Can anyone help me here?
Please do not hijack existing threads for new topics. Post an original message, not a reply.
The instructions you reference above are old. They reference mailman 2.1.10. The current version is 2.1.12. They are also incomplete because they don't mention creating the site list.
The error message you got says you didn't create the site list, which is normally named 'mailman', not 'mailman-admin', but in your case you have declared its name to be mailman-admin by putting
MAILMAN_SITE_LIST = 'mailman-admin'
in mm_cfg.py.
Our installation manual is in the tarball and also at <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/index.html>. See section 8.
