Make sure that you have your permissions set on the files mailman.cgi and cgi-lib.pl, so that both are executable. The exact mechanism of doing this is different on every operating system. On unix, make sure that the permissions on both files read "-rwxr-xr-x" when you do an "ls -alt". You manage this with "chmod 755 mailman.cgi cgi- lib.pl". If you're using any other OS, ask an expert on your OS. 2. Make sure that your web server understands that a file ending in ".cgi" (or .pl or whatever your copy is called) is a CGI script and that it should run "mailman.cgi" when you invoke it. If your web server isn't happy with the ".cgi" extension, feel free to rename it to ".pl" or ".runthis" or whatever makes your web server happy. If you change the extension, or even the name, of mailman, you shouldn't have to change anything else and it should just run. MailMan dynamically identifies its own location each time it runs. This one varies from web server to web server, and if you don't know how to deal with this issue, ask an expert on your web server. 3. Make sure that MailMan's templates are readable to your web server. Keep in mind that just because they are marked readable to you, they are not necessarily marked readable to your web server, since the server generally runs as a different user. In Unix, you probably want your permissions for your "t_*.htm" files to read "-rw-r--r--", which you can achieve with "chmod 644 t_*.htm". On any other OS, if you don't already know how to do it then ask an expert on your OS. 4. Make sure that MailMan's templates are located in the directory that your web server will set to the 'current' directory when MailMan runs. This will USUALLY be the same directory that the script is located in, but not necessarily. Some web servers set the current directory to places other than where the script itself is located. If you have one of these servers and MailMan runs but your templates are AWOL, consult with your sysadmin or an expert on your web server, or see section 5.7 of this FAQ.
