Any working GNU Mailman installs with XAMPP for Windows?

Hello,

I'm trying to hack up a GNU Mailman (and other stuff--XAMPP, phpbb, Moodle, postNuke, mail server, etc) configuration on my laptop as a testing/staging area for my srever with the same stuff.

So far I'm able to get everything to work ok (even the mail server with Mercury Mail packaged in XAMPP) except for the GNU Mailman stuff. I can build it ok but I'm having trouble getting the mailman account to login properly and some other stuff (that seems minor).

Before I proceeded, I thought I would post here to see if anyone else has had experience doing this??

Excellent. Did you use any specific instructions/procedures to install your Windows-based Mailman? I am using:

http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.p ... 05.002.htp

...and I have yet to get a successful load. I am trying to load on Windows XP (with cygwin, of course), not sure XP will be a problem or not. I'm having trouble getting my mailman/mm acocunt/group to work--I can't seem to login/su to the mailman user.

I also notice that Mailman 2.1.5 involves a different load procedure then what is noted in the link above.
