I have configured mailman following these instructions.
https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/index.html
I have run into this problem
Problem: All Mailman web pages give a 404 File not found error. Solution:
Your web server has not been set up properly for handling Mailman’s CGI programs. Make sure you
have:
1. configured the web server to give permissions to ‘$prefix/cgi-bin’
2. restarted the web server properly.
Consult your web server’s documentation for instructions on how to do check these issues.
this is my httpd.conf file
ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin
Alias /pipermail/ /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/
<Directory "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public/">
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride none
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
I would love some help here. Going on two days not being able to figure this out!
Note: I have done what it says in the error message.
Ahh, forgot that I had started using https, and was looking in the wrong error logs. Think I may have figured it out. Here is the error log file. Looks like I need to change the permissions.
