Jon:

Thanks, this solved the problem. I changed the DEFAULT_URL in my mm_cfg.py file so that the BASE_URL on all my new lists now defaults to this value. I figured it was something simple.

Thanks again,

My mailman install fails to use the /mailman/ alias when making calls to cgi scripts.

For example: When I click on the mailman admin interface link, it directs me here:

http:///admin/grnds-user as opposed to http:///mailman/admin/grnds-user

So, if i put the following in my httpd.conf file, it works fine...

ScriptAlias / /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/ as opposed to ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/

However, this screws up other areas of my web application. Thus, I really need mailman to use the /mailman/ alias when executing the cgi-scripts. Is there some special parameter i need to pass the .configure script to tell mailman to use the alias.

In the admin setup, under "General Options" what is the Base URL set to? Based on your example above, it should be: http:///mailman/

If you left off the /mailman/ on the end, then that would account for what you described...
