Mailman URL

Submitted by Marked on Tue, 04/21/2015 - 01:07

Hi,

When I create mailing lists (Mailman) with Virtualmin the URL to the public list info page is something like:

https://www.mydomain.com:10000/virtualmin-mailman/unauthenticated/listin...

How can I get that to be like the regular Mailman URLs such as:

http://www.mydomain.com/mailman/listinfo/my_list_name

OR (the default)

http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/my_list_name

Thanks Mark

Howdy -- if you go into Webmin -> Servers -> Virtualmin Mailman Mailing Lists, it should provide you with a way to access those various URL's.

Is that what you're after?

So the problem here is that Mailman's CGI scripts need to be run as the mailman user in order to have access to list files. However, Virtualmin by default sets up CGI scripts to run with domain owner permissions ... hence they cannot be directly executed via the URL http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/my_list_name . To work around this, Virtualmin sets up redirects to its own webserver on port 10000, which can then switch to the correct permissions.
