[Mailman-Users] Public Archives

[Jeff Fiegel]

The problem that I am having is that when I a user select to see the 
archive when the archives are public then get the error that the page 
cannot be found...  Hence the reason why I believe that the file that is 
missing is in the /home/mailman/CGI-BIN dir ...  There is a private file 
there but not a public...


Can someone please check the /home/mailman/cgi-bin directory and tell me if 
there is a "public" file, atleast I will know if I am on the right track....
