Mailman needs to run as user mailman, presumably 514 is the gid of whoever you were logged in as when you got that error.

If mailman has run in the past and nobody has changed anything on you, that's probably all it is.

The configuration files refer to compiling the source, and I have no idea where you keep the source. I download all tarballs into /usr/src and extract them there, so mine is in /usr/src/mailman-2.0.12. That directory holds the file INSTALL, and you normally will run the ./configure and make install from that location. Assuming you didn't change the directory name, 'locate mailman-2.0' should get you there pretty quickly.

Note that the ./configure almost certainly needs to be run as

./configure --with-cgi-gid XX --with-mail-gid XX
to avoid a repeat of the problem.

Everytime I run mailman from one of like 50 lists I get 
Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 99, GOT gid 514.  (Reconfigure to take 514?)
 and gid 514 changes based on which user executed this script...

 
HOW Do I fix this please? I can't find the configuration files anywhere
 
I have Mailman stored in
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman
 
based off of that path, can you tell me where the configuration file is? Please
 
 
Thanks
Kevin
