I've had mailman on my system for quite awhile, but only now am attempting to use it. Following the Debian README, I have tried to access it with http://localhost/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo but I get a 404 error (file not found).
I have apache on my system, and its homepage appears when I enter localhost in a browser. But, as with mailman, I've made no effort to configure it. I have a little firewall set up--I wonder if it's getting in the way. There is a directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/ with stuff under it, including listinfo. Some other clues my apache setup might be the problem: *The homepage for apache (that is, the default one Debian provides) has no graphics on it, but indications of missing files for, eg., jeh01.gif and apache_pb.gif. May not mean much, since I'm remembering gif is non-free. *If I click on the link for local documention (it points to http://localhost/doc/apache/) I also get a file not found error. I'd appreciate any advice on how to proceed. Thanks.
