changing only the web interface url
Dear list, during a change in a domain name the follwoing has happened.
- a list XXX was created with domain newdomain.org, that is the default domain.
- I had lists on olddomain.org that I don't want to keep.
- the list interface was redirected initially lists.olddomain.org
- now I completed the set-up and redirected the web interface to lists.newdomain.org
- admin login for XXX on lists.newdomain.org does not work, i believe because the web interface is still convinced to be on lists.olddomain.org
I understand that if I use fix_url it will change both the web interface url and the list domain, which is something unwanted. So What I think I'll do is to make a command.txt file containing:
web_page_url = 'http://lists.newdomain.org'
and run
config_list -i command.txt XXX
this should change the web_page_url variable, right?
I'm asking to the ML because if I run the config_list -o command I see that the web_page_url variable is used but never set and if I run with -i -c options it tells me that a "non-standard parameter" has been found named web_page_url.
Mailman is debian stable standard version
dpkg -l mailman
ii mailman 1:2.1.11-11
thanks, leonardo.

fix_url changes the lists web_page_url based on DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN and the provided urlhost argument or DEFAULT_URL_HOST, and it changes the lists host_name (email domain) to the email host corresponding to the provided urlhost per the add_virtualhost() mapping or to DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST.
Why is this not what you want?

Yes, you can do this, and it will work.

config_list -o only outputs those settings which are visible in the admin GUI.
config_list -i will set anything you give it, but if you give it a setting that isn't in the GUI it gives the non-standard parameter message, but it sets it anyway.
