Hello, I wonder if this issue(https://gitlab.com/
mailman/mailman/issues/3)
was fixed?
It was fixed actually, but it might be a problem when the files aren't
installed int the bin directory specified in the configuration.
...
I try to set up a mailing list on aws ec2(ubuntu). In the instruction(
http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/prodsetup.html), it doesn't require
to
install mailman in a virtual env. However, when I tried to run mailman start, it produces /usr/bin/python3: can't open file '/usr/bin/master': [Errno 2] No such file or directory.
Can you show us the contents of mailman.cfg that you are using?
[paths.custom]
var_dir: /home/ubuntu/mailman
bin_dir: /sbin
queue_dir: /var/spool/mailman
log_dir: /var/log/mailman
lock_dir: /var/lock/mailman
etc_dir: /etc
ext_dir: /etc/mailman.d
pid_file: /var/run/mailman/master.pid
[mailman]
layout: custom
Exception:
/usr/bin/python3: can't open file '/sbin/master': [Errno 2] No such file or
directory
...
If you are using [paths.fhs], then I guess I can imagine why this is a
problem.
@Barry: Is is wrong for the [paths.fhs] to set the bin_dir? No other
paths
configuration does this.
When you install using any tool like pip, the console scripts usually
land in
/usr/local/bin or /usr/bin depending on the distro, but using the
[paths.fhs] doesn't work in these cases because the scripts are not in
/sbin and hence the error as presented above.
thanks,
