[Mailman-Users] iPlanet and Mailman/Pipermail issue

[Jon Carnes]

Interesting... That error in Solaris typically means that the server cannot
find the executable that is supposed to run a CGI.  However, "pipermail"
should simply be a web alias and not a script alias.  Do you have it setup
as a CGI?

"pipermail" is generally a shortcut to ~mailman/archives/public/

It is mailman:mailman.  I opened it up with 777 and this is the error that I
get now...

	[14/Aug/2002:09:06:45] failure (10535):

	/opt/mailman/archives/public/test3/index.html (exec() failure [Exec format
error]), chroot=<none>, dir=<none>,
