mailmain: created the list but failed to login as admin

[Patrick Hsieh <pahud@pahud.net>]

Hello list

I created a mailing list in mailmain, following the admin login url in
the notification mail, but failed to log. The web page said:


Bug in Mailman version 2.0.12

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. 



Then I read /var/log/mailman/error

Sep 20 11:28:01 2002 qrunner(10749): Traceback (most recent call last):

Sep 20 11:28:01 2002 qrunner(10749): IOError :  [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman/locks/qrunner.lock.et.10749'


Is there any way to correct this?
