OK. so setting VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW off gets you a host name from DEFAULT_URL_HOST instead of '10.0.10.18'. Given this and the code in Utils.get_domain() which is where this comes from, the web server must be setting '10.0.10.18' as HOST_NAME or SERVER_NAME in the environment it passes to the CGI. I think that normally, it should pass the name of the host in the URL that accessed the page, at least in a virtual hosts configuration, but here it is passing '10.0.10.18'. This is a web server configuration issue. Of course, as long as you're not actually using Mailman virtual hosts, setting VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW off should be an acceptable solution. >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 I don't know enough about the above to comment. >> 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' Because neither HOST_NAME nor SERVER_NAME is set in the environment you passed to withlist (assuming VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW was on when you did this test) so DEFAULT_URL_HOST is used. If VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW is off and you set HOST_NAME in the environment before you invoke withlist (e.g. in bash HOST_NAME=junk;export HOST_NAME or in tcsh setenv HOST_NAME junk ) then the above test will give whatever you set for HOST_NAME in the environment as the result of Utils.get_domain(). >Now I'm confused...

Happy to try other >fixes in the interest of furthering human knowledge ;-). Other fixes would have to be something that would affect the environment passed to Mailman's CGIs by the web server. I don't know this area well enough to suggest what they might be. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
