Mailman error?

[rbhaydon]

Here's a challenge for all you Mailman/Python experts:

When a domain customer goes in to click on the web interface for modifying the mailing list (that little gear icon listed to the right of each mailing list), they get the error at the bottom of this message.

Is it a "lock file" problem?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bruce

Try

# /var/mailman/bin/check_perms -f

and check again

Thank-you for the fix...I must admit, that would take a fair bit of digging for me to figure that out!

What would cause the permissions to corrupt? Was it doing a "Red Hat Update" that updated the package?

Thanks again
