Try running newlist as root. User mailman probably doesn't have the correct permissions. In theory, you could change the groups and permissions to allow this... But why bother?

I've installed Mailman on my Linux PC. I've compiled the source with the following options: ./configure --with-cgi-gid=mailman --with-mail-gid=mailman When i try to create a newlist (mailman/bin/newlist) as mailman user, the directory /mailman/admin is not created. Then I don't see the list in my web pages.Why???

Thanks
