[Mailman-Users] Mailman archives

[Uthra Rao]

I added the correct path to the pipermail alias in the httpd.conf file and 
restarted apache. I can now access the archive by typing 
http://hostname/pipermail/newlist.

Thank you very much for your help.

>/var/lib/mailman/archives/public/newlist is a symlink to
