Mailman 2.1.11.cp3 Bug

We received an odd email from one of our clients saying that they hit a bug in Mailman:

Bug in Mailman version 2.1.11.cp3

We’re sorry, we hit a bug!

Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs.

Upon checking, it seems that a recent cPanel upgrade changed the permissions of the Mailman folder, resulting to the error. A quick fix can be done using the command line (or via SSH to your Linux server):

chmod 02775 -R /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/

If you were helped of this post, your “Thank you!” is accepted, but your PayPal donation is better.

Interoperability at Microsoft

I attended a tech session over at the Microsoft Philippines HQ tonight, and guess what was the topic: PHP Interoperability on Windows. The session was conducted via Microsoft Office Live Meeting by Chris Ismael, who is based in Microsoft Singapore. Among the attendees are some familiar faces in the PHP Users Group Philippines.

So, what’s in store for the Open Source crowd from Microsoft. For one, it is not (or no longer) a sin to speak the “Linux” thing inside the HQ — just kidding.

Did you know that Microsoft already launched their Web Platform Installer 1.0 and 2.0 (Beta)? So basically, what are those, you may ask? They’re like “LAMP” or “WAMP” being distributed by Microsoft.

Also, Abet Dela Cruz (Microsoft Philippines) mentioned about the soon-to-be launched local Interoperability site http://www.interop.ph
