Mailman backend doesn't work after domain name conversion--help wanted
A couple of weeks ago, a website called uhills.org was split off from the listservs associated with the community. A new company took over the web site and moved it to 1and1. Because we have over 10 years of archives, taking up a lot of space, I wanted to keep the listservs (primarily one, uhills@uhills.org) on my server at Liquid Web. I ended up getting a new domain name, unihills.org and changing the names of the 4 listservs in multiple places to let them run on *uni*hills.org instead of uhills.org. The listservs themselves are running: emails come in and go out, but the backend does not work properly. I am getting an error with the wrong domain name in the error log fairly frequently, but yet I can't create additions to the error log; the errors look like this:
Mar 25 23:37:02 2018 (24709) error opening list: uhills_uhills.org ,
and I have been unable to track down where else the domain name needs to be changed or what actions generate the error message. I am uncertain whether this is what is causing the following problems:
- Search for member doesn't work
- Changing checkboxes for members doesn't make any difference
- Can't delete or approve held postings (they do self-delete after a couple of days)
- The login for the private archives doesn't work
We are running cpanel on CentOS at Liquid Web. I would appreciate advice.
Thank you,
Nina Macdonald

What does "can't create additions to the error log" mean?
Mar 25 23:37:02 2018 (24709) error opening list: uhills_uhills.org ,
What is the full traceback associated with this entry?

There is probably an issue with the list's 'web_page_url'
Make sure that the Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py setting for DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN, DEFAULT_URL_HOST and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST are correct (if changes are required, set them in mm_cfg.py, not Defaults.py) and run fix_url.

Actually, there won't be a traceback, but there should be a second line with more specifics about the error.
