Look in the logs of your web server.
Look at the source of the admindb page you are trying to submit. In particular you are looking for a FORM tag like
<FORM action="some URL" method="POST" >Does that URL look correct? If not see lines 67-95 at https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/view/head:/Mailman/...
Hi Mark,
It looks right to me. This is all I see:
192.168.0.196 - - [24/Apr/2024:11:30:03 -0400] "GET /mailman/admindb/cufsalumni HTTP/1.1" 200 2091 192.168.0.196 - - [24/Apr/2024:11:30:03 -0400] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 200 5882 192.168.0.196 - - [24/Apr/2024:11:30:05 -0400] "POST /mailman/admindb/cufsalumni HTTP/1.1" 200 6964
Your POST gets a 200 status. If it doesn't update it's most likely because the URL is http and is being redirected to https and losing the POST data. See https://wiki.list.org/x/4030602 - you need to ensure the scheme in DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN is https, not http.
Although that said, I don't know why that would cause a timeout.
Again, look at the source of the admindb page in your web browser. Look for
<FORM action="http(s)://mailman/admindb/cufsalumni" method="POST" >If the scheme is http, the above applies and you need to set
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/'in mm_cfg.py
Hi Mark,
I figured out the issue and the URL is basically correct. The bottom line is that an AT&T router is blocking my IP for some reason. How to fix it is another problem as I don't expect AT&T to do anything about it. Not sure when this started.
Anyway, here is the issue. I don't have a static IP address so I am using dyndns-ip.com. Most of the links on the admin page uses just 'dap002' as the URL host which uses only the LAN. However, the submit and a couple of other links use dyndns-ip.com in the URL which sends it out over the WAN. I never had a problem with that until now. It has been eons since I've configured mailman so I've pretty much forgotten what/how I did it. I guess for the admin pages only, I need to make all the links just dap002 since I only access them on the LAN. The public pages still need to use dyndns-ip.com in the URL. Is there a way to do that?
Even if AT&T fixes the problem it would still be better if all the admin stuff is done only on the LAN.
Thanks.
