History

Some years ago (2.5) I have published a how-to in the forum http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=27460.0 for install mharc mailist web publisher in sme6. Now I have found a little but good app to do the same: publish ezmlm archives on the web beautify.

Installation

Of course you must have installed and configured ezmlm as described here: Ezmlm

If you do not have the Dag repository configured you should do so:

You need to activate the Dag reposity before installing this contrib.

see dag repository


Install the perl dependancy:

yum --enablerepo=dag install perl-Mail-Box perl-User-Identity perl-TimeDate perl-Email-Simple perl-Plucene perl-KinoSearch

Install ezmlm-www:

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install perl-Mail-Ezmlm-Archive smeserver-ezmlm-www

Configuration

I have explain the basic steps to run ezmlm-www. You can read the README file under /opt/mailinglist to customize your list.

Open the file config.pm and replace the string PUT_YOUR_LISTNAME_HERE with the name of your ezmlm list.

And say as README file configure the following parameters:

==> name
Full e-mail address of list
  
==> local_part
Chars that comes before che '@' sign in list address.
  
==> host_part
Chars that comes after che '@' sign in list address.
  
==> description
Verbose description of list (for indexing purposes).
  
==> archive
Mail::Ezmlm::Archive object, specify list path.
  
==> conceal_senders
Set this to 1 (otherwise to 0) if you want domains to be replaced by 
'...' in e-mail addresses to prevent spammers to read them.
  
==> subscription_info
Set this to 1 (otherwise to 0) if you want some info about 
subscribing and unsubscribing to be put on main list page.
  
==> default_sorting
This may be 'thread', 'date' or 'subject'.
  
==> descending_by_default
Set this to 1 (otherwise to 0) if you want threads to be listed in 
descending order by default.
  
==> show_html
Set this to 1 (otherwise to 0) if you want to display HTML messages.
  
==> highlight
Set this to 1 (otherwise to 0) if you want to highlight parts of messages.
such as replies, signatures, URLs.
  
==> show_inline_images
Set this to 1 (otherwise to 0) if you want to display inline images
instead of just a link.
  
$lang must be 'br', 'en', 'es', 'de', 'no', 'pt' or 'it' depending on your chosen language.

Access at http://yourserver/mailinlist and see if run ok.

Open the file ez_indexer.pl under search directory and change the string PUT_YOUR_LISTNAME_HERE with the name of your ezmlm list, as above.

Now launch ez_indexer.pl from the command line to index your existing messages (it may take a while!) to use the search function:

/opt/mailinglist/search/ez_indexer.pl --create --verbose

And then add it to crontab. Create a file named ezw-search and add this content:

#!/bin/bash
cd /opt/mailinglist/search
./ez_indexer.pl --update

Save and correct perms:

chmod 755 ezw-search
chown root.root ezw-search

Then move under /etc/cron.hourly

Note that indexing is done incrementally, so it will be faster when just updating.

The End

This app can run with mod_perl, but I can't do it. Please, read the readme file, and if you can, please tell me howto, and then I update the package.

This is my first RPM package. If you have found a bug, please tell me about that.
