Somehow this discussion went off-list. With Mark's help, I have most 
of it fixed I think. It was ownership of files. I still have one or two 
problems though. I get what I should get from http://www.thepenguin.
org/mailman/admin/homegroup, but when I try to login, I get the 
following error:

Bug in Mailman version 2.1.9

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. 

In the logs, I see:

[Tue Nov 27 11:01:37 2007] [error] [client 192.168.1.48] script not

As these entries indicate, there is no /var/www/html/images/mailman. 
Is this supposed to be a file or directory? I see a 
/var/www/html/images/mailman.jpg.
