Mailman 3 on RHEL 7 help
Hi. I am trying to install mailman 3 on RHEL7. Docker install is not a possibility. I am trying to install it using a bundler by following https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/mailman-bundler/stable/mailman-bundler.pdf, but after logging in as mailman, I can't do virtualenv venv. It works if I login as root, but still fails during buildout.
In short, I need help. Has anyone of you guys installed mailman 3 on RHEL 7 or CEntOS 7? If so would you share me detailed instructions? Thank you in advance.

That document is quite a bit old.

Abhilash,
Thank you so much for the link. I believe I have a working mailman 3 now. However, after setting Debug to False, the django GUI turned ugly in plain html, like the css files are not being used. I have since done collectstatic which saved the static files to the project directory/static, installed uwsgi.mod_wsgi, and apache. I'm now trying to make the old GUI appear, but still no luck. I don't get any error when I start httpd, mailman or the django project. It just looks ugly still. I'm not a web person so please bear with me:
Anyway, I already added this to my httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName <myservername.myhost.com> DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" Include "/opt/mailman-suite/apache.conf" </VirtualHost>
here's the apache.conf that I included in the httpd.conf:
Alias /favicon.ico /opt/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project/static/hyperkitty/favicon.ico Alias /static /opt/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project/static
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/hyperkitty_error.log CustomLog /var/log/httpd/hyperkitty_access.log combined
WSGIScriptAlias /hyperkitty /opt/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project/wsgi.py WSGIDaemonProcess hyperkitty threads=25 python-path=/opt/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project # If using VirtualEnv #WSGIDaemonProcess hyperkitty threads=25 python-path=/path/to/project:/path/to/your/venv/lib/python2.X/site-packages
<Directory "/opt/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project"> <Files wsgi.py> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Files> WSGIProcessGroup hyperkitty Options +FollowSymlinks </Directory>
<Directory "/opt/mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project/static"> Order deny,allow Allow from all Options +FollowSymlinks </Directory>
Thank you so much for helping.
just to add:
http://myservername.myhost.com:8000 - gives me the ugly mailman interface with no CSS http://myservername.myhost.com:80 - brings me to the default index.html in /var/www/html http://myservername.myhost.com/static - gives me Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /static on this server.
Thank you.

If this is apache 2.4, you need
require all grantedinstead of
Order deny,allow

Mark,
Thank you. I tried require all granted but still no luck. Anyway, I decided not to use a separate web server. I just installed whitenoise and am using the default django/postorius mailman webserver, still with DEBUG=False, and it looks ok to me. This should be safe for production right? I like that it's less complicated to setup.
Thanks.
Mark,
I don't see anything on the error log:

Earlier you said
http://myservername.myhost.com/static - gives me Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /static on this server.
If that didn't produce anything in
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/hyperkitty_error.log
you may have a permissions or other error preventing writing the log.
