Now, the path is correct, but there is no mailman directory in the htdocs folder, so the warning is correct - and, to make matters worse, I *do* have this path explicitly set in the /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/lists.example.com config file, although I'm not sure why now.
And this is exactly why you get the warning.
Everything works fine...
Because
ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/"
and
Alias /pipermail/ "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public/"
are all you need
So, my question is, what should the path in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/lists.example.com be pointing to? Where *is* the mailman DocumentRoot?
Mailman neither has nor needs a DocumentRoot. Just remove it, and if you want http://lists.example.com/ to go to a mailman page, add
RedirectMatch ^[/]+$ http://lists.example.com/mailman/listinfo
to /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/lists.example.com instead.
Alternatively, you could create the /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mailman/ directory and put some appropriate index.html file in it.
