Apache Configuration for Mailman

[Carlwill]

I am trying to install / configure MailMan on my mail server which is
running Postfix 2.6 & Apache 2 on CentOS 5 x64. I am following the
guide on the MailMan page labeled "5 Set up your web server". I am
confused here because it advises me to do the following:

   ScriptAlias /mailman/       /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/

When I add that line into my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file, I get
this error when I restart Apache:

[root@mail conf]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [OK]
Starting httpd: [Tue Oct 06 14:51:49 2009] [warn] The ScriptAlias
directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 565 will probably
never match because it overlaps an earlier ScriptAlias.
                                                           [  OK  ]


So now I am wondering if this means I placed it in the wrong section
of my httpd.conf file. I really don't know so I am asking you guys
what I am doing wrong? In my httpd.conf file in CentOS, I placed it on
line 565 in the section that looked appropriate:

# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client.
# The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to
# Alias.
#
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"

ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/"

#
# "/var/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
#
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>


Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

I am guessing that there is a /etc/httpd/conf.d/mailman file that was
installed as part of the RedHat/CentOS Mailman package that contains a
ScriptAlias /mailman/ and other directives.

Are you installing a package? Did you previously install a package and
are you now installing from source? If you are installing a package,
follow the package's documentation. If you are installing from source
over a package, first remove the package.
