[Mailman-Users] script wrapper reports "No such file or directory"

[Chris Tomlinson]

I'm trying to install mailman-2.1 on a FreeBSD virtual private server 
enviroment. I've used --with-cgi-gid, --with-username, 
--with-groupname, and the DIRSETGID=: and so forth. I've successfully 
gotten through the check_perms and created the newlist mailman - with 
the notification message. I'm stuck at the step of creating a list via 
the web interface. I get the following:

      Mailman CGI error!!!
      The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is 
being stored in your syslog:

      No such file or directory


I've checked the FAQ and the searchable mailing list archives. If I try 
a bogus scriptname like "frobnitz" then I get the expected:

     Not Found
     The requested URL /mailman/frobnitz was not found on this server.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks and ciao,
Chris
