I just installed Mailman 2.1 this morning. I'm discovering a couple problems and I'm not sure if they are mine or mailman's.
- When I go to the private archive for a list at http://mcswartz.org.swartz/mailman/private/listname, I see the usual possibilities. Unfortunately the links do not work. For example, to view archives by thread for this year, the URL is:
http://mcswartz.org.swartz/mailman/private/2003q1/thread.html
This doesn't work because it is missing the list name. The correct URL is:
http://mcswartz.org.swartz/mailman/private/listname/2003q1/thread.html
Is this a problem in Mailman, or is my configuration wrong somehow? I installed Mailman 2.1 from source into the default location. I'm running RedHat7.3, so this was not the location where Mailman 2.0.13 was installed. After everything was installed, I moved my lists to the new location (from /var/mailman/lists to /usr/local/mailman/lists).
- I'm not sure if this is a problem or is as intended. I am running a small personal network. My server computer, which runs sendmail and apache, is inside my network and behind my firewall/router. Because of this, I need have aliases set up that allow me to access my webpages. That means that although my real site is www.mcswartz.org, I access it internally as mcswartz.org.swartz (as I showed above).
My problem is that on some of the administration pages, some links link to http://mcswartz.org.swartz/mailman/... and other's link to http://www.mcswartz.org/mailman/...
For example, from http://mcswartz.org.swartz/mailman/admin/listname/members, I can access all of the "configuration categories" correctly, but I cannot "Go to list archives". Even more annoying, I can only see the A's that are subscribed to my list because all of the other letters link to the www.mcswartz.org URLs, which I cannot access internally.
