The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Ulisse" <address@concealed>]

Pardon my language. I' m italian and i do not speak french.

I have attempted to install sympa in a server that use Plesk 7.5.2 Reloaded.

All sound good in configure and make procedure but with make install i have the same permission error using  Sympa-4.1.3 - January 31 2005  and Sympa-5.0b.1 - January 12 2005 .

$ make
$ make install

A permission chown error.

I do not understand. I'm entering commands such us root.

What i have to do to avoid this permission error in installation ?

I have attempted the stupid command [root@meta99 home]# chown sympa:sympa -R sympa but it result in a error :

 

[root@meta99 home]# chown sympa:sympa -R sympa
chown: `sympa:sympa': invalid group
[root@meta99 home]#

Another question. Plesk save the cgi-bin files for a domain here :

 

/home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain/cgi-bin/

What type of command i have to type after ./configure make and make install ? I have to copy some cgi-bin files here : /home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain/cgi-bin/ ?

After ./configure make and make install what ihave to do ?

 

P.S. I'm not an expert. Only a newbie. ...
