[Mailman-Users] Emergancy Help!!!!!

[G. Armour Van Horn]

Mailman needs to run as user mailman, presumably 514 is the gid of
whoever you were logged in as when you got that error.

If mailman has run in the past and nobody has changed anything on you,
that's probably all it is.

The configuration files refer to compiling the source, and I have no
idea where you keep the source. I download all tarballs into /usr/src
and extract them there, so mine is in /usr/src/mailman-2.0.12. That
directory holds the file INSTALL, and you normally will run the
./configure and make install from that location. Assuming you didn't
change the directory name, 'locate mailman-2.0' should get you there
pretty quickly.

Note that the ./configure almost certainly needs to be run as

     ./configure --with-cgi-gid XX --with-mail-gid XX

to avoid a repeat of the problem.
