[Mailman-Users] Question About Location of cgi-bin Scripts

[Barry Finkel]

I am still playing with/testing mailman.  I have a problem with the
web interface.  I have this directory:

     zeus% pwd
     /opt/mailman/cgi-bin
     zeus% ls -al  
     total 840
     drwxrwsr-x   2 wwwect   mailman      512 Apr 25 15:06 .
     drwxrwsr-x  13 root     mailman      512 Apr 25 14:52 ..
     -rwxr-sr-x   1 wwwect   mailman    38832 Apr 25 15:06 admin
     -rwxr-sr-x   1 wwwect   mailman    38836 Apr 25 15:06 admindb
     -rwxr-sr-x   1 wwwect   mailman    38836 Apr 25 15:06 confirm
     -rwxr-sr-x   1 wwwect   mailman    38832 Apr 25 15:06 create
     -rwxr-sr-x   1 wwwect   mailman    38844 Apr 25 15:06 edithtml
     -rwxr-sr-x   1 wwwect   mailman    38844 Apr 25 15:06 listinfo
     -rwxr-sr-x   1 wwwect   mailman    38836 Apr 25 15:06 options
     -rwxr-sr-x   1 wwwect   mailman    38836 Apr 25 15:06 private
     -rwxr-sr-x   1 wwwect   mailman    38832 Apr 25 15:06 rmlist
     -rwxr-sr-x   1 wwwect   mailman    38832 Apr 25 15:06 roster
     -rwxr-sr-x   1 wwwect   mailman    38844 Apr 25 15:06 subscribe
     zeus%
     zeus# cd /opt/SUNWwbsvr/cgi-bin/mailman
     zeus# ls -al 
     total 26
     drwx------   2 wwwect   other        512 May  3 10:49 .
     drwxr-xr-x   4 wwwect   other        512 Apr 27 13:49 ..
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         26 May  3 10:49 admin -> /opt/mailman/cgi-bin/admin
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         28 Apr 27 13:52 admindb -> /opt/mailman/cgi-bin/admindb
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         28 Apr 27 13:52 confirm -> /opt/mailman/cgi-bin/confirm
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         27 Apr 27 13:52 create -> /opt/mailman/cgi-bin/create
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         29 Apr 27 13:52 edithtml -> /opt/mailman/cgi-bin/edithtml
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         29 Apr 27 13:52 listinfo -> /opt/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         28 Apr 27 13:52 options -> /opt/mailman/cgi-bin/options
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         28 Apr 27 13:52 private -> /opt/mailman/cgi-bin/private
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         27 Apr 27 13:52 rmlist -> /opt/mailman/cgi-bin/rmlist
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         27 Apr 27 13:52 roster -> /opt/mailman/cgi-bin/roster
     lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         30 Apr 27 13:52 subscribe -> /opt/mailman/cgi-bin/subscribe
     zeus#

I go to the web page:

     http://zeus/cgi-bin/mailman/admin

and I can see the Admin Links page without any problem.  But the
hyperlink to the Mailman list has

     http://zeus/mailman/admin/mailman

It does not have the "cgi-bin/" directory level within the URL.
I am not sure what I did incorrectly when I configured mailman.

This is a Solaris 10 system running Sun Web Server (SUNWwbsvr).
That server is configured with its cgi-bin directory in

    /opt/SUNWwbsvr/cgi-bin

and the cgi-bin scripts for mailman were installed in

     /opt/mailman/cgi-bin

so I did the following to link the two directories:

     cd /opt/SUNWwbsvr/cgi-bin
     mkdir mailman
     lndir /opt/mailman/cgi-bin mailman

Thanks.
