I am trying to setup mailman and am using apache22 with a number of

After installed from /usr/ports/mail/mailman I find I have the
mailman files
in /usr/local/mailman.
I am puzzled about what files are meant to be placed in the path of
the server
root..(presumably my_virtual_server_name/mailman). I have looked at
docs but
if there is info on this I have failed to find it. Should I have
compiled
with prefix=/usr2/virtualwebs/my_virtual_server_name/ or should
this be in
some config file?
The short answer is apache's Alias and ScriptAlias directives.
Here's a bit of mine
ScriptAlias /mailman "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin"
Alias /pipermail "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public"
Alias /icons "/usr/local/mailman/icons"
Take a look at
/usr/local/share/doc/mailman/FreeBSD-post-install-notes
That tell you the kind of thing that you need to do to configure
apache to find these things. It will also point you to other mailman
installation material in that directory.
Below is a larger excerpt from my /usr/local/etc/apache22/extras/
httpd-vhosts.conf
## lists.shepard-families.org
<VirtualHost *:80>

Ideally, it would be nice if the port deposited a sample
configuration file in /usr/local/etc/apache-VERSION/Includes
But I don't know how to do that with all of the different apache
ports (which, I believe, differ in how they organize the
configuration files).
Good luck with this. As you can see I'm running mailman and apache22
(and postfix) from ports and am very happy with it.
