Red Hat 5.1
Apache 2
Mailman 2.1.11


I am a newbie with Linux and am trying to get apache to see my Mailman
install. I have Apache's default home page up and running fine but am
not seeing Mailman.  I have tried the full path also:
http://localhost/mailman/listinfo/ and it doesn;t display anything. 
It's blank.  I have also created the mailman list and checked perms and
everything looks fine. I have also read the archives regarding this
issue and noticed the person was redirected to contact Apache, which I
very well may have to, but wanted to check with this listserv first to
make sure I am not missing anything. Here is what I have in my
httpd.conf file. 

<Directory "/">
       Options FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride None
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/html">
       Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride None
       Allow from all
       Order allow,deny
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/icons">
        Options Indexes MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Allow from all
        Order allow,deny
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
        Options ExecCGI
        AllowOverride None
        Allow from all
        Order allow,deny
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/
Alias /pipermail/ /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/

<Directory /usr/local/mailman/archives/>
    Options +FollowSymlinks
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin>
    AllowOverride None
    Options +ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Here is a snippet of my httpd.log:

Also, here is a snapshot to show some of my permission settings:

I don't have sendmail setup yet and am starting with a basic install at
the moment. Any help or clue would be greatly appreciated.
