Hi Mark,


As you have asked this question "- do you get this error on any of Mailman's 
CGIs or just when you do an archive search?"



Ans: Yes I get the "Mailman CGI error!!!" when I do an archive search.





When I changed the permission of mmsearch in /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/ , I 
got below error as a Bug.



from

-rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 23096 Jan  8 02:30 mmsearch

To

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root apache  23096 Jan  8 02:30 mmsearch



And tried to access http://maymailman.net/mailman/mmsearch/testlist ( just when 
I do an archive search)



"Bug in Mailman version 2.1.12



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.



"



Can you please suggest the current stable version on Mailman?



Thanks

Pradeep

This error is explained mor fully in the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/4030645>

That's irrelevant. The message is telling you that the wrapper at 
/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/mmsearch (and probably all the others - do you get 
this error on any of Mailman's CGIs or just when you do an archive search?) has 
been compiled to expect to be invoked by the web server running as group 
'apache', but the web server is invoking it as group 'mailman'.



In any case, the actual effective grout under which the CGI runs is 'mailman' 
because the wrappers are all SETGID and group 'mailman'.



It seems you may have something like



Group mailman



in your apache config. To make Mailman CGIs work, you need to either set the 
Group in apache to 'apache' or re run Mailman's configure and make install with 
the --with-cgi-gid=mailman.
