Sorry for the newbie question...can anyone help me interpret this? I just installed Mailman 2.1 on OS X with postfix using a combination of directions off the web.
Everything seems to install fine, but when I create a new list I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/newlist", line 219, in ? main() File "bin/newlist", line 160, in main mlist.Create(listname, owner_mail, pw) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 437, in Create self._full_path = Site.get_listpath(name, create=1) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Site.py", line 59, in get_listpath _makedir(path) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Site.py", line 34, in _makedir os.makedirs(path, 02775) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/os.py", line 203, in makedirs mkdir(name, mode) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/mailman/lists/test'
It seems to be some sort of permissions problem but as far as I can tell I have proper permissions on everything, and check_perms reveals no problems.
Best regards, Ed

I would first check the id you are using when you run newlist from the command line and if it isn't mailman is that id a member of the mailman group. check_perms will normally have given mailman:mailman write permissions over the list directory.
