solaris 10. No problems with configure or make, but make install breaks. Here is an extract: /opt/csw/lib/python2.3/distutils/dist.py:213: There's your problem. Does anyone see something here? You're using the wrong Python. I don't know where you got this Python (/opt/csw is not a Solaris 10 directory), but it's behaving the same as the Python 2.3 that is in the Solaris 10 distribution installed in /usr/sfw. My recollection is that /opt/csw is being used by one or more prebuilt services who have religious tabus about using /usr/local, and presume you've downloaded a prebuilt Python package and installed it. Download the Python 2.4.4 source (not 2.5 or later), configure, and build that. It will not build completely, but what doesn't build (tcl and the ssl functions) isn't needed for Mailman. Solaris 10 comes with gcc 3.4.2 in /usr/sfw/bin, which can be used to build both Python and Mailman. When you've got Python 2.4.4 built and installed, use which python to make sure it's the first one in your path. /usr/local/bin/python Also, on a Solaris system (all versions), I strongly recommend renaming /usr/ucb/cc to something else so that configure scripts don't think the system has a working cc. That particular cc is a shell script stub that is there for historical reasons dating from the original SVR4 specification in 1988. If you have downloaded and installed the Sun development system (Studio 11 is the current marketing name for it) that installs by default in /opt/SUNWspro, use that cc and CC instead of the GNU stuff. Note that you'll have to force the configure scripts not to use gcc when you run them.

Probably, the best way to do it is kinda like what you infered: install mailman in the webserver and then automount the data directories.

[Mailman-Users] Problem installing on Solaris 8

[Mailman-Users] Migration Help
Hi, I need some help migrating our mailing lists. I've looked on list.org, and searched google, and I've yet to find anyone who's done what I'm doing. Basically, we have our lists running on a Linux box with mailman 2.0.13. We're moving it to Solaris, using mailman 2.0.13. I obviously can't just tar up the directories, so I need to know what I need to take from the Linux install to get it working on Solaris. I've tried a bunch of different things, the only thing that I haven't done is recreating the lists, then importing their respective directories and archives. I can't really do this, as I only manage one out of the many lists we have.. if I have to I will, but there has to be an easier way. Mailman works fine for lists that I create on that box, so the Solaris install is not the problem, it's just the lists I try to move. Can anyone out there shed some light on this for me?

I am installing Mailman on a Solaris 10 cold O/S install, and am right at the point in the install manual where I have to configure sendmail to work with Mailman. This is the fourth or fifth time I've gone through the process, so as they say in the automotive trades, I'm able to make flat rate. Since you guys aren't working with either Sendmail or Solaris, I think it would be best for me to walk through and record the entire process, and give that to you as a basis for inclusion where and however you want to use it. I'll note that the sendmail.org faq on setting up virtual domains is broken, and while the bat book covers doing it, the discussion is not complete. I think that including the relevant part of the main.mc file, as well as the configuration of the local-domain-name file (known as the cw file), to give the novice admin. all of what is needed to set up a virtual domain system might be wise. That would save you guys from having to answer FAQ questions constantly. Mark, I still owe you a how-to on moving an existing list to a new host.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Apache, mailman and ScriptAlias - not as documented
That's because you're installing a RedHat package, and the RPM already installed /etc/httpd/conf.d/mailman.conf which contains that ScriptAlias. Oh crap. Another reason I am going toward Solaris 10. The last thing I'd do is stick a web server confing file in another directory and include it. If they would have dropped the mailman config file in the main config directory, it would have caught my attention. Burying it elsewhere just does the out-of-sight, out-of-mind thing. You should be following the RedHat documentation that came with your package, not our generic, install from source documentation. Ya, that is going to be fun - NOT! I don't even know where the DVD is at the moment and have no idea if they actually installed any doumentation. At this point I'm just going to say screw it until I get the Solaris 10 box up and running. The configurations are obviously going to be different as I have no idea what the Hell they did when mailman was installed. FYI, there is no man page for mailman, so there isn't even a hint as to what they did. The computer is running, sorta. The damn processor is running hot and that is just sitting on the BIOS screen looking at system values. The AMD supplied heatsink can't even keep the temp near 40 deg C doing nothing. In a warm room, trying to install Solaris results in Solaris bitching that the temp is too hot and stopping. Sure enough, it was at 61 degrees, four less than the operational max. Not your problem. Thanks for pointing this out. I'll go away now and compile the source when I get Sol10 working. Speaking of that, do you suggest using GNU or Sun Studio to compile the package?

