[Mailman-Users] troubles with multiple installations on the same machine

[Davide Galletti]

Hi all,

I am having troubles installing more than one instance on the same LINUX 
FEDORA CORE 2 box.
The need arises from having to manage lists for more than one domain 
(e.g. abitipuliti.org liste.cnms.it  swazitalia.org ...)
I understand that installing multiple instances is the best choiche ... 
am I right?
(FAQ: "Multiple installations on the same machine can be used to avoid 
the list naming restrictions"
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.047.htp
I accurately ( I hope ) followed the instructions on:
    http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/index.html

The 1st instance for abitipuliti.org works just fine
On the 2nd and 3rd for liste.cnms.it and swazitalia.org I get some
PROBLEMS:

When I fill in the form on
 - http://liste.cnms.it/mailman/create    (2nd)
and on
 - http://swazitalia.org/mailman/create (3rd)
I get


      *Error: /Unknown virtual host: liste.cnms.it/*

*Error: /Unknown virtual host: swazitalia.org/*
On both forms it will accept as "List creator's (authentication) 
password"  the password of the 1st instance!!
Also some URLs point erroneusly from 2nd or 3nd web interface to 1st domain.

If I create the list from the command line I get the  notification of 
the new list but  when  click to the URL
http://swazitalia.org/mailman/admin/test
I get:  No such list /test/


CONFIGURATION:
 >>>>>>>>>1st instance for abitipuliti.org 2.1.4
 $prefix = /var/mailman

 Apache httpd.conf

  ServerName abitipuliti.org
  ProxyVia on

 ./configure --prefix=/data/mailman --with-cgi-gid=apache

 >>>>>>>>>3rd instance for swazitalia.org 2.1.7
 $prefix = /data/mailmanswazitalia

 ./configure --prefix=/data/mailmanswazitalia --with-cgi-gid=apache 
--with-mailhost=swazitalia.org --with-urlhost=swazitalia.org

Any hint?
Anything I can try to understand where is the configuration error?
Alternative configurations?

Thanks so much for your patience,
