[Mailman-Users] First time user of Mailman - setup question

[Colin Bester]

Firstly my apologies for asking a question I am sure has been asked
before but I couldn't see a way to view archives.

I have installed Mailman-2.0.11 on Mandrake Linux 7.2 and have attempted
to follow the instructions.

I have and one problem and a question.

My question is what should I enter for the DEFAULT_URL. In my case my
web server is sitting at port 7777 and I am wanting to know if
DEFAULT_URL should equal "http://abc.com/mailman/" or
"http://abc.com:7777/mailman/"

My problem (and I am sure it is my problem, but am having a very dumb
moment)
When running newlist I get a perl script exception stating "host could
not be found". 

Now I would have thought this would have been a pretty basic error and I
confirmed that in the mm_cfg.py file I have entered the 

DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = "host.abc.com"

I am also able to ping the hostname that I entered in this file so I am
a bit lost and would appreciate some input.

BTW I have Perl V5.6 on my linux box

Thanks,
Colin
