== 4.57. How do I administer the 'mailman' list (site list)? ==

See also [[../4.25 What is the purpose of the site-wide mailing list?|4.25 What is the purpose of the site-wide mailing list?]].

{{{
I can't reach the admindb (or the admin pages) page for the 'mailman' list--
going to http://www.example.com/mailman/admindb/mailman redirects me back to
http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo.
}}}

The problem is you have a redirect in your web server that is too agressive. You may have something like

{{{
 RedirectMatch /mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo
}}}

in your httpd.conf. This should be anchored as in

{{{
 RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo
}}}

In the mean time, you can get to the admindb pages for the mailman list by appending /x (or /anything) to the url as in

{{{
 http://www.example.com/mailman/admindb/mailman/x
}}}

(Note that allowing such "URL roulette" may change in the future, [[http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1879338|http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1879338]] )
