17891 – Apache produces a 403 FORBIDDEN error after Mailman emerge and apache.conf is updated...

After emerging apache, postfix and mailman (masked), I encountered a 404 
Forbidden error.  I had run /var/mailman/bin/check_perms -f several times to no 
avail, so realized that it was an apache configuration problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge mailman, do not change mailman.conf in /etc/apache/conf/addon-modules
2. remove quotations from the ScriptAlias and Alias lines in mailman.conf
3. go to http://localhost/mailman/listinfo

Actual Results:  
404 forbidden error

Expected Results:  
Should have taken me to mailman listinfo pages

The /etc/apache/conf/addon-modules/mailman.conf setup is incorrect.  There 
should not be a <IfDefine> function to start the configuration at all.

I have posted an edited copy of what I am using and it works:

/etc/apache/conf/addon-modules/mailman.conf

 ScriptAlias /mailman/ /var/mailman/cgi-bin/

        <Directory "/var/mailman/cgi-bin/">
                AllowOverride None
                Options None
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>

        Alias /pipermail/ /var/mailman/archives/public/

        <Directory "/var/mailman/archives/public/">
                AllowOverride None
                Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>
