Hello everybody:

I new to this list and to mailman too. Im running away from majordomo. 
Installed mailman and seems to work ok, but cant make it work with apache2. 
It worked with apache 1.??.
My search via google didnt find anything useful.
In my first attemp with apache 1.??, it didnt work but tell me about 
/etc/mailman.cgi-gid and mailman.mail.gid and i fixed them. I tried with the 
original and the set that worked with apache 1.??. Didnt work, but i think 
that the problem is near the ownership.


Thank you for your help,

Carlos Pantelides
