Difficulty with list creation procedures.
My webserver is intended to host a number of sites each one of which will
provide, among other things,maillists. The primary site is www.vizion200.net.
Access to www.vizion2000.net/mailman/create responds with the result that the
mailing list has been created. The source code read by the browser,for the
page is shown below:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="/usr2/virtualwebs/icons/mm-icon.png">
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii">
<TITLE>Mailing list creation results</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="white">
<table WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0">
<tr>
<td BGCOLOR="#99ccff"><center><strong><font size="+1">Mailing list
creation results</font></strong></center></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>You have successfully created the mailing list
<b>mytest6</b> and notification has been sent to the list owner
<b>david@vizion2000.net</b>. You can now:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<ul>

the list's admin page</a>

another list</a>
</ul>
</td>

Each of the above referrer lines for the img_src are shown with the absolute
path correctly specified in the page source.

However the apache server is receiving incorrect path requests from mailman:

It looks as though mailman is trying to add whole or part of the absolute path
to the absolute path!! weird.
_______________________________
When I checked the properties for each of the three icons at the bottom of the
mail list creation page I found that the sought path is, for example:
http://www.vizion2000.net/usr2/virtualwebs/icons/PythonPowered.png
but should be
/usr2/virtualwebs/icons/PythonPowered.png
The relevant line in mm_cfg.py
IMAGE_LOGOS = '/usr2/virtualwebs/icons/'
I am not certain whether it may/maynot help to know that all web sites are
located at the absolute paths /usr2/virtualwebs/<my.domain.ain>.
Freebsd 6.1
Postfix
Apache22
Thanks in advance
