Committing lots of documentation updates, including linking up to the new
mailman-installation guide, and filling out the other formats that seemed to
be missing.

You've installed the Mailman software. To get everything +running you need to hook Mailman up to both your web server and your mail +system. + +<P> +If you plan on running your mail and web servers on different machines, +sharing Mailman installations via NFS, be sure that the clocks on those two +machines are synchronized closely. You might take a look at the file +<span class="file">Mailman/LockFile.py</span>; the constant <var>CLOCK_SLOP</var> helps the locking +mechanism compensate for clock skew in this type of environment. + +<P> +This section describes some of the things you need to do to connect Mailman's +web interface to your web server. The instructions here are somewhat geared +toward the Apache web server, so you should consult your web server +documentation for details. + +<P> +You must configure your web server to enable CGI script permission in the +<span class="file"><var>$prefix</var>/cgi-bin</span> to run CGI scripts. The line you should add +might look something like the following, with the real absolute directory +substituted for <var>$prefix</var>, of course: + +<P> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + Exec /mailman/* $prefix/cgi-bin/* +</pre></div> + +<P> +or: + +<P> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + ScriptAlias /mailman/ $prefix/cgi-bin/ +</pre></div> + +<P> +<div class="warning"><b class="label">Warning:</b> + +You want to be very sure that the user id under which your CGI scripts run is +<strong>not</strong> in the <code>mailman</code> group you created above, otherwise private +archives will be accessible to anyone. +</div> + +<P> +Copy the Mailman, Python, and GNU logos to a location accessible to your web +server. E.g. with Apache, you've usually got an <span class="file">icons</span> directory that +you can drop the images into. For example: + +<P> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + % cp $prefix/icons/*.{jpg,png} /path/to/apache/icons +</pre></div> + +<P> +You then want to add a line to your <span class="file"><var>$prefix</var>/Mailman/mm_cfg.py</span> +file which sets the base URL for the logos. For example: + +<P> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + IMAGE_LOGOS = '/images/' +</pre></div> + +<P> +The default value for <var>IMAGE_LOGOS</var> is <span class="file">/icons/</span>. Read the comment +in <span class="file">Defaults.py.in</span> for details. + +<P> +Configure your web server to point to the Pipermail public mailing list +archives. For example, in Apache: + +<P> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + Alias /pipermail/ $varprefix/archives/public/ +</pre></div> + +<P> +where <var>$varprefix</var> is usually <var>$prefix</var> unless you've used the +<b class="programopt">--with-var-prefix</b> option to <b class="program">configure</b>. Also be +sure to configure your web server to follow symbolic links in this directory, +otherwise public Pipermail archives won't be accessible. For Apache users, +consult the <var>FollowSymLinks</var> option. + +<P> +If you're going to be supporting internationalized public archives, you will +probably want to turn off any default charset directive for the Pipermail +directory, otherwise your multilingual archive pages won't show up correctly. +Here's an example for Apache, based on the standard installation directories: + +<P> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + <Directory "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public/"> + AddDefaultCharset Off + </Directory> +</pre></div> + +<P> +Now restart your web server. + +<P> + +<DIV CLASS="navigation"> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<p></p><hr /> +<table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> +<tr> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="4 Check your installation" + href="node9.html"><img src='previous.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="Front Matter" + href="front.html"><img src='up.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Up One Level' width='32' /></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="next" title="6 Set up your" + href="mail-server.html"><img src='next.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Next Page' width='32' /></A></td> +<td align="center" width="100%">GNU Mailman - Installation Manual</td> +<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> +</tr></table> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="prev" href="node9.html">4 Check your installation</A> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="front.html">Front Matter</A> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="next" href="mail-server.html">6 Set up your</A> +</div> +</div> +<hr /> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 13, 2004.</span> +</DIV> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +</BODY> +</HTML> |