There is some issue which seems to affect some combination of Solaris release 8 and some versions of Python's distutils module and probably the specific configuration of the Solaris machine that impacts the installation of the C modules in the KoreanCodecs package. You can't just eliminate the Korean codecs because it causes problems for the email package. If your Python is 2.4 or later however, there are Korean codecs in Python so you don't need the package in Mailman's pythonlib. If you have an earlier Python, installing CJKCodecs http://cjkpython.i18n.org might eliminate the need for the Korean and Japanese codecs in Mailman's pythonlib. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Recovering from Server Fail, was FW: Make Install Fails
I've continued to fiddle with this and now have different errors, so I thought I would back up and give ya'll the big picture in case I'm approaching this from the wrong direction. Tuesday morning I had a hardware failure on my old Solaris 10 box. In 25 years in the business, I don't think I've seen a hardware failure as thorough as this that didn't involve smoke. The machine is utterly unrecoverable. So to get back into service, I decided to move the service to a different box. It's also a Solaris box, but is a Sun X4100. I have restored the directory tree from tape, but presume that the executables can't be run on the new platform. What is the quickest way to get mailman back in service?

Re: [Mailman-Users] 2.1 Install Issues
DL On most directories, each file to be installed is enumerated DL and installed within a loop, however, for the icons directory, DL the Makefile seems to rely on wildcard matching. That may not DL be a valid assumption. Could be a GNU Make-ism. Maybe Solaris's make doesn't do wildcarding? (It's been too long since I've been on Solaris and I'm too tired right now to look it up. ;). DL On the line that installs the template subdirectories, the DL 'install-sh -c' line has '-m 644 instead of '-m 664', so that DL may also be a Makefile issue. That's correct for the files inside the template subdirs. DL As for the messages subdirectories, those appear to be created DL with simple calls to mkdir rather than install and they don't DL appear to have permissions being set at all. Actually, both should be created by the mkinstalldirs script in the top level source directory.

Or is there a provision in the make file for preserving these directories with mailing list data (e.g. data/, archives/private/, archives/public/, lists/, etc...)?

The only htDig integration I am aware of is a set of patches originally developed by Richard Barrett and currently available in various versions at https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/266554, http://www.openinfo.co.uk/mm/index.html and http://www.msapiro.net/mm/. These patches are designed to be applied during a source install. Application to an installed Mailman, particularly a RHEL package, would at a minimum require some knowledge of the details of the patches to know what to apply to the various installed files, what new files to add, how to compile the htdig and mmsearch wrappers and so forth. The better way would be for someone familiar with the Red Hat package, the htDig patches and Red Hat packaging in general to create a Red Hat Mailman RPM with htDig integration installed and then people could just install that RPM. As far as I know, no such RPM exists. My advice is if you are not going to enable SELinux on your RHEL server, forget the RedHat Package and install Mailman from source with the patches as you did on Solaris. If you are going to enable SELinux, consider still installing Mailman from source and including the Red Hat patch you will find linked from the FAQ article at http://wiki.list.org/x/KYCB or a more recent version if you can find one, and then struggling through the security policy issues that may remain. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] problem upgrading from 2.0.11 to 2.1.8 on Solaris 9 with Python 2.4
Hi everyone, I'm updating a mailman installation which is currently 2.0.11 running under Solaris 9 on a Sun Sparc system I've compiled mailman-2.1.8 without a problem but when I went to install it, it's aborted part-way through the update process with this error: start Updating Mailman 2.0 pending_subscriptions.db database Traceback (most recent call last): File bin/update, line 789, in ? errors = main() File bin/update, line 713, in main update_pending() File bin/update, line 592, in update_pending addr = data[0].address AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'address' gmake: *** [update] Error 1 stop I made sure that the web server and mail server are turned off before trying to install the new version of the software... Could this be an unknown problem when updating from 2.0.11, or is it something more insidious - perhaps a problem with Python itself?

