[Mailman-Users] mailman webfrontend under different url

[Richard Barrett]

You should:

1. leave the definition for DEFAULT_URL as None as per the default in 
$prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py. It is only there for backwards compatibility 
and its role has been taken over by DEFAULT_URL_HOST and DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN.

2. use the $prefix/bin/withlist script fix_url.py to set the web_page_url 
of your existing lists to use the value you have assigned in mm_cfg.py

3. do mailmanctl restart as a precaution

And all should now be well. Newly created lists will pick up your 
DEFAULT_URL_HOST value. The problem you have is that existing lists are 
using the old value and fix_url.py should fix that.

Post again if this does not work for you.
