You probably followed some of my instructions. I've not had a chance to get back to update them. In the mailman list directories you'll find that there are links to the archives. I had the same issue after I did mine, it took a bit to figure it out but simply deleting the links and making new ones to the correct location on the new machine fixed it for me.

I've determined that in this case, it's a simple matter of misconfiguration. Attempts to view list advertisements at http://www.mydomain.com/mailman/listinfo yields no results. However, connecting to http://mydomain.com/mailman/listinfo works fine.
However, Apache 2 still 403s when attempting to access /pipermail/gubug/, using either hostname....

My question at this point is this: what Mailman directories should Apache allow access to? Section 4 of the INSTALL document says to allow access from all for /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin, but in order to access my public archives I also must enable it for /usr/local/mailman/archives/public.

Naturally, I'd like to only allow access to those parts of Mailman that are *absolutely* necessary to be accessed by subscribers. I'm interested to know if anyone has already distilled these paths before I start experimenting.
Thanks!
