[Mailman-Users] Cannot navigate to admin web portal

[Kayla Manchette]

Hello,

I have recently installed the mailman version that comes with Ubuntu 
Server 16.04, so I believe that's 2.1.20 (hopefully).

I am having when issue where when I try to navigate to the admin page on 
my server, I receive a 404 error that looks like it is coming from 
Nginx. At least that's what it says on the bottom of the page that 
comes. I don't know why, I thought I had set it up with Apache.

I thought I had found the proper code to put in my Nginx file, this:

location /cgi-bin/mailman {
         root /usr/lib/;
         fastcgi_split_path_info (^/cgi-bin/mailman/[^/]*)(.*)$;
         include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
         fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
         fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
         fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
         fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
         fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
     }
     location /images/mailman {
         alias /usr/share/images/mailman;
     }
     location /pipermail {
         alias /var/lib/mailman/archives/public; autoindex on;
     }

But that did not seem to do anything. Attached (hopefully) you will find 
my full Nginx default configuration so that you can see the whole thing.

I also have mailcow-dockerized installed on this server. Could this 
possibility be the reason that the web interface will not work? I have 
not tried if the command line interface works (I probably should) but I 
want to get the web interface working for my users.

If anyone can help me figure out why this is happening, that would be 
awesome. I am trying to get this figured out kind of quickly.
