the site list is required for Mailman to start - if it's missing or "lost" you must create or find it. The list is in <prefix>/mailman/lists and is called mailman. If you don't have that, you need to create it. If it's there, then some alias or pointer is wrong.
On my server, /var/mailman/lists/mailman is a directory for the list MM 2.1.3 wanted created when we installed, and which is called "mailman." Inside that directory is:
-rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 4026 Oct 7 12:00 config.pck -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 4026 Oct 7 12:00 config.pck.last -rw-rw-r-- 1 apache mailman 29 Oct 6 16:15 request.db
Is that what you're saying needs to be recreated if it's not there, Paul? And if it's missing, wouldn't ./newlist be all that one needs to do to create it?
Or are you saying there's another file somewhere else that is the "site list"?
