That made it possible to create a list in the new domain, subscribe people and post messages. However, messages are not archived. What extra step is needed to enable archiving?

Archive policy: Private archives
Archive archivers: hyperkitty, prototype

These lists of lists are domain specific and should not be listed together. That’s just IMHO, but not serious, as I will soon get rid of anything in the old domain. So feel free to ignore this one if this is intended, which I could see might be the case.

Yes, Brian told me to do the same. This is the what I wrote back:

hansen at rccrmail:/opt/mailman/mm$ sudo vi settings.py

Edited the setting to:
# Only display mailing-lists from the same virtual host as the webserver
FILTER_VHOST = True

Then Brian told me to restart qcluster:
hansen at rccrmail:/opt/mailman/mm$ sudo systemctl restart qcluster

I then logged in, but the same lists are showing. It either takes the system a long time to reset or it has ignored the 
setting.
Just tried it again, and the lists are all showing. Do I need to manually recompile the file?

Well, I was able to post to the lists, so I assume it is. Listing at processes, I see a bunch of postgres, python3, nginx, django-adminp but
nothing explicitly with a ‘mailman’ string.

hansen at rccrmail:/opt/mailman/mm/logs$ tail -f mailmansuite.log
    return Site.objects.get_current(request)
  File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/contrib/sites/models.py", line 60, in get_current
    return self._get_site_by_request(request)
  File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/contrib/sites/models.py", line 45, in _get_site_by_request
    SITE_CACHE[domain] = self.get(domain__iexact=domain)
  File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/db/models/manager.py", line 82, in manager_method
    return getattr(self.get_queryset(), name)(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/db/models/query.py", line 408, in get
    self.model._meta.object_name
django.contrib.sites.models.Site.DoesNotExist: Site matching query does not exist.

[ABH] At this point I click to accept a subsription request:

ERROR 2020-01-06 07:32:41,439 699 postorius.middleware Mailman REST API not available
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/http/client.py", line 265, in _read_status
    raise RemoteDisconnected("Remote end closed connection without"
http.client.RemoteDisconnected: Remote end closed connection without response

So yes, the REST API is not there. How can I get it going? 
Before we added the new domain, I was able to accept subscription requests to the previous domain’s lists. No more.

Yours,
