Hi, I'm still having trouble with installing Mailman. The original error is as follows:
Mailman CGI error!!! The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being stored in your syslog:
Failure to lookup via getgrgid() the group info for group id -1 that this Mailman CGI wrapper is executing under. This is probably due to an incorrectly configured system and is not a Mailman problem
The really odd thing is that getgid is apparently returning ~0 (gid's are unsigned, but the error message prints it as an int, hence the -1). I just looked at my groups and the only group with a large number is nfsnobody. Are you trying to run this across NFS? If so I'm guessing your mount point is not correct because if I recall correctly NFS mount points need special flags added to allow execute permissions to pass through. I would check that first. If you're not on NFS and/or NFS mount point is correctly configured then I would check the following:
Are all the scripts in /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/ owned by root in the group mailman with the group sticky bit set (the 7th letter printed out by ls -l)
here is an example: -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 17079 Feb 15 11:21 admin*
What is the contents of your /etc/httpd/conf.d/mailman.conf file? The cgi script should look like this:
ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/
<Directory /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
