I recently installed mailman on a new Ubuntu server. The setup went through without a hitch ... Or so I thought.
When I try to log into my installation of mailman using a browser: http://www.myhostname.com/cgi-bin/mailman/admin, there is a 404 error page.
However, when I go to http://myipaddress/cgi-bin/mailman/admin It works fine.
Is this a DNS issue?
The only error message I get when starting my server is the following:
NameVirtualHost myipaddress has no VirtualHosts mailman

I don't know what the trailing "mailman" is about, but the above basically means that as far as Apache is concerned you don't have any "named" hosts.
If you have a NameVirtualHost directive for an IP address, all configuration of the document tree outside of a VirtualHost directive will be ignored; you won't have anything to serve to browsing clients. I thought the documentation implied that would apply to the ipaddress too, but apparently you got lucky on that one.
See the Apache documentation for how to set up virtual hosts.

From your other post, it seems you have installed an Ubuntu package using Ubuntu documentation.
I suggest that you will find people more knowledgeable about your particular situation by using Ubuntu support resources.
