Because the admin directory is no longer included, the www directory isn't
either, and that's where the generated docs used to live. So now, make this
directory include the generated docs, removing the old IPC7 and LISA-98
directories, and the .tex source files. These latter are moved to the admin
repository.

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 5, 2007.</span> +</div> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +</body> +</html> |
