Is the MTA Postfix? If so, the problem is your Mailman aliases.db file is not 
owned by 'mailman' (probably by root) and --with-mail-gid=mailman should be 
correct.
        Yes, I am running Postfix. The /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases file 
showed the owner as root and group as mailman. 
        I ran: chown mailman:mailman aliases and also: chmod g+w
        This so far didn't resolve the issue. 

What does "broke the web interface" mean? If you look in apache's error log, 
there may be a group mismatch error there. Are you shure the web server runs as 
user 'apache' and not 'www-data' or something else. Try
        My web interface works now. It was a Mailman CGI Error! Message. Once I 
ran ./configure back to using apache it worked.
