Move lists/* except for lists/mailman and run fix_url on each list. If you don't have virtual hosts requiring different fix_url options for different lists, you can just run bin/withlist -a -l -r fix_url Run bin/fix_url.py for details of fix_url. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.029.htp>. Archives can be done in a couple of ways. You can move the entire archives/ directory except for archives/private/mailman/ and archives/private/mailman.mbox/, but that will leave some absolute URLs in the archive with the wrong host name. To avoid this, you can mobe just the archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox files for each list and then run bin/arch --wipe on each list to recreate the HTML archives. This won't create the public archive symlinks, but those get redone on the fly anyway every time the list is changed in any way (web config, post, etc.). There is a FAQ at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.004.htp> but it is sorely in need of updating. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
