Description
On the admin/settings/user_mailman_register page I see my list. Click the activate link and it goes to
admin/settings/user_mailman_register/edit/1
Add URL and admin password
Save
Status is still set to Deactivated.
I can access the admin URL using the password given from the lynx browser on the drupal server (same server in fact).
#1
A list is not activated if password validation mismatches,url is not a valid url (in both cases error is showed in the page) or there is a sql error.
Any error is logged in admin/logs/watchdog?
What version of mailman manger is installed?
#2
admin/logs/watchdog - only log entry for user mailman reg type is a "<my list name> settings updated"
I ssh'd to the drupal server - and then copied the URL from the settings page
lynx <url copied from drupal settings>
Then I copied the password from the drupal page - and I was logged in as the list admin.
Mailman Manager 5.x-1.1
User Mailman Register 5.x-1.3
If I try to activate while watching the apache logs for the mailman server - I see no new entries in access or error logs, ery odd.
Not sure I understand how this bit works tho - I was looking thru user_mailman_register_adminedit_form_submit() and I can see it constructing a db query to update the mailman_lists data. Then it calls this SQL and says settings updated. And - the settings I set ARE updated. Can't see anything in this function about activation though - (was going to add some debug). I can't see where the activation is actually being checked - the only ref's I'm seeing to the URL are in user subscription update and in the valid_url check - however - that would raise a watchdog error if it failed which is not present.

Activate output is done by (line 353):
<?phpif (!_user_mailman_register_list_allowed($list)) $cmd = 'Activate';
?>
_user_mailman_register_list_allowed checks for mailman url and password, and for "can subscribe to " access control.
As administrator that permission should be always true, but just to be sure, try to add it to authenticated users too.
#4
Aha - I _knew_ I must have missed a step :)
I have an admin role which several admin users have - rather than being logged in as the initial user. I had checked off all of mailman_manager and user_mailman_register - but I hadn't realised that each new list gave a new permission to be checked off :)
Your last comment gave me the hint to go check ;)