[Mailman-Users] 2.1 Install Issues
Hi,
My server is running Solaris 2.8 with Python 2.2.2. I just downloaded and
installed the 2.1 tarball and I've run into a few issues. Please point me
to the correct FAQ if I've done something wrong, otherwise, please add them
to the list of things to be addressed:
- Not all of the icons were copied over from the source directory into the
~mailman/icons directory during the 'make install'; only the GNU icon was,
neither the Python nor the mailman icon were.
- All of the subdirectories under ~mailman/{messages,templates} were created
with permissions 02755 instead of 02775.
- When I create a list and try to change the 'description' under the 'general
options', the change is ignored.
- When I submit any change under the 'general options', it now pops me back
to the authentication page (it didn't do this under 2.0.13).
Thanks for any guidance or updates!
David

Hank, I finally succeeded in getting python and mailman to build and install. There were a series of issues.

[Mailman-Users] What is really required to go from 2.0.x to 2.1.y?
I am almost hesitant to post this email at all, because I am so amazingly confused at what is going on I half-think I'm imagining it. I have a Mailman 2.0.12 instance (not 2.0.5 as I previously thought, sorry Mark) running on a Solaris 8 SPARC server, which I'd planned to move onto a Linux RHEL4 x86 server using Mailman 2.1.9. In both cases, Mailman would be installed into /home/mailman to minimize configuration changes. In both cases, the hostname of the server would be list.bowdoin.edu. In both cases, /home/mailman would actually be served via NFS. And, oh yeah, I'm switching MTAs too (Postfix to sendmail). So, I made a copy of /home/mailman (which is actually on a NetApp) in case I had to revert my migration from Solaris to Linux. This was my workflow on the Linux server: * mount a fresh copy of /home/mailman (which is Mailman 0.12 from Solaris) * rm -rf /home/mailman/Mailman (because I'm switching MTAs) * configure Mailman 2.1.9 using the following string: ./configure --prefix=/home/mailman --with-urlhost=list.bowdoin.edu --with-mailhost=list.bowdoin.edu --with-cgi-gid=apache --with-mail-gid=mail * run make install * watch as make install runs bin/update, it fails on a couple of lists. Remove the offending lists, re-run bin/update, watch it run successfully. * rm /home/mailman/locks/* ; rm /home/mailman/qfiles/* ; rm /home/mailman/data/pending_subscriptions.db just to make sure * run bin/check_perms -f, watch it run successfully. * run bin/genaliases, paste output into /etc/aliases, run newaliases * run bin/mm_sitepass * run bin/mailmanctl start The problem is when I run bin/list_members on a list of whose membership I know well. Amazingly, when I run that command, I see list members from around 2-3 years ago; I do not see list members whom I absolutely know are on that list. And then, well, I get so confused I can hardly stand. :) What on earth is going on here? I have seen URLs like http://acd.ucar.edu/~fredrick/linux/mailman/upgrading.html and http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg13279.html with hints for migrating server and versions at the same time; specifically running the fix_url command to update URLs for archives. But, I'm keeping the same hostname (list.bowdoin.edu) from both Solaris and Linux, so I don't bother with this. Does anyone have the faintest idea of what's going on? It's like I'm seeing a ghost. I know that copy of /home/mailman is, pre-upgrade, the same from the Sun server to the Linux server because there are unique files in there which I've placed myself. FWIW, I just made *another* copy of the /home/mailman directory from the Sun server, mounted it on the Linux server and DID NOT UPGRADE IT. Lo and behold, when I run bin/list_members, I see _correct_ users, _not old ones_. Thoughts? Am I going crazy?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman installation on Solaris 10
Hank van Cleef wrote: I went through the Mailman web page to find a download site. Going to Sourceforge offers only 2.12.rc1 unless you click stable on the first screen. I was unable to download either 2.1.11 or 2.1.12 from Sourceforge. That site links to Superb Hosting, which appears to be unresponsive. I had to get the software from the alternative GNU site. It was really slow when I just tried it, but worked eventually, You can select an alternate mirror on SF. Both of the Solaris installs include Python 2.4.4. Whether the Solaris build is something resembling a full build or not, I don't know, but will soon find out unless someone has checked this out before me. In the past, getting anything resembling a full build of Python on Solaris has been a labor of love (porting the build scripts), and I'd prefer not to have to build and install another version of Python. Configure requires distutils be available. It checks that it can import distutils.errors import distutils.sysconfig and also checks for the presence of the Python.h C header file, normally in /usr/include/pythonx.x/Python.h I see Mark Sapiro's mail about incompatibility between 2.1.12rc1 and Python 2.4. Good. My production server is running 2.1.12rc1 and Python 2.4.3 with the addition of the one patch to Scrubber.py. It is just by coincidence that a post that triggered that problem arrived the same day I upgraded. Just lucky I guess. I plan to upgrade that server soon to Python 2.6.1. I've done everything but 'make install'. It's a good thing I didn't do it before installing 2.1.12rc1 or that issue would have lurked until you found it wink. My production installations have to have an archive search (not part of Mailman). In the past, we've used htDig 3.1.6, which is decidedly long in tooth, particularly as it requires gcc/g++ 2.95.3 to build (will not build with gcc 3 or above). For one installation, I'll filch the already-built binaries. I have installed htDig from CVS http://htdig.cvs.sourceforge.net/htdig/ with gcc 4.1.1. However, I'll reopen the question of a better (and currently-maintained) search engine. I'm aware of a mail list discussing using Mhonarc and Mnogosearch, but nothing since the last posts to that site (early 2006). Is there something newer and better, or is doing the porting work needed to use Mnogosearch the best alternative available? One issue with the current 2.1.9 installation is performance while searching archives with htDig. We currently have 5gb of archives, and archive searches are very popular with our listers. I have picked up the patches for htDig-Mailman integration for 2.1.11 and assume I'm on my own for 2.1.12, for the present. The patches will apply with some 'offsets' and one 'fuzz'. If you want a set that applies clean you can get them at http://www.msapiro.net/mm/index.patch.2.1.12 and http://www.msapiro.net/mm/htdig.patch.2.1.12 (mirrored at http://fog.ccsf.edu/~msapiro/mm/index.patch.2.1.12 and http://fog.ccsf.edu/~msapiro/mm/htdig.patch.2.1.12) There are also two other patches in that directory named 'nightly_htdig' and 'rundig' which apply after the first two and which implement updating the htDig database when possible instead of rebuilding it from scratch every time. Unless somebody tells me otherwise, I'll assume that I'm the first installing 2.1.12 on Solaris 10. That will go on the later (current rev) machine. Worth noting that on Solaris 10 10/08, it appears that sun has included the Studio 12 development system, with the c compiler in /usr/bin/cc. While our old nemesis, the BSD stub /usr/bin/cc is still there, a PATH that has /usr/bin before /usr/ucb should find a working cc. The config.pck files currently on the production system are for 2.1.9. If I build 2.1.11 and 2.1.12 as fresh builds and installs (no upgrade) and later copy my 2.1.9 config.pck files into them, will Mailman detect and correct the configuration? Yes. It will detect that they are old and convert them on the fly. In theory, it will even convert config.db files from Mailman 1.x, but I won't guarantee that that one is error free. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

