If you created the list(s) before rerunning configure and make install,
you now need to run fix_url
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.069.htp>.

You have to provide either the Mailman installation site password or
the Mailman installation list creator password in the "List creator's
(authentication) password:" box on the form. Both these passwords are
set via the command line tool bin/mmsitepass.
