Hi,

First of all, thanks for putting your efforts and releasing this great component. Very useful, indeed.

I installed the component (com_mailinglist-1.0.0.zip) and the plugin (plg_mailinglistupdater-1.0.0.zip), then tried to configure the former but had no luck.
Error msg in back-end: Unable to validate your Mailman server. Please enter correct settings.

I checked the logs, then realized that my open_basedir setting in php.ini was causing it. Is there a way to make this component work and still leave that setting on ? Securing Joomla and the server is a though task.
Error is:

[error] [client A.B.C.D] PHP Warning: curl_setopt() [<a href='function.curl-setopt'>function.curl-setopt</a>]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /var/www/web4/web/administrator/components/com_mailinglist/lib/mailman.php on line 986, referer: www.somedomain.com/administrator/index.p...st&task=settings

I set it off just to see if I could get this running, and I'd come back to that later. After setting open_basedir off, I still get an error, but a different one:

[error] [client A.B.C.D] PHP Notice: Undefined property: AdminMailingList::$cookie_file in /var/www/web4/web/administrator/components/com_mailinglist/lib/mailman.php on line 984, referer: www.somedomain.com/administrator/index.p...st&task=settings

I'd really appreciate some help with this, as this is a component I've been waiting for.

Thank you !

Anyone?

Hi ./w,
The second error you report there is actually a PHP Notice. In this particular case it shouldn't be there (and will be fixed in the next version of the component) but it shouldn't affect how the component works.

When you load/use the component backend, what happens? Do you see any kind of error message?

Hi,
First, thanks for this great component.

i have the same problem as ./w : PHP Notice:

...Undefined property: AdminMailingList::$cookie_file in /SERVERPATH/administrator/components/com_mailinglist/lib/mailman.php on line 984

I cannot save the settings in the component backend. I get this: "Unable to validate your Mailman server. Please enter correct settings."

This error only show up if the mailman host is an apache virtual host. The component works as expected if i configure the mailman web service not as a vhost.

can you fix this? I really need the virtual host setup.
Thanks in advance.

Hi markus,
As I said above, the PHP Notice will not cause anything to break (as it is just a notice).

As to your vhost problem: setting up Mailman in a virtual host w/ apache will not cause any problems with the component. I can confirm that I have tested the component throughly using mailman set up in a vhost. Be sure to check that your mailman install is accessible by your webserver (and you don't have a firewall blocking the traffic or similar).

Hi,

same problem here, getting this error message in the backend when opening the component.

This leeds to the situation, that the mailinglists are not shown and though the component cannot be used.

Any chances, that this problem will be solved?

Best regards,
Ricardo Cristof

//EDIT:
me stupid. Yes, the existing lists are shown after clicking "add existing". Sorry, pal! So, the conclusion is right: the error seems not to affect the component working.
