#################################################################
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) install the package
|
||
|
|
The debian packages for ezmlm-web are not part of the main
|
||
|
|
debian distribution. Instead you have to use the debian repository
|
||
|
|
at systemausfall.org. Just add the following line to your
|
||
|
|
/etc/apt/sources.list:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
deb http://systemausfall.org/toolforge/debian testing main contrib non-free
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now you may simply execute the following commands:
|
||
|
|
apt-get update
|
||
|
|
apt-get install ezmlm-web
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) create user-specific suid binaries
|
||
|
|
As perl-suid is considered deprecated, you have to compile a C-wrapper
|
||
|
|
for every user of your debian system, who wants to manage his mailing
|
||
|
|
lists with ezmlm-we.
|
||
|
|
Usually you do this only for your virtual mailing list user.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
to create a wrapper, type the following:
|
||
|
|
ezmlm-web-make-suid USERNAME DESTINATION_FILE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
e.g: ezmlm-web-make-suid john ~john/public_html/cgi-bin/ezmlm-web
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3) create a user-specific configuration file (optional)
|
||
|
|
Copy /usr/share/doc/ezmlm-web/examples/ezmlmwebrc.dist to ~john/.ezmlmwebrc
|
||
|
|
and change its content according to your setup.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4) web server configuration
|
||
|
|
Adapt /usr/share/doc/ezmlm-web/examples/apache.conf.dist to your needs
|
||
|
|
and copy it to /etc/apache2/conf.d/ezmlm-web.
|
||
|
|
(for other web servers: use a similar setup)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5) access control (optional)
|
||
|
|
Configure access control for the fresh cgi binary. Maybe you can
|
||
|
|
use the htaccess.sample file in /usr/share/doc/ezmlm-web/examples as
|
||
|
|
a template.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now you should create a webusers file to define the permissions of all
|
||
|
|
possible web users. An example webusers file can be found at
|
||
|
|
/usr/share/doc/ezmlm-web/examples/webusers.sample.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See /usr/share/doc/ezmlm-web/README for details about access control.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6) testing
|
||
|
|
Now you can access the ezmlm-web interface by using your web browser.
|
||
|
|
e.g. point it to http://localhost/~john/cgi-bin/ezmlm-web
|
||
|
|
If the web interface does not look like you would expect it, then you
|
||
|
|
may have to revise your stylesheet settings (HTML_CSS_COMMON and
|
||
|
|
HTML_CSS_COLOR in ezmlmwebrc).
