yo.

so i think i'm well on my way to getting this thing installed.  I just 
configured apache to use mailman, but whenever i try to connect to the 
/mailman/ directory, i get the following error:


We're sorry, we hit a bug!

If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy of 
this page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what 
happened. Thanks!


Traceback:


Traceback (most recent call last):

     immediate=1)
   File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Logging/StampedLogger.py", line 52, in __init__
     Logger.__init__(self, category, nofail, immediate)

     file = __builtin__.open(filename, mode, buffering)
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/mailman/error'


is this because i haven't set up my mailer yet?  or is it cause i did 
something else wrong? (permissions?)
