client denied by server configuration: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo

Hi,
Trying to get mailman to behave using this guide:https://www.howtoforg e.com/how-to-install-and-configure-mailman-with-postfix-on-debian -squeeze even though I'm on Jessie.
I get the above error in /var/log/apache2/list-error
[Thu Aug 13 09:09:10.563936 2015] [access_compat:error] [pid 30067] [client 37.196.46.254:58989] AH01797: client denied by server configuration: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo
when trying to access the mailman site, and think I've narrowed it down to the following line in the setup
ScriptAlias / /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo
as commenting it out actually displays a crippled site. Obviously this will not do. Permissions on the directory looks correct
# ls -l /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/ total 132 -rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data list 10200 Apr 6 17:45 admin -rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data list 10200 Apr 6 17:45 admindb -rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data list 10200 Apr 6 17:45 confirm -rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data list 10200 Apr 6 17:45 create -rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data list 10200 Apr 6 17:45 edithtml -rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data list 10200 Apr 6 17:45 listinfo -rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data list 10200 Apr 6 17:45 options -rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data list 10200 Apr 6 17:45 private -rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data list 10200 Apr 6 17:45 rmlist -rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data list 10200 Apr 6 17:45 roster -rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data list 10200 Apr 6 17:45 subscribe
Or at least not more fubar than the others =)
Any pointers as to where to take troubleshooting from here?

Somewhere in your apache config, maybe in /etc/apache2/conf.d/mailman, you need a
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/">
block an within that block you probably need (for apache 2.4)
Require all granted
If you have
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
that's only for older apache versions.
