Hi!
From the documentation, the default installation path is /home/mailman. It is practical we install mailman in /home/mailman or we should install it at other location? (e.g /var/www/html) Or do you have special installation path to install mailman. I'm asking this silly question because i'm quiet confuse when other software(actually i'm trying to setup savannah) always asking me where is mailman cgi-bin path?
Thanks, newbie

The default installation path was /home/mailman in Mailman 2.0 and earlier, but is /usr/local/mailman for Mailman 2.1 and later. However, you can easily change that (using the --prefix argument to configure) and you can split off parts of the installation by using, e.g., the --exec-prefix and --with-var-prefix arguments to configure. The default paths, including the cgi-bin path, and how you can change them, are all explained in the installation manual. The cgi-bin path is {prefix}/cgi-bin by default (so, if you have Mailman 2.1 and the default $prefix, it would be /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin.)
