Hi, I'm still having trouble with installing Mailman. The original error is as follows:
Mailman CGI error!!! The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being stored in your syslog: Failure to lookup via getgrgid() the group info for group id -1 that this Mailman CGI wrapper is executing under. This is probably due to an incorrectly configured system and is not a Mailman problem I listed some responses to questions people on the list asked. I think there's a system configuration problem, but I'm not sure if it's with my users or groups or apache config etc. I'd really appreciate the help. I'm also willing to perform a brute force solution.
