[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#425981: mailman: public list archive has invalid URL, only private URL works

[Nagy Gabor Peter]

Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.9-7
Severity: normal

I have a list, archiving is activated, the archive is set to be public.

On the listinfo page and on tha admin page the links to the list
archives point to http://server/pipermail/listname

Following this link you get 404.

Writing https://server/cgi-bin/mailman/private/listname it works. This
is the link that I have on the admin page if I switch the archive to
private. This link works even if the archive is set to public (you have
to authenticate yourself)

So it seems that the list archives are always private, and setting it to
public changes the URL on the pages only.

Cheers,
Gabor
