Hi,

I rebuilt mailman-2.1.5 to apply a patch (to handle UnicodeError in CodeRunner.py and ToDigest.py). AFAIK, I didn't change anything else. Now it's b0rked and I don't see why.

In a nutshell, when I go to my http://www.mydomain.com/mailman/admin/mylist, I get:

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman/logs/error'

FWIW, googling for the problem turns up a couple of other lists that are (or have been) b0rked in the same manner.

Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

David
