Two things:

1) check for the setting of LOG_DIR in Defaults.py and mm_cfg.py
(mm_cfg.py overrides Defaults.py) and make sure you are looking in the
correct place for the error log. Also make sure the log's group is the
mailman group and it is group writable and Mailman/cgi-bin/admin is
group mailman and SETGID.

2) in scripts/driver change the line

STEALTH_MODE = 1

just after the comments at the beginning to

STEALTH_MODE = 0

This will enable printing the traceback to the web browser.
