[Mailman-Users] Installation trouble

[marco nicolis]

hi all,
let me say I am a newbie and I have ensim on my server. Both undesireble 
characteristics, I guess. I followed the installation instruction the best 
I could but I still get errors. At the end of the installation process I 
can create the list and I get mail from the mailman. however, clicking on 
the links I get 'Internal Server Error'. I read in the troubleshooting 
section that this has likely to do with the GID settings. I don't really 
know what I am talking about, but...
as to the
    --with-mail-gid=<group-or-groups>
             Specify an alternative group for running scripts via the
             mail wrapper.  <group-or-groups> can be a list of one or
             more integer group ids or symbolic group names.  The first
             value in the list that resolves to an existing group is
             used.  By default, the value is the list `other daemon'.


I checked in the configuration file and the best I could come up with is 
mail:mail and the user apache for the cgi gid.
the check_perms script reports no error.
the group/user mailman are created and I did change the chgrp to mailman 
for the installation directory.
I believe the installation directory should be accessible by the browser 
(??) so I changed the --prefix to something else and gave the required 
permissions etc.
as to the syslog stuff, I am not sure I located it correctly on my server 
but in what I found there was no mention of an ID required and of a wrong 
one used.
Also...I manually specified the WWW and MAIL hosts before ./configure, 
since what it'd get is the domain of the server as opposed to the one of 
the site (if this makes sense...)

Would it be too much to ask if someone can take a look at this stuff?
thanks
