There is still some confusion on my part about the directives in the file so allow me to seek some clarifications.
The following are the contents of a file I have created and placed in my Apache Includes/ directory. I was hoping that with it, I can now access http://lists.my.server/mm3 and get the UI.

It is created/updated by the mailman-post-update script based on CONFDIR and STATIC_DIR.
The fact that I have run the mailman-post-update script and these directories aren't created means there is a problem in my setup, yes?
If your mailman-post-update script is essentially the same as <https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Mailman%203%20installation%20experience?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=mailman-post-update.txt> and it ran successfully, it would have created opt/mailman/mm/static and populated it. What was the output when you ran it?
Yes, I have these files: (venv) [root@gw /opt/mailman/mm]# ls -al /opt/mailman/mm/settings* -rw-r--r-- 1 mailman3 wheel 15518 Jul 25 14:34 /opt/mailman/mm/settings.py -rw-r--r-- 1 mailman3 wheel 15773 Jul 26 10:33 /opt/mailman/mm/settings_local.py
Is there an empty /opt/mailman/mm/__init__.py file?
PS: I made my /opt/mailman to be owned by mailman3:wheel because of a confusion with the instructions at some point in the reading of some documentation previously (in my previous attempt last year!) and had noted that in my NOTES. I'll change this once things get clear for me. Also, the fact that one of the init scripts <https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Mailman%203%20installation%20experience?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=init.d_mailman.txt> in your "reflection" page was calling sudo :)
It does sudo -u $USER ... so that it runs Mailman as the Mailman user
as it should. Have you set
USER=mailman3
in yours?
