In that case you are sure to have access to the INSTALL file in the Mailman 
build directory.

If you haven't created the site mailing list then you will immediately get 
an error message out of mailmanctl about the missing site list.

You really must read the INSTALL file. The section under the heading "4. 
Final system set-up" (starting at line 245 in the MM 2.1.2 release) is a 
must read. It tells you to create the site list before running mailmanctl.

This is explained under the heading "4. Final system set-up". Make sure to 
read all of this section.
