• The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Mailman and SuExec.

Mailman doesnt seem to work on Plesk 7.5.3 with FC2.

After some research time I found that there are logically incompatible

configuration directivres:



1. httpd uses SUEXEC to improve security between different CGI scripts of

different users. More about this feature: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/

suexec.html


2. Suexec have hard-coded variable named 'docroot' where all cgi-scripts must be

placed in.


3. Apparently, PSA installed Mailman cgi-bin files outside of Suexec 'docroot',

this creates this problem can be seen in error log file:


==== /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.us/statistics/logs/error_log =====

[Fri Jul 29 07:14:31 2005] [error] [client 217.144.68.77] Premature end of

script headers: admin

==================================================================


more detailed information can be seen here:



=== /var/log/httpd/suexec_log ===================================

[2005-07-29 07:14:31]: uid: (10001/fawcett) gid: (10001/10001) cmd: admin

[2005-07-29 07:14:31]: command not in docroot (/var/mailman/cgi-bin/admin)



Do you see: PSA installs files to /var/mailman, and this does not match

'docroot' setting which _compiled in_ to suexec.



Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.
