It WORKS! I'm ELATED!
I'm not sure what exactly I did, except meticulously go through Kathleen's instructions ONE MORE TIME!
One hint: if you get as far as successfully creating the 'test' list but can't connect to the web portion try two things:
- make sure you have " " around the your ScriptAlias statements in httpd.conf:
Kathleen has: ScriptAlias /mailman/ /Applications/mailman/cgi-bin/ Should be : ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/Applications/mailman/cgi-bin/"
- make sure you stop/start Apache in the Sharing System Pref -- so simple, yet so deadly!
I want to thank everyone one both the web-development and mailmanusers lists for all your help and Kathleen for some really great instructions!
Now, is there a way to SEARCH on mailman archives? I don't see it as an option in pipermail ... I'll bet there's a FAQ about this though so I'm going to Google it.
Enjoy!

Is anyone here using Mailman on OS X? I've followed the instructions put together by Kathleen Webb at <http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg12599.html> but keep getting this when I try to create a 'test' list:
[ibb-80:~] mailman% /Applications/mailman/bin/newlist Enter the name of the list: test Enter the email of the person running the list: bw@his.com Initial test password: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Applications/mailman/bin/newlist", line 220, in ? main() File "/Applications/mailman/bin/newlist", line 169, in main mlist.Create(listname, owner_mail, pw) File "/Applications/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 782, in Create Utils.MakeDirTree(os.path.join(mm_cfg.LIST_DATA_DIR, name)) File "/Applications/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py", line 265, in MakeDirTree os.mkdir(made_part, perms) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Applications/mailman/lists/test' [ibb-80:~] mailman%
I could sure use some hints on what might be wrong.
Thanks.
