ok, i got a work arround, but not able to create lists i installed v2.1.4 atleast 5 times, to finally get it working
it showed a 404 not found error. i had installed it in /home/mailman but i found out from http logs that it was searching for /var/mailman/cgi-bin so now i created a link to /home/mailman as /var/mailman now i created the first list mailman with a password say 'abcd' then configured it with the default template now i create a sitewide passwd using bin/mmsitepass say 'xyz' now i can login at myserver.com/mailman/admin/mailman with both the passwords then i use the info in README to create a test list i go to myserver.com/mailman/create it shows me a form i try to create lists, using both the above password, with same and different emailaddresses as that of mailman owner, but it gives me an error saying Error: You are not authorized to create new mailing lists though i am allowed to create a list using bin/newlist now what should i do?
