Hi Mark, That was the problem. I added that directory statement and I now get an error page showing the following:
Mailman CGI error!!! The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being stored in your syslog: Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the CGI wrapper script to be executed as group "nobody", but the system's web server executed the CGI script as group "apache". Try tweaking the web server to run the script as group "nobody", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-cgi-gid=apache'. This seems self explanatory enough. So now if I run ./configure again from my original staging area with the above mentioned option, will I need to run "make install" again afterwards and redo all my original custom configuration? Thanks!

What is the exact error in the apache error-log? Just guessing, but I suspect you may not have allowed access to /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/. You may need <Directory "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/"> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> in your httpd.conf. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
