[Mailman-Users] Problem to install mailman from source

[Kai Behncke]

Dear list,

after the problem I had yesterday in getting to run mailman-lists I try to install it now from source.
I use Debian 4.0 and mailman.2.1.19

In the directory /usr/local/mailman/mailman-2.1.19 I run as root:

"./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mailman --with-mail-gid=mailman --with-cgi-gid=www-data  --with-mailhost=www.tourismus-osnabrueck.de --with-urlhost=www.tourismus-osnabrueck.de"

after that a make and a make install, everything seems to be fine.

But: If I look then in /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py

there are no special entries, it looks like:

"""This module contains your site-specific settings.

>From a brand new distribution it should be copied to mm_cfg.py.  If you have already have an mm_cfg.py, be careful to add in only the new settings you
want.  Mailman's installation procedure will never overwrite your mm_cfg.py
file.

The complete set of distributed defaults, with documentation, are in the file
Defaults.py.  In mm_cfg.py, override only those you want to change, after the

  from Defaults import *

line (see below).

Note that these are just default settings; many can be overridden via the
administrator and user interfaces on a per-list or per-user basis.

"""

###############################################
# Here's where we get the distributed defaults.

from Defaults import *

##################################################
# Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line.
---------------------------------------------------

Because of that (it seems) my mailman does not run.
How can this be???


Thank you very much, Kai
