[Mailman-Users] virtual hosts and https follow-up

[Dan Collins]

Hello Vince, Mark and all --

Well, I ran the withlists program (duh! can't believe I forgot to do this) 
on the one list I want to run from the second-virtual -host only. But now 
(maybe before, too), I can go into any list under https xxx.org, https 
www.xxx.org, https www.second-virtual-host, but not just plain https 
second-virtual-host. (It recognizes the server Alias but not the server 
name). The confusion only appears to be happening with mailman.Yes, I 
restarted Apache. Obviously, this is not what I want and I should have just 
left well enough alone. Dang.

Vince, I have four virtual hosts on my machine (running Apache) - In 
httpd.conf,  I have the ip address with port 80 or 443 for each of the two 
hosts. I have mailman and pipermail set up for each host under the 443 port 
like so

<VirtualHost xxx.xx.xxx.xx:443>

Alias   /pipermail     "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public"

 <Directory "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public">
 AddDefaultCharset Off
 Options FollowSymLinks
 AllowOverride None
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /mailman    "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin"

<Directory "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin">
        Options ExecCGI FollowSymlinks MultiViews
   AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

All enclosed in the <VirtualHost xxx.xx.xxx.xx:443> container for each host

>> Hello All -
>>
>> With Mark Sapiro's help, I got Mailman running on my apache
>> virtual server, at least for the most important virtual host,
>> xxx.org.  I'd like to get Mailman to deliver from either of
>> my two virtual hosts both over https. I have mailman and
>> pipermail dirs set up in httpd.conf under each of the virtual
>> hosts. I'm using Sendmail.
>>
>> So, before unsubscribing from this list, I have a couple of
>> questions. -
>>
>> 1) In the mm_cfg.py file, I have
>>
>> DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'xxxx.org'
>> DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'xxxx.org'
>> DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/'
>> VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
>> add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) (NOTE:
>> doesn't need quotes, right? It worked fine without quotes)
>> add_virtualhost('second-virtual-host.com',
>> 'second-virtual-host.com') (NOTE: needs quotes or I get an
>> error message when running mailmanctl restart)
>>
>> Right now, the list I want to run from second-virtual-host
>> and its admin pages come up under https://xxxx.org . When I
>> try to use the web interface from
>> second-virtual-host/mailman/admin/list-name, I get 404 error
>> still under https://xxxx.org .
>>
>> I changed the list setting to second-virtual-host.com, so now
>> Overview at the bottom of the page includes
>> second-virtual-host.com, but all links at the bottom of the
>> page (including Overview) shows the url as https://xxxx.org .
>> In other words, I can not reach the list from
>> second-virtual-host.com, either http or https.
>>
>> I hope that this message is clear enough to spell out my
>> problem and hopefully initiate a useful response.

>> Thanks as always.
