cannot change host_name in admin/mailman/general
I'm sorry for the newbie question, but I've only been able find closely related answer to this question in the sourceforge bug tracker [875971]that contains a patch ,
- hostname = mm_cfg.DEFAULT_HOST_NAME or mm_cfg.DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST
- hostname = mm_cfg.DEFAULT_URL_HOST or mm_cfg.DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST
and I'm not sure this is correct for me since I've installed the port (2.1.4 which contains a couple of patches).
When I attempt to update the host_name variable from the http://my.domain.com/mailman/admin/mailman/general, the url contains the name specified by my "official" ISP and I cannot change the value to match the domain name I use for mail (forestinformatics.com) nor can I change it to the name of my server (stimpy) to test and configure mailman from behind my firewall. In fact, when I phoned a friend to have him change it (so when you click the "submit your changes" button, he/I would be redirected to the new url (the correct place) and it still didn't change the value.
So how do I change the host_name for the mailman list (the only one I have right now) from dsl-57.peak.org to stimpy or forestinformatics.com or anything so I can configure from either the web interface or a script?
please help... Jeff.