I have installed and configure mailman 2.0.11 and I am trying to
upgrade. I have stoped the old mailman version before I try to install
the newone but that still won't work.
Any thoughts???

This looks line a python installation problem and not a Mailman specific
problem.
pwd is a standard python module used to access the password database on
Unix systems and the error message you are getting is python saying that
the module cannot be imported.
You can confirm (or deny) this proposition by running python from the
command line and trying to use pwd. For instance on my test system I get:
[testsys!/u/barrett]:python
Python 1.5.2 (#12, Oct 15 1999, 16:24:36) [C] on sunos5
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
import pwd
pwd.getpwnam('barrett')
('barrett', 'x', 500, 101, 'Richard Barrett', '/u/barrett',
'/usr/local/bin/bash')
pwd.getpwnam('mailman')
('mailman', 'x', 601, 601, 'Mailman Maillist Manager account',
'/u/mailman', '/usr/local/bin/bash')
If you get an import failure after typing the import pwd line then you need
to look to your python installation for the problem.

used solaris make and gnu make (3.80). Python is a freshly installed Python 2.2.2.
Compiler is gcc 2.95.3. There is no Mailman installed on the system yet.
It seems to me, that there might be a Python syntax error in bin/update, but since I
don't know Python, I'm not sure about it.
Any hints, where the problem could come from or where I could start to look for a
solution?
Thanks in advance

