[short recap: tried the usual, got nothing]

Sounds like your Apache directory structure might be twisted. I didn't
follow this completely, but if the document root for Apache is
/usr/local/apache/www/htdocs and you're getting:

"
File does not exist:
/usr/local/apache/www/htdocs/mailman/admin/testlist
"

in the logs, then maybe mailman's stuff should be in
/usr/local/apache/www/htdocs/ on the filesystem. That is if the Alias
directive, as below, is missing.

You mentioned ScriptAlias. I have this:

Alias /mailman/ /home/mailman/cgi-bin/

Do you have a similar line? Is it correct?

STOP PRESS.

I just checked. My logs, with things working correctly, show this:

127.0.0.1 - - [30/Jun/2001:03:17:56 +0530] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 6394
127.0.0.1 - - [30/Jun/2001:03:18:00 +0530] "GET /mailman/
HTTP/1.0" 200 197
127.0.0.1 - - [30/Jun/2001:03:18:01 +0530] "GET /mailman/admin.cgi
HTTP/1.0" 200 2668
127.0.0.1 - - [30/Jun/2001:03:18:07 +0530] "GET
/mailman/admin.cgi/dfedit HTTP/1.0" 200 1327

Note the paths. They're in Apache's web directory space, not in the
filesystem. Your path is in the filesystem. Borked Alias directive is
my guess.

I'm not very awake either.

BTW, who else has admin access to the box in question? Maybe they
did something?

More wild guessing: is /usr/local/apache/www/htdocs/ or anything along
that path on a different partition which isn't mounted?
