Actually, I didn't "reverse" anything. You asked: >So what add_virtualhost() did you put in mm_cfg.py? I actually tried, and backed out, two things before coming for help to this list, both of which made things worse! I tried add_virtualhost('www.theglobalvoice.info', 'www.theglobalvoice.info'), and the same line without the "www.". Adding this line gave me the "You hit a bug" message in the Web create UI, which is why I backed it out and set things back the way they'd been. Regarding: >What is in Mailman's error log corresponding to the "we hit a bug"? I don't know because I don't know enough about Mailman to have even had a chance to look. There's one thing about all of this you don't know because I haven't mentioned it, and it goes back to when I said I don't even know what I don't know. While I've been tasked to keeping theglobalvoice.info running, my only credentials for doing so are that I'm reasonably good at learning quickly--I am not a *ux system or site administrator of any stripe. Ask me lots of questions about VAX/Alpha VMS and I can talk your ear off, as that's what I've spent the last 30 years doing professionally. Show me a *ux system prompt and the first thing I know to do is "man {something}", and if that doesn't solve whatever is wrong, I start Googling until I find something to at least try. I'd gotten to that point and figured out it probably had something to do with add_virtualhost, but not understanding (until now) exactly what that directive does, I was floundering. Apparently my predecessor, someone actually far more qualified to do this job than I, either didn't know about the proper use of add_virtualhost, or was happy enough with using the command-line `newlist' to create new mailing lists, because there are eight of them already on the system running successfully. The site owner told me that she always knew there was a problem with the Web UI, but the previous techie guy had a workaround for it--namely, using `newlist' as root. I, being the type who doesn't like loose ends or unsolved mysteries, stuck my neck out and said I'd fix it ... and you know the rest. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
