Hi guys,

after a new mailman install via apt on an Debian system i?'am getting
the following errors:

Bug in Mailman version 2.1.5
We're sorry, we hit a bug!

Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of
traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited,
but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs.

okay, but my Mailman error log is empty and my apache logs are empty too.

what is now to do to solve the problem?

Thanks!

Stefan Grote.

    This can happen for a few reasons, but the most likely is a syntax
    error in mm_cfg.py.

    Good practice after a new install do $PREFIX/bin/check_perms and
    $PREFIX/bin/check_perms -f and try creating default (initial) list
    `mailman' with `$PREFIX/bin/newlist mailman`

    Try this, may help.

    Try changing

    STEALTH_MODE = 1

    to

    STEALTH_MODE = 0

    in scripts/driver and see if that gets you a more informative message.
    Also check the web server error log.

    If you're still stuck, try the following command as the mailman user

    python scripts/driver listinfo

    thanks a lot! it works. The rights of the log file was wrong. I don't
    now why.anyway my mailman webinterface works now.
    another question..what is about the mailinglist mail adress? my mailman
    sends me a message. but the mail adress of my ml doesn't exits.
    must i add the adress per hand?
    in scripts/driver and see if that gets you a more informative message.

    You must inform your MTA how to deliver to Mailman lists. How to do
    this depends on the MTA. It may be done by manually adding aliases or
    some other way. See
    <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/mail-server.html> and item 2 in
    <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.014.htp>.
