About mailman-web vs django-admin: mailman-web is basically a front-end to django-admin. So if you used django-admin, trying again with mailman-web probably won't help. It did occur to me that the 'mailman' command is quite sensitive to the current directory where it is invoked. for the mailman command it is best to use "mailman -c /path/to/mailman.cfg", and for mailman-web "mailman-web --settings=/path/to/settings.py" because the location of important files and directories are set in those configuration files.
