[Mailman-Users] List Creation via web UI

[Odhiambo Washington]

I am trying, for the 1st time in my life with Mailman, to create a list 
via the web UI. I have read all the available doco, and I believe that
I have configured my setup properly.
`check_perms -f` says no error found, yet when I try to create a list,
the web UI says:

"Bug in Mailman version 2.1.9 \
We're sorry, we hit a bug! \
Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of 
traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, 
but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs"


Well the error itself from $Mailman_Home/logs/error is:

Nov 02 19:07:39 2006 admin(69413): @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

admin(69413): OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/potopoto.mbox'
admin(69413): [----- Python Information -----]


So I am just wondering, why else should this happen?
