You will probably get more information from the Apache error log
file, /var/log/apache2/error.log by default on Ubuntu systems.

What do you mean, it doesn't update?

This is an odd URL. Any URL with "listinfo" in it should bring up the
list information page, not the administrator page.

Additionally, you should never need to put "cgi-bin" in the URL for
either the administrator or list information page.

It sounds as if you may have Apache unconfigured or misconfigured for
Mailman. Have you read the instructions at
<http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/node10.html>?  Note
that the reference to /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/ is outdated.
Current installs on Ubuntu use /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/
