[ mailman-Bugs-663675 ] Administrative interface vs. non-standard HTTP ports

Bugs item #663675, was opened at 2003-01-07 08:02 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by bwarsaw You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=663675&group_i… Category: Web/CGI Group: 2.1 (stable) >Status: Closed >Resolution: Works For Me Priority: 7 Submitted By: Fabricio Chalub (chalub) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Administrative interface vs. non-standard HTTP ports Initial Comment: I still find that mailman's administrative interface behaves incorrectly on HTTPDs running on non-standard ports. It simply discards the port information out of the URL, despite DEFAULT_URL* settings. On some pages, the URL to the FORM ACTION is relative (eg, the "General Options" form) while others, it is absolute (eg, the "Membership list"). Looking around the source, I've found lines like this (on Mailman/Cgi/admin.py) adminurl = mlist.GetScriptURL('admin', absolute=1) Changing the value of ABSOLUTE to 0 solved the problem, and I've found it pretty harmless. Any specific reason for the ABSOLUTE=1 setting? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2003-04-19 18:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 We had lots of problems when non-absolute urls where used, although I don't remember the exact details of the problems. Eventually we'll probably make all urls absolute and get rid of this argument to GetScriptURL(). BTW, this works for me, so I'm closing the bug report. Note that changing the DEFAULT_URL_* variables does not change settings for existing lists. For those you must use bin/withlist to change the web_page_url variable manually. If there are specific links that are broken, then please follow up with those links and I'll look into them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=663675&group_i…

Warsaw (bwarsaw) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Collapse CC: header Initial Comment: Some email tools adhere strictly to RFC 2822, which mandates exactly one CC header. Other tools are more lenient and allow multiple CC headers. To interoperate better with more strict tools, Mailman should accept multiple CC headers (it already does) and it should collapse them to a single CC header even if not doing header munging. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2003-04-19 17:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 We do this when we do reply-to munging, which ought to be good enough. Mailman shouldn't compensate for overly strict tools if the original message's CC headers aren't fully compliant. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=667232&group_i…

Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2003-04-19 16:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 David, have you been able to dig up more information about this problem? I'm moving this to Pending as we have no clue why it's happening for you and cannot reproduce it on any systems we have available to us. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Thomas Wouters (twouters) Date: 2003-03-21 19:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=34209 No, having multiple versions of Python should not be causing this. Nor should the SIGALRM handler being triggered cause it, unless something is seriously broken in your setup -- but we've already been there. The only way to see if a SIGTERM is actually being delivered is running the processes under strace or gdb, but this seriously disrupts regular operation. There is no way that i know of to find out where a signal is coming from, once you find out that it really is a signal. If it *isn't* a real signal, I would start looking at libc bugs and other platform bugs. You can try upgrading Python to 2.2.2 (the latest bugfix release) but I would be very suprised if it fixed your problem. RedHat does not have a great reputation for stability, so be sure to check for any RedHat updates. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Gibbs (midrangeman) Date: 2003-03-17 12:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=86339 Additional environment details: Redhat Linux 8.0, uname = "Linux xxx.midrange.com 2.4.18- 26.8.0 #1 Mon Feb 24 10:21:42 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux" Python: 2.2.1 CPU: P4 2.4ghz, 512mb RAM Dunno if this makes a difference, but I have the following directories ... /usr/lib/python1.5 /usr/lib/python2.1 /usr/lib/python2.2 Any chance there is a conflict? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Gibbs (midrangeman) Date: 2003-01-24 13:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=86339 I added some debug code to mailmanctl and found out that the sigalarm handler is firing just before the qrunners are terminating. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Gibbs (midrangeman) Date: 2003-01-22 16:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=86339 After some further research, QRUNNER seems to stop after exactly 24 hours of operation. That is, 24 hours after qrunner starts, it ends as if someone killed it with SIGTERM. I know for a fact that nobody is actually doing this ... and no process on my system should be aware of the fact that qrunner is actually running. I will not discount the possiblity that this is an environmental factor, but it seems to me that a daemon process should not be affected by environmental factors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2003-01-19 17:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 I'm not sure what kind of logging would help. Some process somewhere is SIGTERMing the mailmanctl controller process. There's no way to know where a signal is coming from, so I'm not sure what more you could do in mailmanctl. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=670535&group_i…
