Hello Mark,

My fault - cut & paste typo. What I actually did was:

Withlist -l -r fix_url testsdu -u newdomain.sdu.dk

And I have

VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off in mm_cfg.py.

I can address the list on : http://newdomain.sdu.dk/mailman/listinfo/testsdu But all other lists area addressed on: http://mymailserver.sdu.dk/mailman/listinfo/somelist

What.s The problem ??

Regards

Peter

If you did literally the above, it didn't work. You must not have a .py extension on fix_url. Also, it appears you are trying to do two lists. This requires two commands:

withlist -l -r fix_url testsdu -u newdomain.sdu.dk withlist -l -r fix_url mytest -u newdomain.sdu.dk

And then genaliases to rebuild the virtiual-mailman file

I can address the list and everything seems to work apart from the list is missing on the web when using the listinfo command. I'm sure that his is because a url is changed but I can't find out where. It's not in the config file. Where to look ??

If the above is not the issue, then perhaps you are not visiting the correct listinfo URL. Lists whose host in their web_page_url attribute is newdomain.sdu.dk will only appear on the listinfo page http://newdomain.sdu.dk/mailman/listinfo. They won't appear on any other host's listinfo unless you set VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off in mm_cfg.py. See the FAQs at http://wiki.list.org/x/6oA9 and http://wiki.list.org/x/mIA9.

Hi Mark,

Thanks again for taking your time to look into the problem.

The only links that is using the new domain is on the overview page and when linking to the archives.

If I put this into the config file:

web_page_url = 'http://mymailserver.sdu.dk/mailman'

The links are correct.

best regards

Peter

Check the list's Privacy options... -> Subscription rules -> advertised setting.

If VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off is in mm_cfg.py the advertised setting is the only thing that controls whether a list appears on overviews.

Hi Mark,

Thanks again for clarifying my thoughts. I found a recipe when googling that used the fix_url.py script

I should instead just read the docs - sorry.

So to summarize.

I change the host-name on the general options page and then run genaliases to rebuild the virtual-mailman.db file. Thats it - so simple.

Sorry for all my confusion on this.

regards

Peter

Now I am thoroughly confused. I thought the original issue was that you wanted the list to be in the newdomain.sdu.dk domain so you did

withlist -l -r fix_url testsdu -u newdomain.sdu.dk

and then the list didn't appear on the listinfo overview. But, you had (or put) VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off in mm_cfg.py, and the list was then on the overview, but now the issue is that the links on the overview and for the archive had the newdomain.sdu.dk host and you apparently wanted them to have the mymailserver.sdu.dk host.

So the question is why did you run

withlist -l -r fix_url testsdu -u newdomain.sdu.dk

in the first place, since all it does is effectively set

web_page_url = 'http://newdomain.sdu.dk/mailman'

and set the list's host_name to the corresponding email domain.

By running the withlist command and then setting the host in web_page_url back to mymailserver.sdu.dk, at most, all you have done is change the list's email domain which you could have done in the first place by just setting the list's host_name on the web admin General Options page.
