Lists not shown on "listinfo"-site

Hello,
we had some problems with apache2 and mailman - after upgrading the server the lists are not shown anymore on the listinfo-site
http://myserver/mailman/listinfo
Under /var/lib/mailman/list my lists are still there - i guess the databaseconfig isn't read properly or could it be missconfiguration in apache2?
Thanks!
Ivan

Most likely ah issue with apache2. Can you paste your Apache config directives regarding Mailman, and the ones you included in your Apache2 config?
(Grepping the old configfiles for 'mailman' should be sufficient to find the interesting ones.)

"""This is the module which takes your site-specific settings.
From a raw distribution it should be copied to mm_cfg.py. If you already have an mm_cfg.py, be careful to add in only the new settings you want. The complete set of distributed defaults, with annotation, are in ./Defaults. In mm_cfg, override only those you want to change, after the
from Defaults import *
line (see below).
Note that these are just default settings - many can be overridden via the admin and user interfaces on a per-list or per-user basis.
Note also that some of the settings are resolved against the active list setting by using the value as a format string against the list-instance-object's dictionary - see the distributed value of DEFAULT_MSG_FOOTER for an example."""

Hello Patrick,
thanks for your message!
I could not figure it out yet - I still have to study the FAQ article you told me - I'll give you feedback as soon as possible!
Thanks again!

I have edited the above FAQ article to try to make it more clear. If you've looked at the prior version, you might find the current version more helpful.

Hello Mark, hello Patrick,
I read the article again and found the solution here:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.029.htp
I had to do a "withlist -l -a -r fix_url" cause obviously after fixing apache, configuration of mailman was touched (by me?). Now the lists appear again and I also tweaked it to ssl-support :-)
Thanks for your help! Very good support on this list!!!
Best wishes, Ivan