Could this be an unknown problem when updating from 2.0.11, or is it something more insidious - perhaps a problem with Python itself? I'm not sure if this is a Mailman issue or if there is some specific problem with your data/pending.db file. I would have to research the actual pending.db format for 2.0.11 to answer this for sure, but I think Mailman is OK. update is trying to convert a pending subscription request from 2.0.11 format to the current pending.pck per list format and at the point of the error, data[0] is supposed to be a UserDesc instance and it is a string. If you are willing to abandon any unconfirmed subscribe, unsubscribe, address change or delivery re-enable requests or confirmation of held messages (I think they'll still be in the admindb web interface), you can just rename or move aside the data/pending.db file and rerun 'bin/update' which is the only part of the install that didn't complete. The machine used to have Python 2.2 installed but before starting the mailman upgrade I upgraded Python from 2.2 to 2.4. Maybe backing that out by re-installing Python 2.2 will help?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Linux Preferred?
The esteemed Brad Knowles has said: on 1/27/09 9:07 AM, Tim Ferguson said: Is there a preferred flavor of Linux that Mailman seems to work and install the best with? I'm trying Ubuntu, but the apt-get feature is getting hung up on trying to find the repositories and can't, so, until I get that fixed I just thought I'd ask. If you're installing from our source, then most any recent version of Linux should work fine. If you're installing from someone else's binary packages, then you are dependent on the person doing the packaging -- they have to keep up with our releases, back-port patches, etc On python.org, where we host all the official mailman-* mailing lists, Debian works just fine. But we run the version from our own source, and not the binary packaged version. I have to put in another plug for building Mailman from sources vs. doing a prepackaged install built by somebody else. I have just built and installed Mailman 2.1.11 and 2.1.12rc1 on Solaris 10 following the installation guide at http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/index.html If you've got an appropriate Python installed and have a compiler on the build machine, actually configuring, building, and installing the Mailman application is the easiest part of the job. The remainder are very straightforward systems administration tasks to get the mailman account set up properly and get correct permissions on everything. We also built Mailman 2.1.9 on a Debian machine a couple of years ago. Another guy did the work and had problems because he did not follow the Installation Guide completely. I was asked to audit and correct things, which involved no more than correcting group name and permissions as outlined in the Installation Guide. I have always been an advocate for building from source rather than using prepackaged as the default choice for add-on programs. Only when I trust a pre-built package (as with the sendmail and bind in the Solaris distribution) do I use a prepackaged version.

Hi all, We are attempting to install mailman on a solaris 8 box. We installed python via a package from sunfreeware.com and compiled and installed mailman from source. However when we try to access the admin script, we get the following error: admin(11198): [- Traceback --] admin(11198): Traceback (most recent call last): admin(11198): File /usr/local/mailman/scripts/driver, line 80, in run_main admin(11198): import Mailman.pythonlib.cgi admin(11198): File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/pythonlib/cgi.py, line 35, in ? admin(11198): from StringIO import StringIO admin(11198): ImportError: cannot import name StringIO admin(11198): [- Python Information -] which is a complete mystery to us, a web search and a search of the archives reveals that this problem has been reported before in 2001 but no solution was provided, just the question. Has anyone got a suggestion for how we can resolve this? What are we doing wrong?

You can, on a mandrake box, just do: root# urpmi mailman and it should go find the latest integrated version and install it, nicely integrated with postfix. However, that might not work for you, since your server might be running some other flavor of Linux, one of the BSD family, a commerical unix like Solaris, AIX, HP/UX or Tru-64, maybe a nice old VMS box, maybe Novell, or even some hideous code that sprang unbidden from the depths of Redmond Washington. And even if we knew which OS you were running, we wouldn't know if you were running sendmail, postfix, exim, qmail, pmdf, groupwise, cc:mail or exchange as your MTA.

Incidentally, if the problem is just one of access to a unix machine, the Systers group had a really nice little set up where they had a linux virtual machine, running mailman, set up to run in virtualbox. That meant we could do testing on all the laptops: mac/windows/solaris/etc. I totally understand if you don't have time to learn all this stuff, but if you're willing to learn, you can install virtualbox (http://www.virtualbox.org/), get a linux vm (or install one yourself -- I usually recommend Ubuntu for a quick and easy install), and install Mailman. It's a bit time consuming, but it's not actually as hard as instructions make it sound, generally speaking. There may be some instructions or links to the vms we were using here (or elsewhere in the systers wiki): http://systers.org/systers-soc/doku.php/getting_started With all your testing experience, it'd be totally awesome if you could grab the new mailman 3 alpha and test that! And at worst, if you don't manage to get it running, you're still testing the instructions and that's still totally useful. :) Terri -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

