Does mailman 2.1 now need to run as the same user as Apache runs? In our case
httpd runs as the user ‘apache’ and mailman runs as ‘mailman’. I reinstalled
mailman and no difference. I’ve seen this error referenced several time and to
run check_perms which I did.
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/check_perms
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailman-update-cfg bad group (has: root, expected mailman)
Problems found: 1
Re-run as mailman (or root) with -f flag to fix
ls -l /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailman-update-cfg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 436 Feb 12 06:54 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailman-update-cfg
chown mailman:mailman /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailman-update-cfg
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/check_perms
No problems found
