[Mailman-Users] Web admin interface not saving changes

[Paul O'Neill]

Todd,

 thanks for the hint, we were in fact redirecting requests to https. So
we used  bin/withlist -l -r fix_url on each list to make the base URL
https instead of http. We also set the DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN =
'https://%s/mailman/' and this sorted the issue.

 I think this is one for the FAQ

paul.....

Are you doing any http redirects by chance?  That's one of the most
common reasons for the admin interface acting this way.
