Hullo users; I have installed mailman on slackware 14.0 and using apache 2.4.6. I am having problems with the cgi files on typing the url <ipaddress>/mailman/admin, it instead just downloads admin . i.e the cgis' dont bring up the related webpages

This is a web server question. You need to tell your web server to execute files in Mailman's cgi-bin directory, not to serve them or files in Mailman/Cgi.

What web server are you using?

In apache you need things like

ScriptAlias /mailman/ /path/to/mailman/cgi-bin/

and possibly

LoadModule cgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_cgi.so

<Directory "/path/to/mailman/cgi-bin/"> Options ExecCGI </Directory>
