mailman wrapper error, help please!

[jbranden]

Hello,

i had mailman 2.1.11 working last week, but it stop sending mail to my list. after reading the fqs and trying different steps in vain, i decided to delete the mailman installation directory and re install it.

i redownloaded 2.1.11 and when i use the
 ./configure --prefix=/usr/lib/mailman --with-mail-gid=mail --with-cgi-gid=mailman
 command, i still get the wrapper error:
he Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being stored in your syslog:

"Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the CGI
wrapper script to be executed as group "mailman", but
the system's web server executed the CGI script as
group "apache". Try tweaking the web server to run the
script as group "mailman", or re-run configure,
providing the command line option `--with-cgi-gid=apache'."

after the installation.

i read post about changing the gid to list (gid=list) and even tried to changing it to apache, but in the end i cant not advance forward from this error. can any one help me?

thanks

This is not a bug. Questions like this should be posted to <email address hidden> <http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users>, and in no case should anything be posted to this SF tracker.

You need to do what the error message says:

./configure --prefix=/usr/lib/mailman --with-mail-gid=mail --with-cgi-gid=apache

(you may also want to consider the --with-mailhost= and --with-urlhost= options so you don't need to set these in mm_cfg.py)

Then
stop mailman
make install
start mailman
