[Mailman-Users] Extra http: and mailman in URLs under admin

[Michael Clark]

Yes, the problem was the DEFAULT_URL_HOST was set with the full URL, 
not just the hostname. Running "bin/withlist -l -r fix_url listname" 
fixed the problem. Thanks very much for the pointer on where to look 
for the fix. Michael
