Which is almost certainly permissions related. What does your web server
error log say?

If you got it any time after Sept 27, 2012, yes it is.

archives/public should contain only symlinks to corresponding things in
archives/private.

Have you tried running bin/check_perms?

Note that archives/private MUST be o+x or owned by the web server user.

Note that bin/prune_arch only creates a new
archives/private/LIST.mbox/LIST.mbox file and invokes bin/arch to
rebuild the HTML archive, but archives/private should be group mailman
and SETGID so everything should be created with group mailman, and be
world readable.
