[Mailman-Users] web interface not working...

[Ralph Forsythe]

Ok, quick system info:  Server is a Cobalt Raq3i running Linux (glibc).  Python is version 2.0.1.  Other info, the mailman home directory is '/usr/local/mailman'.  Scriptalias and other apache config was done per the docs.

When I view the page for the list (creatively titled in this case) at the following URL, I get the message below it:
--------------------------------------------
http://xyz.xyz.com/mailman/admin/pissoff   (domain changed since this is an open list)
Bug in Mailman version 2.0.6
We're sorry, we hit a bug!
Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs.
--------------------------------------------

Now, the mailman logs don't show anything.  However the httpd error log shows the following output (below), which makes me think there is some kind of permission thing going on.  I compiled with the proper mail-gid and cgi-gid bits as far as I know...  Does anyone have an idea as to what might be causing this?  (I searched in vain in the archives, but may have missed something...)  And I did RTFM, didn't see anything like this in there.  Thanks!
