I installed mailman on localhost using the following instructions on
http://systers.org/systers-soc/doku.php/step_by_step_system_installation_-_production
But on starting mailman I get an error:
Site-list is missing: mailman-admin
Can anyone help me here?
Thanks

Both /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts are world readable. I am truly
stumped.

It seems there is a permissions issue somewhere that is preventing
mailman from accessing something. Make sure /etc/hosts and
/etc/resolve.conf are world readable. If that isn't it, try to narrow
it down by running the tests as mailman using sudo as above.
OK .. ran both tests as mailman. First one was fine. Second one, while itMark Sapiro wrote:

mailman has no login shell (/sbin/nologin) Should mailman need a login shell

Did you actually do the test described in the post at

If you did those as the Mailman user and they didn't show any error,
then I can't explain why it fails when OutgoingRunner does the exact
same thing.
Did not do them as the mailman user but as another user (not root). Userthen I can't explain why it fails when OutgoingRunner does the exact
