Can't think of why it might have changed, but have you checked to make 
sure the ScriptAlias directive in your apache conf is set correctly?

I do expect the problem (at least this one) is in your mm_cfg.py file. 
The DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN (in mm_cfg.py) should be something like 
'http://%s/mailman/' or 'http://dom.ain/mailman/'. I'm assuming that 
you don't have mailman installed within your apache cgi-bin - somehow I 
don't think that would be a good idea...

If changes had originally been made to Defaults.py instead of mm_cfg.py 
then those changes were likely overwritten when you upgraded.

You might replace the mm_cfg.py file (back it up first, of course) in 
the Mailman directory with a blank one and stop/start via mailmanctl. 
If it works then you know the problem is in your mm_cfg.py file. If it 
is, start a fresh one and being moving the configuration over one line 
at a time until you find the problem. If you want to send me your 
mm_cfg.py file (via private mail) I'll look over it and see if I can 
see any obvious problems in it for you.


BTW, did you ever find your log files?
