Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Rob Brandt (robbrandt) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Wrong domain in public archives

Initial Comment: I *think* I've found a bug in 2.12. I've had a longstanding issue with all of my mailing lists pointing to the wrong domain for mail archives. When I originally set up the server, used an initial "recreational" domain name not intended to be used widely. The intention was to switch to the real domain names later once the server went live. I did that, but all of the URLs for archives (only archives) still pointed to the stupid domain name. I intended to fix this in 2.12 by using the fix_url function while I was also fixing a bunch of other stuff. I've needed to move some of my lists to other domains anyway, so this seemed like a good time. So I ran fix_url over almost all of my domains, and tested them as I went. Everything went as planned, except some of them still had the archives pointing to the recreational domain. Then it dawned on me that the ones that didn't get fixed were all *public* archives; the ones that did get fixed were all private. I went to one of the public archives and switched it to private, and the URL to the archives was then OK! Switched it back to public and it was wrong again. So, it seems that this is a bug. Or I've missed a configuration setting somewhere. Thanks Rob ----------------------------------------------------------------------

For the sake of posterity, let the bug archives show: * Be sure you have proper virtual host mapping (add_virtualhost()) in mm_cfg.py; * Be sure that the list setting for "Host name this list prefers for email" is in fact your mail exchange address, not a base URL for browsing (which was my problem); * Run fix_url.py ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2003-08-11 08:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 Have you defined your (url_host, mail_host) pair in your mm_cfg.py ? You should state like: add_virtualhost('www.virtual.dom', 'mail.virtual.dom') ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=784888&group_id=103
