Priority: 5 Submitted By: Robin Cook (cuzndragon) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Error creating mailing list with http://URL/mailman/create

Initial Comment: I have just install mailman and everything seems to be working until I try to create a mailing list using the web interface. When I click on the create list button I get this error below. I couldn't find in in the FAQ and the archives listed was a bad link. What is set wrong?

But if I log in as mailman and run the command line utilities to create the mailing list there aren't any problems.

Bug in Mailman version 2.1.2

You either have to make sure the data/aliases and data/aliases.db files have the right permissions (as described in the README and INSTALL files) or your postfix commands aren't in /usr/sbin, in which case you need to edit those variables in your mm_cfg.py file.

IOW, this is a configuration problem, not a bug.

It doesn`t look like a bug... You just have to set proper permissions to /var/spool/mailman/data/aliases.

You have a file-persmission problem, that`s all.
