Re: Mailman and obhttpd

Thanks very much for your reply. I had tried that exact line but when
I ran obhttpd -n I kept getting a syntax error on line 12. That's the
line that has
root { "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/", strip 1 }   When I changed the
line to root "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/" the sytax error went away.
Could it be that the FreeBSD version of HTTPD doesn't support all the
options that the OpenBSD version does?
