We have 2 domains that i want to use with mailman, firstdomain.com and seconddomain.net. Should i have lists.firstdomain.com and lists.seconddomain.net?

Here is said section:
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin administrator at domain.com
    ServerName domain.com
    ServerAlias domain.com

    # DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
    # documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
    # symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
    DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/sites/MTwG

    # if not specified, the global error log is used
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/MTwG-error_log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/MTwG-access_log combined

    # don't loose time with IP address lookups
    HostnameLookups Off

    # needed for named virtual hosts
    UseCanonicalName Off

    # configures the footer on server-generated documents
    ServerSignature On


    # Optionally, include *.conf files from /etc/apache2/conf.d/
    #
    # For example, to allow execution of PHP scripts:
    #
    # Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_php4.conf
    #
    # or, to include all configuration snippets added by packages:
    # Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf


    # ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
    # ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
    # documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and
    # run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client.
    # The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to
    # Alias.
    #
    ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/"

    # "/srv/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
    # CGI directory exists, if you have one, and where ScriptAlias points to.
    #
    <Directory "/usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/">
	AllowOverride None
	Options +ExecCGI -Includes
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
    </Directory>


    # UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user's home
    # directory if a ~user request is received.
    #
    # To disable it, simply remove userdir from the list of modules in APACHE_MODULES
    # in /etc/sysconfig/apache2.
    #
    <IfModule mod_userdir.c>
	# Note that the name of the user directory ("public_html") cannot simply be
	# changed here, since it is a compile time setting. The apache package
	# would have to be rebuilt. You could work around by deleting
	# /usr/sbin/suexec, but then all scripts from the directories would be
	# executed with the UID of the webserver.
	UserDir public_html
	# The actual configuration of the directory is in
	# /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf.
	Include /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf
	# You can, however, change the ~ if you find it awkward, by mapping e.g.
	# http://www.example.com/users/karl-heinz/ --> /home/karl-heinz/public_html/
	#AliasMatch ^/users/([a-zA-Z0-9-_.]*)/?(.*) /home/$1/public_html/$2
    </IfModule>


    #
    # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.

>Can you get to http://web.domain.com/mailman/admin ?
No. Or lists.domain.com/mailman/admin, ip/mailman/admin

>>Mailmanctl restart gives me bash: command not found.
Brain fart and got it restarted. When restarting mailman, i get this:
Starting mailman (Warning: the Apache2 webinterface for Mailman has not been activated!)
I googled this and found old results from 2005 and older. The "fixes" don't seem to pertain to up-to-date mailman
