Mark , When I installed Mailman 2.1.5, the hostname was mailman_server1.admin.net. The Defaults.py was: DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mailman_server1.admin.net' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mailman_server1.admin.net' DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/'
Since I needed to rename hostname to mailman_server2.admin.net. I added the following lines to mm_cfg.py and run fix_url and arch. The mailman server was working. DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mailman_server2.admin.net' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mailman_server2.admin.net' VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/' But when I looked at "FAQ 4.29. Where can I change a list or the default URL used for the web interface?" I found the following message: > and some more add_virtualhost(URL_FQDN, EMAIL_FQDN) if you are using virtual > hosts. My question is: Should I add one extra line shch as "add_virtualhost(mailman_server2.admin.net, mailman_server2.admin.net') in the mmcfg_cfg.py: DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mailman_server2.admin.net' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mailman_server2.admin.net' VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) add_virtualhost(mailman_server2.admin.net, mailman_server2.admin.net') <-new DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/' Our Apache httpd.conf has VirtualHost directory. Does it mean we are using the virtual host of mailman_server2.admin.net? <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName mailman_server2.admin.net We only use mailman_server2.admin.net now. Our clients send email by "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and access Mailman by "https://mailman_server2.admin.net";. Would you please tell me how to figure out "if you are using virtual hosts."?
