[Mailman-Users] Webserver access problems (Permission denied on config.db)

[Frank Thommen]

Hi,

I have problems with access permissions from the webserver to the mailman
list database:

admin(24095): IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/home/mailman/MLM/lists/mytestlist_1/config.db'

The mailman directory is NFS shared (rw) to the webserver (apache 1.3.11,
Solaris 2.6.1).  The "newlist" script creates all files with ownership
mailman:mailman.  Most of them are world-readable, but not the config.db
file, which has permissions 660.  Therefore it is not readable by the httpd
(which runs as httpd:httpd) and the *whole* mailman-webinterface breakes.

Is there a solution to this problem which does *not* require to change
access permissions of all lists files manually after each "newlist"?

I am grateful for every hint.

    frank
