No list Manage button in mailman dashboard

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version Rocky 8

Virtualmin version 7.20.1

In the mailman list management dashboard I see the various lists, but there is no “Manage” buttton for any of them. For each list I only see a red Delete, a plain Members, and an orange Reset Password button.

Does anyone have an idea why virtualmin is not showing the Manage button? Thanks much for whatever you might offer!

Mailman has nothing to do with Virtualmin, post in the webmin section and not sure how well managed that module as last update looks to be 2003.

Thanks for the reply. I have been running mailman for at least a couple of decades, so I know it well. And yes, it is long past its prime! virtualmin provides an interface to mailman that has occasionally had bugs. mailman may not be used much in virtualmin, so that interface may not receive much attention.

Really, I didn’t know that, in the virtualmin section? If so Joe maybe able to help.

Poking around in the function “get_mailman_web_urls” this line is failing:

my $d = &virtual_server::get_domain_by("dom", $list->{'dom'});

The value of $list->{‘dom’} is the proper virtual host.

The function returns an array $d, but the value of $d->{‘web’} is ‘0’, and the function immediately exits on that condition.

I am not sure what the ‘web=0’ parameter in the vmin config file means, but I would guess it means the website is enabled.

The mailman vhost does not have a website; in the vmin config ‘Apache website enabled’ and ‘Apache SSL website enabled’ are not enabled. This vhost has been in service for years and has worked well until some vmin update, I suppose; we only rarely need to work with the lists, so I don’t know when the Manage button disappeared.

So does the mailman dashboard now require that a website be enabled for the vhost?

I added the ‘Apache website enabled’ and ‘Apache SSL website enabled’ on that vhost, and now the mailman list manage works.

I don’t know what changed, but I wish it had not; I do not want an active web site on that vhost.

At least I can manage the lists again.
