FAQ
Hi Folks,

I am still having problems with my first Mailman installation. I have a
successful build of MM version 2.1.2. I have cofig'd a virtual host
with the following httpd.conf entry:

<VirtualHost 10.10.40.22>
ServerName mailman.skybuilders.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/mailman/
ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/
# Alias /images/ /usr/local/mailman/htdocs/images/
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
ServerAdmin jesse at skybuilders.com
ServerSignature email
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.shtml index.pl
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml .html .xml .py
AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl py
</VirtualHost>

I dropped a test page (index.html) at /usr/local/mailman/ to make sure
the site resolves correctly. But when I browse to
http://.../mailman/admin I get the "Mailman CGI error!!!" error page. I
have set ownership down the /usr/local/mailman tree to be for
apache:mailman. I have also run:
./configure --with-cgi-gid=apache, which hasn't help me sort out the
permissions issue.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

    check your apache error logs for clues. i have a feeling it'll be a
    permissions thing.

    hope that helps.
