[Mailman-Users] Permissions on public archives (apache 403)

[Michael Berkowski]

Hi All, 

I have seen many questions related to this in the archives, and from what I
can tell, my configuration is complete and correct.  But I cannot seem to
get my public archives to be viewable.  I wonder if someone knowledgeable
could look over the following configs and point me in the right direction.
We recently upgraded to RHEL, Apache 2.0.52, Mailman 2.1.5.  We have around
80 lists, but only a handful require public archives.

check_perms returns no errors.  We do have a few virtual hosts in apache
with IP access restrictions, but mailman has no such restrictions. (Allow
from all)

All access attempts return:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /pipermail/xxxxx on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an
ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Port 80

Apache reads mailman.conf on startup.  Would it make a difference if I put
this information into httpd.conf instead?

# mailman.conf #######################
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
   # Options FollowSymlinks ExecCGI -Indexes -Includes
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

I really appreciate anyone taking the time to look these over.  Please let
me know if I forgot to include something.

Thanks much,
Michael
