Mailman login page icons and 404 error

alwaysannoyed · Feb 22, 2019

If I receive an email request to approve a list email the login page (eg [removed]"]Testlist Moderator Authentication[/URL]) does not display the icons eg src="[removed]", and once logged in they still do not display.

If however I access Mailman through cPanel (eg [removed]) then the icons display.

Because of this we have hundreds of 404 pages not found for the icons, which eats into bandwidth.

Is there any way of curing this?

I can't post the full text url of the topmost link, nor unlink the other one. I get an error message.

Hi @alwaysannoyed

Really the 404 shouldn' be occurring, to begin with, I can confirm I don't have this issue:

Can you tell me what the output of the following is?
Code:
ls -lah /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/icons

I imagine it's our club's membership secretary adding members. She and I both use Macs, if that makes a difference. All the browsers I have on desktop and laptop are missing the icons when accessing Mailman from outwith cPanel.

Hi @alwaysannoyed

You might try reinstalling mailman, the permissions in that directory look right but my assumption is something in a higher directory is incorrect if the icons aren't being displayed. You can do this by running the following:
Code:
rpm -e --nodeps cpanel-mailman
/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix

alwaysannoyed · Feb 26, 2019

Will doing that retain all the data?

cPanelLauren · Feb 26, 2019

Hi @alwaysannoyed

Yes, it will, it will not remove your lists or list data. If you want to be extra careful make a backup of the accounts with mailing lists first.

Thanks!

alwaysannoyed · Feb 28, 2019

Hmm. Didn't work! But at least the lists are intact. Think I'll just live with the problem as it's not serious and my capabilities with terminal are very limited. Attached txt file has the results.

Hi @alwaysannoyed

This is indicating there is a bigger issue:
Code:
error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Permission denied)
It's not able to get a lock on the RPM database or

Create files in /etc/ :
Code:

That's concerning on its own. Is the disk by chance full?

Far from it! And everything else seems to work ok. The mailing lists work fine.

Hi @alwaysannoyed

Do you get similar errors when trying to rebuild the RPM database? You can do this from WHM by going to WHM>>Software>>Rebuild RPM Database

Thanks!

alwaysannoyed · Mar 2, 2019

From running rpm -e --nodeps cpanel-mailman /scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix ? Yes the same.

I've also been trying to delete some unwanted log files and can't because of permissions (which shouldn't be happening). I've raised a ticket with the provider.

But after rebuilding the RPM database the icons are back!

cPanelLauren · Mar 4, 2019

Hi @alwaysannoyed

Yea, the permissions thing is definitely an issue, hopefully, your provider can help you sort it out. I'm glad rebuilding the RPM database helped bring the Icons back! Sounds like that resolved the issue?

Thanks!

alwaysannoyed · Mar 4, 2019

It resolved that issue. But like London Buses - there's always another one behind!
