[Systers-dev] - Development Image

[kanika vats]

Hi,

You can download the VDI image from:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5582707/devimage.tar.bz2

I will be updating wiki soon but here are few necessary details:

1)The compressed file is 800 mb in size but later on it will require atleast
4 gb of hardisk space.It consists of Ubuntu 8.04 with Systers Mailman
Installed.

2)The first user I created during installation was kanika (I wanted to
change it to a more generic name like 'systers' later on after successfully
running Mailman,but then this would have changed the host name at many
places too).Similarly the laptop name is also kanika :D(sry you can change
it according to your convinience later on).There are two users in the system
kanika(first user created during installation) and fmaster(who is the owner
of the site-wide mailling list of Mailman).

3)The password for everything(Mailman or User account paasword) is reset123.

4)Wherever Domain name was required I placed laptopname.networkname as my
Domain name.So you will find things like kanika.rt2561_1 where 'kanika' is
the laptop name and 'rt2561_1' was my network name.So one necessary change
to get Mailman running at your place will be to  replace 'rt2561_1' with
your network name. The files where you will need to make above change will
be:


   - /etc/postfix/main.cf
   - /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py
   - /etc/hosts

Make sure to do :


   - /etc/init.d/postfix reload
   - /etc/init.d/mailman stop
   - cd /usr/local/mailman
   - sudo bin/check_perms
   - sudo bin/check_perms -f
   - /etc/init.d mailman start

after making changes in above mentioned files.Mailx is installed and you can
use that for sending mails locally from system users to Mailman.Wherever
email-id is asked you can simply write username at domainname.For eg: Since
kanika is one of the users her email-id will be
kanika at kanika.rt2561_1according to present configuration.The first
kanika you see in email-id is
the username and second one is the laptop name which as told above is the
part of domain name (laptopname.networkname).

Goodluck and let me know If further problems show up ;>

Thanks
