Topic: Please help!! - Problems with EZMLM

[Rien]

I'm working with the EZMLM-Mailinglist for quite a time now. It suddenly didn't work anymore so I uninstalled it and installed it again.

I use the following packages:

• e-smith-ezmlm-web-1.1.1-05.noarch.rpm
• ezmlm-idx-std-0.40-2.i386.rpm
• ezmlm-web-2.1-06.i386.rpm
• perl-Ezmlm-0.03.1-1.i386.rpm

They installed correctly but:

• Normally a directory /home/e-smith/files/EZMLM should be created. There isn't.
• I can create a new list, but when I want to add an adress, I get the following error:

A fatal error has occurred
Something you did caused this script to bail out. The error message we got was

Unable to subscribe to list: No such file or directory at /usr/bin/ezmlm-web.cgi line 481.

[/list]

What could be wrong?

I guess if the directory /home/e-smith/files/ezmlm is not there, something must have gone wrong during installation. Maybe you should install again, using the -v (verbose) option with rpm?

I get no errors when I use the -v option. That is the strange part.

Check permissions are correct on your ezmlm directories and files.

Hi Ray.

What are the right permissions (I tried ezmlm, but that also don't work).

I expected an error-message when permissions are wrong?

> What are the right permissions

You did quote an error earlier
"No such file or directory at /usr/bin/ezmlm-web.cgi line 481."

It was a suggestion for you to check.
Usually ezmlm:ezmlm
or ezmlm:admin

Try installing to a test box and you'll see the correct permissions from that.
