[Mailman-Users] cgi add seems not to work any more

[DaffyDuke]

Hello, I'm sorry to try again here but my previous post has been moderated. Sorry for my poor English.


First, I am Olivier Duquesne, an adminsitrator of L'Autre Net web
hosting service. We are using mailman (2.1.5-5.backport) on Debian
Woody. I'm sorry to post here but I did not find any answer in the faq
neither at http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ .


As we encountered lots of problems with our loadbalanced architecture
and mailman, we have now a proxypass from emma to elsa. emma and elsa
are the pretty name of our servers :-)

Now, the last issue is very blocking, we can not add members from the
cgi manually.

Some tests with my account (it's general to the site server) : when adding from 

*
http://daffyduke.lautre.net/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/ag-staff/members/add?adminpw=XXXXXX&subscribees=daffyduke%40altern.org => OK

* ./add_members -r /tmp/daffy ag-staff => OK

* from http://daffyduke.lautre.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ag-staff =>
OK

* from
http://daffyduke.lautre.net/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/ag-staff/members/add
=> KO

with this error from the user : 
Bug in Mailman version 2.1.5
We're sorry, we hit a bug!
Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of
traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited,
but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs.

Here is our trackback :

It's fun, but removal from the same interface is working.
No problem with configuration modification, archiving, or any.
