Mark, What does "ls -ld /var/lib/mailman/archives/private" show? Answer: "drwxr-x--- 6 root mailman 160 June 22 13:50 /var/lib/mailman/archives/private"
What does "ls -l /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/create" (assuming that's the correct path to the create wrapper) show? Answer: I have no directory called "create" in the /var/lib/mailman/ directory structure Thanks, Bob Perez >>> From: Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> To:Bob Perez <[email protected]> CC:<[email protected]> Date: 6/24/2012 7:37 AM Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Error on attempt to create a List in Mailman 2.1.7-15.12.1 from Mailman Web admin UI On 6/23/2012 12:33 PM, Bob Perez wrote: > > I see the error in the log with the list name I try to create ("list1", etc) > admin(10317): OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: > '/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/list1.mbox' > > So looks like a permission problem.
