Icons, email and list creation oh my!

Well I spent 9 hours yesterday getting all the permissions and ownerships changed in my directories yesterday to get mailman at least showing up on the web. Now I have these issues and I am sure with the “brain trust” here can get them worked out.
- The icons are not showing up on the bottom of the Web pages. I went to an old help screen in the mailman home page to find it out dated. I typed in the directory /usr/local/apache/icons to the merriment of no such file or directory. Ok that must have been for apache 1 or something. So I need to find out where the icons are located now and where I need to put them for mailman to pick them up.
- Issue two - The email address that appears on the Welcome page for people to send mail to is wrong. It should be mail@biblematters.net <mailto:mail@biblematters.net> instead it is mail@www.biblematters.net <mailto:mail@www.biblematters.net> where do I go to get rid of the www out of the address?
- And finally, drum roll please, I can’t create a new list through the Web portal. I get an error that I am not authorized to do so. I say why not I am the one who put the bloody server together and you mean I can create a list on the thing. If I can’t then who can. Or maybe it don’t want a list but I do.
Seriously though any help you can give me will surely be appreciated. If you aren’t married I will be happy to dance at your wedding for the help.

Please provide the URL of this page so I can fix it if it's wrong or misleading.

The Icons are in Mailman's misc/ directory. Where you have to copy them is to the directory Apache looks in for /icons/ URLs. Check your Apache config.

See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/4030592>. Don't overlook running fix_url as mentioned in the "Existing versus new lists" section. (Also see <http://wiki.list.org/x/4030616>.)

Assuming you used bin/mmsitepass to set a site and/or list creator password and are authenticating with that, see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/4030613>.
