Problem creating lists with mailman module

Problem with mailman3 module, version 6.10 does not let me use it, the module indicates that /var/lib/mailman3/ does not exist, when it does exist, the previous versions available give me the same failure, the latest version 6.11 does not give me that failure but without the previously created lists do not appear, and in the domain drop-down section does not appear any, so it is impossible for me to create lists through this module.

@Jamie you worked on the mailman3 module just recently, do you know what the issue could be?

3

Does /var/lib/mailman3 or /var/lib/mailman exist on your system? Also, which package version of Mailman do you have installed?

4

Yes, /var/lib/mailman3 exists

GNU Mailman 3.3.8 (Tom Sawyer)

ns:~# -la /var/lib/mailman3/

total 44

Possibly it is a permissions issue, because if I run mailman from another user than root it gives me permissions problems in several directories

/etc/mailman3$ mailman version

It is also in that the mailman’s virtualmin library file looks for

our $rmlist_cmd = “$mailman_dir/bin/mailman remove”;

our $list_lists_cmd = “$mailman_dir/bin/mailman lists”;

our $changepw_cmd = “$mailman_dir/bin/change_pw”;

our $config_cmd = “$mailman_dir/bin/config_list”;

our $withlist_cmd = “$mailman_dir/bin/withlist”;

our $lists_dir = “$mailman_var/lists”;

our $archives_dir = “$mailman_var/archives”;

our $domains_map = “$mailman_var/data/postfix_domains”;

our $lmtp_map = “$mailman_var/data/postfix_lmtp”;

our $maillist_map = “relay_domains”;

our $maillist_file = “$postfix_dir/maillists”;

our $transport_map = “transport_maps”;

our $cgi_dir = “$mailman_dir/cgi-bin”;

our $icons_dir = “$mailman_dir/icons”;

but all these commands are inside the mailman file, they do not exist by themselves.
