500 errors with certain domains
I have been running mailman on a Freebsd server for about 10 years. I am now migrating to a bigger server running Centos. The problems I have been having I have been able to work through with all the help posted in these lists and forums, but I am at a point where I am stuck. If i connect via my ip address: 216.xxx.xxx.xxx/mailman/listinfo, I get in, I see no lists even though I made a mailman list as public, I can the got to the admin page, still do not see the list, but I can go to 216.xxx.xxx.xxx/mailman/admin/mailman and log in. Once there if I go to post a message in the waiting for moderator, when I hit the save changes button, the url reverts to http://draguncomputers/mailman/admin/mailman and I get a 500 error. I have virtual hosts, and only one uses the list. System CentOS 6 with Cpanel.

Set this to 0 to disable image logos from "our # sponsors" and just use textual links instead (this will also disable the # shortcut "favicon"). Otherwise, this should contain the URL base path to # the logo images (and must contain the trailing slash)..

For example, if people visit your Mailman system # with "http://www.dom.ain/mailman" then your url fqdn is "www.dom.ain", and # if people send mail to your system via "yourlist@dom.ain" then your email # fqdn is "dom.ain". DEFAULT_URL_HOST controls the former, and # DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST controls the latter. Mailman also needs to know how to # map from one to the other (this is especially important if you're running # with virtual domains). You use "add_virtualhost(urlfqdn, emailfqdn)" to add # new mappings. # # If you don't need to change DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and DEFAULT_URL_HOST in your # mm_cfg.py, then you're done; the default mapping is added automatically.

If you want the url to be 216.xxx.xxx.xxx/mailman/admin/mailman run Mailman's bin/withlist -l -r fix_url -u 216.xxx.xxx.xxx It shouldn't be necessary to post Defaults.py as you should never change it. All changes should be made by overrides in mm_cfg.py. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/fIA9>.

If this was uncommented at Jun 17 21:47:39 2014, it explains the error log entry below. It should be PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = 'http://%(hostname)s/pipermail/%(listname)s' This should be the Default value that's in Defaults.py. The space between '%' and '(' will cause the "ValueError: unsupported format character '(' (0x28) at index 9" exception. and the misspelled names will also cause problems
#DEFAULT_EMAILHOST = 'draguncomputers.com'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear add_virtualhost('www.draguncomputers.com, draguncomputers.com') add_virtualhost('www.askchip.com, askchip.com')
You may or may not want the above. You probably want add_virtualhost('216.xxx.xxx.xxx', 'whatever.the.email.host.is')
