Hi-
I'm going through the process of transferring over from plesk to web/virtualmin. One of the sticking points that I have is getting mailman up and running.
I installed virtualmin via the install.sh which went fine. I've created a few virtual servers and that all seems correct.
When I select my virtual server, select mailing lists from the left, I have the interface for the mailing list creation. I can create a mailing list fine. However, when I go to manage this mailing list, I get the: Bug in Mailman version 2.1.11 error.
Looking in /var/lib/mailman I do see the list I created and it has the root:gnats ownership.
Secondly, I tried moving a bunch of my current mailing lists over to the virtualmin machine. I followed these instructions: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/567
When I look at my lists under webmin, they all appear, however, they are not associated with any domain. Clicking on the mange button causes the same error as above?
Sorry if this is a duplicate post. I've been looking around for an answer for this for some time, but haven't found anything that makes sense yet.
thanks
a.
Is that all you see in the error message? I would hope it would give us more to go on. You might also check the relevant Apache logs (probably error.log).

Check out the forum guidelines!
That was the error I got in webmin. Here's the log from /var/log/mailman/error:

Should that be something else?
