Problems with Moderation

I am running mailman on OSX Lion.

Moderation through the web interface does not work.

If I try to do anything from the web interface (see screenshot) ... I can see a split second of it accessing the
server, and the screen refreshes and goes back to this default of "defer"

Just no actions at all work.

Any idea where I should look ... 

Thank you.

David

See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/ioA9> (ignore the "keeps asking
me to re-enter my password" part of the title).

Also, view the source of the page and look at the action= URL in the
form tag. Is this the same URL you see in the address bar of the
browser? If not, the issue is probably that of the web server
redirecting the URL and losing the POST data.

This can be fixed by setting DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN appropriately in
mm_cfg.py and running fix_url on the affected lists. See
<http://wiki.list.org/x/mIA9>.

Re: Problems with Moderation

Hi trying to finally follow through on this, and figure it out.

I found my DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN was missing totally in my mm_cfg.py file.

Put that in.

Then ran

python withlist -l -a -r fix_url    within the mailman/bin directory

Loaded my list, said "Locked" and then a bunch of errors.

How do I unlock the list?

David

First of all, when withlist tells you

Loading list LISTNAME (locked)

It is telling you that it loaded the list named LISTNAME and locked it
because you gave the '-l' option to withlist which tells it to lock the
list which it has to do if it's going to make any changes.

So what were the "bunch of errors"?

Note if the list is really in a locked state and withlist couldn't
acquire the lock, see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/noA9>.

'david' doesn't have permission to create the lock.

Run the withlist command as root (via sudo) or as a user in Mailman's
group. I think this may be _mailman in Apple's Mailman.
