While I can browse to

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/comp.lang.java.help

and see that there's such a list, I cannot create list from

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mailman/admin

which returns

Error: You are not authorized to create new mailing lists

whenever I try to create a list.  However, it does work from the CLI:


root@dur:~#
root@dur:~# newlist comp.lang.java.help
Enter the email of the person running the list: hawat.thu...@gmail.com
Initial comp.lang.java.help password:
To finish creating your mailing list, you must edit your /etc/aliases (or
equivalent) file by adding the following lines, and possibly running the
`newaliases' program:

## comp.lang.java.help mailing list
comp.lang.java.help: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-admin: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-bounces: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-confirm: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-join: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-leave: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-owner: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-request: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-subscribe: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-unsubscribe: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe comp.lang.java.help"

Hit enter to notify comp.lang.java.help owner...

root@dur:~#


why won't the web interface accept the same password? Or, is it that the web interface itself, perhaps, isn't authorized. What's not authorized, the password I provided (which works from the CLI) or something about how the web interface is setup?




thanks,
