Hi everyone, My name is Karen and I've just set up a Virtual Dedicated Linux server via Godaddy. I want to run Mailman for a litserv community that has decided to flee one of the many VT listservs they have so kindly hosted over the years. The list has gone down too many times and the feeling is we'd like a listserv under our own control.
So, here's one of my first questions. Since I've never administrated a listserv before and don't have any experience with Mailman, is there anyone else on this list who is also using Godaddy's Virtual server hosting plan who can give me some pointers? I called GoDaddy yesterday and I was told that unless I pay for an Assisted Service Plan (which is expensive!!!!!), they don't offer support for Mailman. Even though one can enable it via their Simple Control Panel and set up a list via that control panel. However the list I set up only allowed me to name it thus far. I didn't see a place where I could add email addresses to start testing my first list with a few other people. And when I used Putty to SSH into my new server, I couldn't determine where Mailman's install directory was. Any ideas? A little bit of background on me...I'm a web developer and I've programmed in Python before. I'm familiar with PHP, MySQL, TCL, Javascript, etc. However, not a lot of Linux or SysAdmin experience aside from navigating the file structure and unpacking and archiving things. I'm a quick learner though and excited about learning Linux and Mailman. I can read manuals and can figure out what commands I need to issue on the cmd line once I figure out what I need to do configuration wise (if anything) with GoDaddy. If someone has written any documentation out there on GoDaddy's set up, Simple Control Panel (like should I just upgrade to Plex for $10 more a month?) and Mailman, aside from the scant info I found in their Help area (which all deals with the Plex control panael...not the Simple Control Panel), then I'd be grateful for a link or any advice at all. Thanks!
