I am guessing that there is a /etc/httpd/conf.d/mailman file that was
installed as part of the RedHat/CentOS Mailman package that contains a
ScriptAlias /mailman/ and other directives.

Are you installing a package? Did you previously install a package and
are you now installing from source? If you are installing a package,
follow the package's documentation. If you are installing from source
over a package, first remove the package.
