I have an apache2 server running and one of its virtual hosts is good old mailman. Up until yesterday it was working just fine but someone figured out that if they keyed a fully qualified path to a log file the contents of that log would display. The log contained email addresses that were updated by mailman.

The first thing I did was to add an Options -Index to the <directory > stanza for that particular virtual server. When that didn't work I added the same to my apache2.conf file. In all cases I restarted apache2. And, according to some google hits I found, I changed the mailman directory tree ownership to lists:lists, etc.

Now - no one can access the mailman web services as they receive the message "Bug in Mailman version 2.1.12, We're sorry, we hit a bug!"

I'm just spent several hours trying to get this back with out any luck including restoring the two files (apache2.conf and my sites-available/blah.conf files and restarting apache2).

Can anyone familiar with supporting mailman under apache PLEASE provide some pointers and/or advice?

Thanks anyone.
