Excellent! Someone else has the same problem I have. I can't offer any help,
but I can say that I've run into this problem too on two of my virtual servers
and maybe now we can track down what we have in common. My installations
are on virtual servers in chrooted environments. Can you offer some details
on the differences between your working installation and your non-working
one?
Like you, I've already installed Mailman and have successfully created working
installations. For some reason, though, my virtual installations always need
to have the permissions changed to be fairly permiscuous in order to get
things to work. I've checked the UID and GID of my working vs. non-working
installations; both match. The permissions of my working vs. non-working
installations match as well.
