I don't think it's an Apache issue. I think it's mm_cfg.py/Defaults.py - in particular the settings for PREFIX = EXEC_PREFIX = VAR_PREFIX = These should be properly set by ./configure from the defaults or values provided with the --prefix=dir --exec-prefix=dir --with-var-prefix=dir options (see http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node7.html). Normally, whatever configure sets these to is where things will be installed and later found, but I'm guessing that somehow the wrong mm_cfg.py/Defaults.py is being picked up somewhere. Maybe the wrappers in cgi-bin/ are wrong or there's more than one ScriptAlias for mailman in the Apache config. or maybe the wrong makefile was used by make. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
