It looks like you may have changed DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN in mm_cfg.py. Does it have a trailing slash?
No, it doesn't - Should it? If so, others don't have it either, e.g. this is how I found things:
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/cgi-bin/mailman' PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL = '/cgi-bin/mailman/private' IMAGE_LOGOS = '/images/mailman/'
Thus the first 2 don't and last one does. Should they all have the trailing
slash? (Actually I don't need the cgi-bin part, but I'll fix that later
after I get the basic problem corrected.)
I think it is best if they all do have the trailing slash, but there are many places in Mailman's code where the trailing slash is checked for and added if absent, but clearly not everywhere.
If this is the problem, after you fix DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN, you need to run bin/fix_url.py under bin/withlist to fix the list(s).
OK, I've added the trailing slash, run fix_url.py using withlist and restarted Mailman, but everything is the same - The link still has "listinfomailman" without the needed slash. Any more ideas?
As Tokio mentioned in another reply, the archive was probably built with the bad value and now that the list is fixed (assuming that is the fix) the archive needs to be rebuilt.
As Tokio also suggested, since there isn't anything in the archive yet, you could remove the list and recreate it (and use config_list to save the settings before deleting and restore them later), but if you have members and they have various different options, etc. it is probably much simpler to just do
bin/arch --wipe <listname>
to recreate the archive.
Well, it doesn't like bin/arch as above because the archive is empty:
Luke:/var/lib/mailman/bin# ./arch --wipe sked
<snip>
Cannot open mbox file /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/sked.mbox/sked.mbox: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/sked.mbox/sked.mbox'
Luke:/var/lib/mailman/bin#
I also tried just ./arch without the --wipe and got the same error.
*** I did create a brand new test list, and the link is CORRECT for that list, so fix_url after adding the trailing slash did fix the problem. Now to get the existing lists fixed - maybe. I intend for these lists to NOT have archives, so it's academic for existing lists. I just would like fix it so that the incorrect link doesn't appear if someone goes there out of curiosity and then hits the listinfo link to get back. I guess I might have to save the config and recreate the lists if I really want the link fixed that badly. Thanks Mark and Tokio for your help - Future lists won't have this problem! - John
