They are... but thanks for the tip on how to not rewrite if the port is
the right one already... can't hurt to add it so I did...

I meant I don't have a specific apache2 listener for mailman, like I do
for my other websites, I've only been (tryingto) add the rewrite rule (I
keep my rewrite rules in one .conf file, and the vhosts in individual
files per host)... maybe I need to create one that is listening on the
correct port, like I have for my other non-mailman vhosts?

Just tried, nope, it does the looping thing then gives the same error.

So, you're saying it is ok/normal for both the ssl and non-ssl pages to
work, even after I changed mm_cfg

As for logs...

With the redirect commented, I can get to the non-ssl pages just fine...

Trying to go to the ssl page, it gives the same error, and this is in
the error_log:

[Thu Dec 23 14:33:04 2010] [error] [client 192.168.1.110]
mod_mime_magic: can't read `/usr/lib64/mailman/cgi-bin/admin'
[Thu Dec 23 14:33:04 2010] [error] [client 192.168.1.110] client denied
by server configuration: /usr/htdocs

Then, after commenting out the redirect and restarting apache, when I
try to go to the normal page (which should redirect to the ssl page), I
get the same error, nothing in the ssl logs, and only this in the
access_log:

192.168.1.110 - - [23/Dec/2010:14:37:19 -0500] "GET
/mailman/admin/listname/ HTTP/1.1" 301 349

and these two lines in the error_log:

[Thu Dec 23 14:37:06 2010] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
[Thu Dec 23 14:37:09 2010] [notice] Apache/2.2.16 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.16
OpenSSL/1.0.0c configured -- resuming normal operations

<sigh>

Is there some kind of .conf parser for apache that will show the current
configs it is using, similar to 'postconf -n' for postfix?
