[Mailman-Users] setting up mailman

[Mike Wharton]

I have added all items to mailman and http config files. I have successfully
created the list and added the alias info, however, still no luck

I have found the error log and error is as follows...

[Sun Nov 20 16:59:36 2005] [error] [client 203.10.110.78] Directory index
forbidden by rule: /home/vs1040/public_html/
[Sun Nov 20 16:59:53 2005] [error] [client 202.45.112.36] Premature end of
script headers: listinfo
[Sun Nov 20 16:59:53 2005] [error] [client 202.45.112.36] File does not
exist: /home/vs1040/public_html/favicon.ico

I have looked at the FAQ but cannot find any mention of this....

Any ideas?

If the only domain you are serving with Mailman is the '######.com.au'
domain, DEFAULT_URL_HOST should be 'www.######.com.au' and
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST should be '######.com.au'. If this is what they are in
Defaults.py (because you specified them to configure), then you don't need
anything else in mm_cfg.py. If one or both are different in Defaults.py, put
all of the following in mm_cfg.py

DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.######.com.au'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = '######.com.au'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

The various mailman related apache configuration directives can be applied
globally or just to the www.######.com.au host.

If the DEFAULT_URL_HOST and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST were not correctly set when
you created the mailman list, the list attributes derived from them will be
wrong. The usual way to fix this is with bin/fix_url.py run through
bin/withlist. The command to do this for the mailman list is

bin/withlist -l -r fix_url mailman

If they were correctly set, even if you didn't have
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() and add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST,
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) in mm_cfg.py, the list is probably OK.
