    You already changed it. The default that comes with fedora is apache.

    > or tell Apache to run mailman's scripts with the group "apache"?

    If you insist on using non-standard installations then you must follow the
    instructions above. OTOH if you just install the httpd and mailman packages
    that come with fedora, you will not have this problem. What more could you ask
    for?

    The bottom line here is unless you really understand what you are doing, do
    NOT deviate from the default configuration.

    Regards,

    Tom
