[Mailman-Users] Virtual host document root for mailman/listinfo

Thu Sep 22 13:09:20 CEST 2005

Hi,
You should make something like this in your apache.conf (or whatever you call it apache conf. file)
For SuSE for example do something like:

In /etc/apache2/default-server.conf (add these lines):
##################
##
## mailman
##

# Redirect queries to /mailman to the listinfo page (recommended)
RedirectMatch /[/]*$ http://mylists.com/mailman/listinfo

##
## end mailman
##
################## 

Regards,
Leon Kolchinsky

sorry Tom, first mail was replied falsely, wanted to send it to the list, not to you....

I made it simple,
i have put a directory "htdocs" in /home/mailman, where my mailman is installed (because of settings in suExec that does not allow to execute cgi's that are not in wwwroot), in the lists.<mydomain>.<tld> vhost i have DocumentRoot in /home/www/htdocs, in there is one html-File with this content:

<html>
<head>
<title>Redirection</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=mailman/listinfo"> </head> <body> If the redirection does not work, click <a href="mailman/listinfo">here</a>!
</body>
</html>

This is of course not a very fine solution but it works, and it works with virtual hosts too, just give every apache vhost for which you have mailinglists the DocumentRoot /home/mailman/htdocs.
