Summary: Error creating mailing list with http://URL/mailman/create

Initial Comment:
I have just install mailman and everything seems to be
working until I try to create a mailing list using the
web interface.  When I click on the create list button
I get this error below.  I couldn't find in in the FAQ
and the archives listed was a bad link.  What is set wrong?

But if I log in as mailman and run the command line
utilities to create the mailing list there aren't any
problems.

Bug in Mailman version 2.1.2

It doesn`t look like a bug... You just have to set proper permissions 
to /var/spool/mailman/data/aliases. 
 
You have a file-persmission problem, that`s all.
