[NTLUG:Discuss] mail list archives

[Chris Albertson]

Here is my setup. Hopefully this will help you out.
I'm on Debian.

My archives directory is in:
/var/lib/mailman/archives
Here is the directory contents:
[root at albserver 16:00:14 /var/lib/mailman/archives]
#ls -la
total 12
drwxrwsr-x  4 root list   33 2005-09-25 10:42 .
drwxrwsr-x  9 root list 4096 2006-07-21 09:56 ..
drwxrws-wx 26 root list 4096 2006-10-12 12:53 private
drwxrwsr-x  2 root list 4096 2006-10-12 12:53 public

Everything in public simply points to private. I'm not sure why they do 
this...

The alias in the http.conf file is:
Alias /pipermail /var/lib/mailman/archives/public

Tips:
Check the permissions of the public and lower folders. Make sure the 
apache user can read/execute the folders. If you look above, I have a 
list group defined. My apache user is a member of that group.

Good luck.
