Mailman on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/mailman/admin/mailman on this server
Kind greetings.
I am having a problem with Mailman on Ubuntu server.
I used this guide to install Mailman on Ubuntu 14.04.3: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/mailman.html.
When I try to access the Mailman website, I receive this message:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/mailman/admin/mailman on this server.
I receive this message trying to access either of these pages:
http://server/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/mailman
http://server/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailman
I can access the Apache web page on "server." Just not the Mailman pages.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Thank you.

It would help if you posted the information about this from the apache error log, but I think the issue is Ubuntu's Apache package doesn't enable mod-cgi by default.
Check /etc/apache2/mods-enabled. There should be a symlink
cgi.load -> ../mods-available/cgi.load
If it's not there, do
cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled ln -s ../mods-available/cgi.load cgi.load

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html#run-time also springs to mind.
(as a side note, Peter, do you really want /cgi-bin/ in your URIs? https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI springs to mind)

Although with a ScriptAlias, this may not be necessary (but for /pipermail/ etc probably useful).

Thanks.
There was no symlink.
I created one as per your instructions.
I am now able to access the Mailman web pages.
I greatly appreciate the help.
