The clue is in the lines:

          Exec          /mailman/*      $prefix/cgi-bin/*
      or:
          ScriptAlias   /mailman/       $prefix/cgi-bin/

For a normal apache install, you'll often have something like this either in
your httpd.conf or in a file in the conf.d directory (on RH 8 and various
versions of Mandrake):

    ScriptAlias /mailman/ $prefix/cgi-bin/
    Alias /pipermail/ $prefix/archives/public/
    <Directory $prefix/archives>
    	Options +FollowSymlinks
    </Directory>

Replace $prefix with the directory you installed mailman in, /usr/local is
the default in Mailman 2.1, though Red Hat RPMS install it in /var/mailman.

You can put the above directives in a VirtualHost block if you only want
mailman to be accessible for that virtual host.
