What am I missing?
I just installed mailman 2.1.16 on a new (CentOS 6) server and copied the data and configuration data from my old server (CentOS 5) also running mailman 2.1.16. The old server is stil the 'production server' and mailman's page is mailman.deepsoft.com. I am trying to test things on the new server but I am having a problem I cannot figure out. I changed the http mailman.conf to have a ServerName of mailman2.deepsoft.com and changed things in the /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py to have the default URL be mailman2.deepsoft.com, but for some (unknown) reason, when I go to mailman2.deepsoft.com in firefox, it redirects to mailman.deepsoft.com. If I use lynx, it properly goes to http://mailman2.deepsoft.com/mailman/listinfo, but displays a bug message. Why? What config file did I miss?

I just tried going to <http://mailman2.deepsoft.com/mailman/listinfo> and got the bug page. so that's one issue. What's in Mailman's error log for these?
The other issue may just be something in your browser or it may be Mailman. For Mailman, see the FAQ article at <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030616>.

Yeah, but it work. I may upgrade to 2.1.18 or 2.1.20 -- I have the SRPMs from Fedora 21 and I'll bring them home tonight...

OK, I discovered it was a file permission issue I chowned the /var/log/mailman dir to apache:mailman. I did the same for /var/lib/mailman as well.
Now the http://mailman2.deepsoft.com/mailman/listinfo 'works', but does not list any lists -- they are there and if the lists are manually entered you can visit them -- it is *acting* like none of the lists are 'advertized'.

The answer is in the above FAQ article, or more obviously in the one at <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030613>.
If you are just testing and plan eventually to change the domain of the new server to the production domain, then you may not want to change the lists, but even for testing if you want post URLs to be to the new server, you have to run 'fix_url' and change the lists.
Otherwise, you can just set VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off or ignore the issue.

Yes. I set VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off in /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py and will take that out once I make the new server the production server.
