[Mailman-Users] 403 Forbidden Error when creating list

[Scott Loga]

I was able to find a solution in the mailing list.  It took a quite a
bit of digging, but I realized I had to reconfigure my apache httpd.conf
file.  I found two versions of this solution and since I am new to
FreeBSD,Apache and mailman I am not sure which one is correct or safe? -
although the both versions do work.  

************Version #1******************************************

ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/
<Directory /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/>
    AllowOverride None
    Options ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/
<Directory /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/>
    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory> 



*******************Version 2**************************************

>     ScriptAlias /mailman "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin"
  <Directory /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/>
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
  </Directory>
>     Alias /pipermail "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public"
  <Directory /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
  </Directory>

If anyone has any suggestions as to which solution to use, it would be
greatly appreciated.

Respectfully,

Subject: [Mailman-Users] 403 Forbidden Error when creating list

Hi, I am new to mailman and are running it on a FreeBSD 5.4 server.
Additionally, I am running Apache2 and postfix.  I have configured
mailman, apache2 and postfix according to documents, but are receiving
an 403 Forbidden error when I attempt to access
my.domain.dom/mailman/create

This is my /var/log/httpd-error.log file

[Fri Aug 05 14:03:11 2005] [error] [client 68.0.62.92] client denied by
server configuration: /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/create [Fri Aug 05
14:10:48 2005] [error] [client 68.0.62.92] client denied by server
configuration: /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/admin

It is apparent that I have a permissions issue, but I am not sure how to
correct it.  I have added the following to my  apache2 httpd.conf file

ScriptAlias /mailman "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin"
Alias /pipermail "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public"


I will appreciate any assistance or direction you could provide in
helping me correct this problem

Respectfully,

Scott Loga
