From 34d6ece8a454e5d1d027ed106ba039a0a88db36d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: bwarsaw <> Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2006 18:16:07 +0000 Subject: Copy the mm21 admin directory out of the mm21 branch. We'll svn external the latter to get that back into the release, but I really don't want to maintain multiple copies of the web pages. --- admin/www/requirements.ht | 66 ----------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 66 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 admin/www/requirements.ht (limited to 'admin/www/requirements.ht') diff --git a/admin/www/requirements.ht b/admin/www/requirements.ht deleted file mode 100644 index 7226e5d7..00000000 --- a/admin/www/requirements.ht +++ /dev/null @@ -1,66 +0,0 @@ -Title: Mailman Requirements -Links: links.h download-links.h -Other-links: -

    Requirements

    - -

    Mailman currently runs only on GNU/Linux and any other Un*x-like -operating system, such as *BSD, Solaris, etc. It works on -MacOS X but not on MacOS 9. It probably does not work -on Windows, although it's possible you could get it running on a -Cygwin system (please let the developer -community know if you have success with this!) - -

    You must have the -Python -interpreter installed somewhere on your system. Currently Python 2.1 -or newer is required, with Python 2.3 or 2.4 being recommended. Mailman -should work with latest patch release on any Python branch from 2.1 to -2.4, which as of this writing (29-Aug-2006) is -Python 2.1.3, -Python 2.2.3, -Python 2.3.5, and -Python 2.4.3. - -

    Note that because Python 2.1 and 2.2 are no longer being developed, and -only critical bugs are being fixed on the Python 2.3 branch, it is recommended -that you upgrade to Python 2.4. It is possible that support for Python 2.1 -and 2.2 will be dropped in a future release of Mailman. Python 2.3 support -will most likely be maintained for the duration of the Mailman 2.1 series. - -

    Most GNU/Linux systems and MacOSX come with Python pre-installed, so you -just need to make sure you're running an up-to-date version. You can do this -by executing the following at your shell's command line: - -

    -
    -% python -V
    -Python 2.4.3
    -
    -
    - -If your Python executable doesn't understand the -V -option, it's definitely too old! - -

    You must have a mail server (MTA) that you can send messages to, and a -web server that supports the CGI/1.1 API. -Apache makes a fine choice -for web server, and MTAs such as -Postfix, -Exim, -Sendmail, and -qmail -should work just fine. - -

    You will need an ANSI C compiler to build Mailman's security -wrappers. All modern versions of the -GNU C compiler should work well. -- cgit v1.2.3
