I had a similar problem -- I think. I have Suse 9.3, stock Mailman and stock Apache2, all updated with YOU. In my case, it was first the inability for Mailman to run as the right GID, then it was the inability to read the wrapper config files (which incidentally, don't exist). Scouring the internet led me to clues that the error really meant that the GID was still wrong. Nothing I did worked. I changed the UID GID files that Mailman uses. I tweaked the mailman.conf files in /etc/apache2. I inspected mail.err logs in /var/log. I changed perms, owner, group, and access bits on everything that seemed related. Still nothing. Finally, out of sheer desperation, I reinstalled the stock Suse Mailman RPM running as the mailman user. Then I checked (and fixed) permissions issues using the scripts in /usr/lib/mailman/bin. With the mailman cgi files moved to /cgi-bin/mailman and aliased in apache's default-server.conf file (and given their own separate <Directory> section with CGI script running turned on), everything worked! I'm convinced that a reinstall is necessary to fix some permissions SOMEWHERE. I spent way too much time trying to debug it, but with mailman's lame, unhelpful error messages, there's just not much I could do. I don't use virtual servers yet, but I expect I will soon. And BTW, the error message you're currently seeing is an Apache error message.
