I have installed a mailman3 server following this documentation: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-insta...
After a few hiccups I got mailman and postorius working and migrated one list according to this documentation: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html
It seemed to work and also hyperkitty_import was run without errors (or at least none shown up). Running update_index command said that there were 0 threads copied but I kjnow that the archive isn't empty. But now when I tried to open the list info page from lists view it dies with 500 error.
After diving into the different log files I found an error message that it cannot find /etc/mailman3/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg. Great. Only that the cfg file exists and seems to my (unexpert) eyes correct.
After that problem I tried to create a new list. Creation seemed to go all right but also with it, trying to open the list info page it shows 500 error.
When googling for a solution I landed on a message stating that there might be double entries for the same list in listarchiver table but when I checked ot turns out that the table is empty!
I am a bit confused how to figure out the base cause of the problem and would very much appreciate any pointers.
The documentation you followed is quite okay and reasonably detailed. Just wipe out your virtualenv and start over again. Practice it till you get it working. I suspect you missed a step - or did not understand well. You just need to seek clarification on that. Looking at the mailman-web logfile mentioned in that documentation might also help you.
