Hi Greg
Thanks for staying with this - here is the info you asked for:
dns1# cd /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/
dns1# ls -l
total 0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 www www 55 Dec 19 17:58 bps_comp_print_chat ->
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/bps_comp_print_chat
lrwxr-xr-x 1 www www 60 Dec 19 17:57 bps_comp_print_reminders ->
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/bps_comp_print_reminders
lrwxr-xr-x 1 www www 60 Dec 19 17:56 bps_comps_print_announce ->
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/bps_comps_print_announce
dns1#
error-log shows:
[Tue Dec 29 17:46:00 2009] [error] [client 62.49.197.50] Symbolic link not
allowed or link target not accessible:
/usr/local/mailman/archives/public/bps_comp_print_reminders
Sudden thought I had not mentioned:
This server is running SSL
(Apache/2.2.14 mod_ssl/2.2.14)
Is there any chance that could possibly affect access to the archives??
Everything else works. Incidentally /usr/local/mailman/ and its subdirectories
are on a separate physical drive to the document root which is
/usr_www/virtualwebs/vizion2000.net/
Thanks again
David
