[Mailman-Users] permission problems with new install...

[Richard Ellerbrock]

Have you tried the check_perms script yet? You should find it in the ~mailman/bin directory.

I'm setting up a new Mailman server to replace an old one, and I'm running into the
"Bug in Mailman 2.0..." message when I try to go to the initial admin page, or even the 
base listinfo.cgi page.

It appears that there is a permission problem with perms on the config.db file and/or the
lock directory. As far as I can tell the cgi-bin is working for other sites, but this one 
still has problems. I can't see any differences in perm between my functional server and 
this new one. I will attach the traceback below. The machine is running Solaris 2.6,
patched current.

When calling <site>.edu/cgi-bin/listinfo.cgi/test3 
I wind up with the attached traceback.

Any suggestions?
