I suspect that adding VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off to the above will fix the symptom. If it does, the underlying problem is that your web server is setting HTTP_HOST (or if HTTP_HOST is unset, SERVER_NAME) to '10.0.10.18' in the environment passed to the Mailman CGIs. Ok, that works. However, AFAICT neither HTTP_HOST nor SERVER_NAME are explicitly set. Setting what I think is the SuSE 10.1 equivalent, APACHE_SERVERNAME (in /etc/sysconfig/apache) does not fix the problem, but does result in Apache generated documents showing lists.openarchaeology.net as its root: http://lists.openarchaeology.net/nopagehere If that doesn't do it, try the following: In the Mailman install directory, give the command bin/withlist -i Then at the first prompt type from Mailman import Utils at the next prompt type Utils.get_domain() Interesting. Following these steps gets me: Utils.get_domain() 'lists.openarchaeology.net' Now I'm confused... I'll use the VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off setting for now as I'm not assuming this list server will ever be used to hosts lists for something other than the openarchaeology domain. Happy to try other fixes in the interest of furthering human knowledge ;-). and see what it prints. Then type control-D to exit. You can also try setting HTTP_HOST in the environment and then repeating the above. -- Cheers Chris -- http://thehumanjourney.net -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
[Mailman-Users] Changing site domain name
Hi Now I know this will sound like a didn't read the archives and/or didn't read the FAQ but I did and no solution suggested for similar problems worked. In particular http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq04.029.htp does not fix the problem: Mailman has been installed on a dedicated clean built box. All lists correctly refer to the actual FQDN of the server in both web and mail addresses and the list server is functional in most respects. However the root/master/? (a better name escapes me but default iseems inappropriate, given it is a correctly configured variable) domain of the installation is stubbornly remaining as the IP address of the machine. I wouldn't mind so much, except the machine is in a DMZ and has a non-routeable IP... All suggestions (other than the entries in the FAQ I've already read and tried ;-) ) welcome.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Changing site domain name
Non-routeable as in private address behinded a NATed proxying firewall; the problem is seen if you go to any of the generic pages e.g. lists.my.tld/mailman/listinfo, where the server instead of referring to itself as lists.my.tld refers to itself as ip.ad.dr.ess - if you go to a list specific page the URLs are as expected, except the link for the overview page, which reads correctly as lists.my.tld/mailman/listinfo but links to ip.ad.dr.ess/mailman/listinfo. URLs are also as expected in emails, as are email addresses. Like I say, the list server functions properly, except for this insistence of using the IP address in the base URLs.

Where are you seeing this issue? Is it in the URLs that the users visit when they go to the web pages for the list? Is it in the e-mail addresses that the users see when the messages are delivered? I wouldn't mind so much, except the machine is in a DMZ and has a non-routeable IP... If it's a non-routeable IP address, I don't see how anyone is getting to the web pages or getting e-mail to/from the box. But either way, I would not be at all surprised if this was the problem.
