[Mailman-Users] Mailman not creating HTML pages

Hi Marc,

Did you add the following line to your srm.conf file (for apache):

ScriptAlias /mailman/ /var/home/mailman/cgi-bin/

/var/home/mailman/cgi-bin/ is wherever you installed Mailman.

Also did you put the following in your access.conf file (again for apache):

<Directory /var/home/mailman/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>

If you missed either, you won't be able to view the web frontend.

Chris

	Mark, that's the problem I was having - I had some people offer
suggestions,
	but still haven't gotten it resolved.  I'm still using majordomo,
because I
	can't get mailman to work correctly.

	Now that there are two of us, maybe someone can get this resolved.
(I say
	this with full appreciation and no disrespect to those who tried to
help me,
	but it just didn't help.)

	Cordura IS a fashion statement.
