[Mailman-Users] Web admin interface (permissions) problem

[Alexandra West]

Hello everybody,

We're running Mailman 2.1.4 with Python 2.2 on Woody (kernel 2.1.43),
Apache 1.3.26. I have no problem configuring the lists from
/var/lib/mailman/bin and viewing the results in the web admin interface.
However, whenever I try to change anything through the web interface,
all changes are lost after hitting the Submit changes button.

I've checked permissions and compared it to the setup of Mailman 2.0.11
on another machine where the interface is working, but to no avail.

I'm convinced this is something really simple but I can't find it and
it's driving me crazy since I'm under pressure to have it finished by
tomorrow. So please forgive me if you've heard this one before (I've
found other posts describing the same problem but maddeningly there were
no answers).

Any ideas? Is there a FAQ I've overlooked? I can probably not see the
wood for the trees anymore.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Alexandra
