Mailman Generating Incorrect Archive URL

Hi everyone,

First time on these forums. I've been a reseller on a WHM/CPanel server for a while, and now I'm taking the plunge to operating my own. A thanks for the nice little newbie HOWTO, by the way.

Anyway, onto the point:

The company that I am operating with set-up WHM/CPanel originally as test.test.com. I of course have since changed the hostname, and I thought that I had changed it correctly. The logs are indicating the new hostname.

I am experiencing a weird problem with Mailman, however. It seems that Mailman is generating the incorrect link to the archives page. Instead of domain.tld/pippermail/list_name, it is generating test.test.com/pippermail/list_name for all accounts. I don't know what's going on -- and I particularly don't understand where test.test.com is coming from!

An example of what's happening can be seen at http://listhq.com/mailman/listinfo/test_listhq.com.

I'm at a loss. I don't know what to do! Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Yikes!

Okay, so I had thought that I had scanned the forum archives adequately before posting. It turns out I hadn't. The best and most relevant match is at:

Are the cPanel folks even thinking about fixing this? This is a major problem! The thread above is from AUGUST!

As the company that set-up my system had initially set it up as test.test.com, I had to manually edit /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py to include the correct hostname as follows:

Code:

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'servername.domain.tld'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'servername.domain.tld'
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/'

And for any virtual hosts you want to work with their own domains, you need to also add the following:

Code:

add_virtualhost('domain.tld','domain.tld')

I would just like to note that the links are only invalid when archives are public.

I hope this helps anyone that finds themselves in a similar situation to me. I've spent way too long trying to figure this one out.