[Mailman-Users] Integrating Sendmail and Solaris (installation guide)
Mailman, in its default configuration, readily integrates with a properly-configured sendmail installation. The discussion below gives specific file locations for a Solaris 9 installation. Solaris 10 locates the sendmail control file sources in /etc/mail/cf rather than /usr/lib/mail/cf. Locations of the sendmail executable and ancillary files are compile-time options for sendmail, so you will need to determine file locations for your specific installation. In our discussion, we also assume that the sendmail MTA that communicates with the Internet backbone and Mailman are installed on the same node (same hardware box). Steps required for a Mailman-sendmail integration: 1. Enable smrsh. Creating the directory links was covered in the previous installation step. In addition, assure that the link to the smrsh program is declared in main.mc. (/usr/lib/mail/cf/main.mc on a Solaris 9 system). FEATURE(smrsh, /usr/lib/smrsh)dnl 2. For each list that you create, you need to add a set of alias pipes to the aliases file (typically /etc/mail/aliases) and run the newaliases program (/usr/sbin/newaliases). If you are following this guide for an initial Mailman installation, you will not be creating lists until later steps. Mailman will give you the alias information when you create a list. Additionaly, the $(prefix)/bin/genaliases script will generate all of aliases needed for all lists that have been created to stdout. These are in the correct format for the sendmail aliases file. 3. Set up sendmail masquerading to correspond to the Mailman configuration. For example, if your installation is on a machine known as myhost.mydomain.net and you create a list to receive mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED], you will need to masquerade as mydomain.net. You will also need to masquerade the sending envelope as well. In its simplest form, the statements in main.mc for doing this are: MASQUERADE_AS(`mydomain.net')dnl FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl 4. Add the masquerade address to /etc/mail/local-host-names. For the example above, the local-host-names file must have: mydomain.net The above four items cover the basics needed to integrate Mailman with a simple sendmail installation. Except for the need to enable smrsh and to install piping aliases, virtually everything surrounding a Mailman installation supported by the sendmail MTA is specific to sendmail, and some of the above is abstracted from sendmail documentation. This documentation includes: The README included in the sendmail source distribution from http://www.sendmail.org/ Costales, Bryan: Sendmail, 3rd edition, O'Reilly, 2002 This is commonly referred to as the bat book. Costales, Bryan: Sendmail 8.13 Companion, O'Reilly, 2006 Additional resources are the web site and sendmail faq at: http://www.sendmail.org/ Usenet newsgroup comp.mail.sendmail For convenience, we include comments here on sendmail configuration considerations that often come up on the mailman-users list. References are to Costales, Sendmail. A general guiding principle when working with sendmail is to keep it simple. In particular, configure and test your sendmail installation thoroughly, with user accounts running simple MUA's such as elm or mutt, before expecting sendmail to work with Mailman. Virtually all of the problems users encounter with sendmail are visible to simple MUA testing. In particular, do ALL of your sendmail configuration through the M4 macro files, rather than attempting to read and edit the .cf files. Since your M4 files will quickly become site-specific, we recommend copying the the full M4 setup to a local directory, and managing the configuration from there. This will prevent a sendmail upgrade from overlaying your site's configuration, something that has historically been a problem to Solaris users, where a sendmail upgrade is included in a patch cluster. Management of sendmail .cf files through the M4 files is discussed in Sendmail chapter 4. Virtual Domain handling: This refers to the case where a server at mydomain.net handles mail for otherdomain.com. The authoritative DNS for otherdomain.com is set with A and/or MX records pointing to the same IP as that for mydomain.net. Handling this in sendmail is straightforward. Masquerading is covered in detail in Sendmail section 4.4, pp160ff. However, the discussion does not give a complete main.mc file masquerading configuration, which we include here for convenience: MASQUERADE_AS(`mydomain.net')dnl FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain')dnl FEATURE(`limited_masquerade')dnl LOCAL_DOMAIN(`mydomain.net otherdomain.com')dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`mydomain.net')dnl In short, you include all of the domain names you are handling, but only specify masquerading for domains where you need a nodename removed from the canonical name. You also need to add the additional domain(s) to /etc/mail/local-host-names; each domain name on a separate line. Note that local-host-names is actually
