You need a couple of things. You need to configure your web server to do
the right thing. For example, with Apache you may have

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/mailman/       /path/to/mailman/cgi-bin/

and that needs to be changed to

ScriptAlias /mailman/       /path/to/mailman/cgi-bin/

You also need to change something like

DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/cgi-bin/mailman/'

to

DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/'

and run fix_url on all lists. See <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030616>.
