[Mailman-Users] installing..PLEASE help

[Tamara Yoggev]

Hi there,

I've just installed mailman on a Linux server, and I'm having a few problems, 
some which may be related. Well here goes:

1. I'm using sendmail as my mailing system. I went through the tutorial , and tried to
create the sendmail.cf file from the sample file in ../mailman../contrib. I only changed
a few lines related to my host etc. bit when I ran the m4 and then restarted sendmail
I got a lot of errors, Here is a snip:
(and BTW, all the files that are referred as 'No such file or directory' DO exist in /etc/mail where all  my sendmail configuration is done )
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

service sendmail start

2. I've successfully created a few lists via the command line, but when I try to create a list on the web, I get this message:
   Error: you are not authorized to create new mailing lists.
   I'm using my site password (which I know I created), which is the same as list administrator password for the bottom field, and
  yes, I've recreated the password and tries creating the list several times. I know I have'nt misspelled anything.

3. When I try to view the list properties on the web, for instance: If I created a list called 'test', and I go to www.dom.ain\mailman\admin\testI get a message: No such list: test. (and it does exist when I run the list_lists command, it's there!)

I'd really appreciate if there is anyone out there who could help me.

well, waiting...
