Category: Web/CGI Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Closed

Resolution: Invalid

Priority: 5 Submitted By: Chris Dudley (dudleyc) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Host name changes not followed

Initial Comment: I have a server called foo.x.com but have all the lists running on it running of a CNAME called lists.x.com.

The value for both DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and DEFAULT_URL_HOST in Defaults.py is foo.x.com, however both variables are set to lists.x.com in mm_cfg.py.

All lists were originally created with the value in mm_cfg.py set to foo.x.com and so they all have foo.x.com as their preferred hostname and show up in the http://foo.x.com/mailman/listinfo page.

However I want them to be listed on http://lists.x.com/mailman/listinfo.

If I try to change the hostname each list prefers then it seems to take effect but sometimes on clicking submit I get redirected to the exact same admin page but on foo.x.com not lists.x.com. All the links in the admin interface point to foo.x.com except the link to the lists archives which points to lists.x.com.

I really dont want to have to delete lists and recreate them just top get them to show up on the correct domain name as they already have hundreds of subscribers to each list.

Have I configured something wrong?

(a quick grep of the files in the /var/mailman/lists directory shows that each list info file contains the words foo.x.com AND lists.foo.com)

Im using mailman 2.1.2 compiled from source running on RedHat 8.0.

Thanks

Actually, you didn't do anything wrong. It's just that Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py only take effect when creating the list. After the list is created, you need to use bin/fix_url.py to change the urls.

By setting: DEFAULT_URL = 'http://lists.x.com/mailman' and recreating all the lists the problem seems to have been fixed. So I can only conclude that this was either due to something stupid I did during the install or during the setup stage - doesnt appear to be a code problem anyway so this bug can be closed (sorry ;-).
