You are probably going to need the site admin to help you out. There are two easy ways to recover from this: - replace the config.db with the config.db.bak (the last known good version of the database...) The files are in each lists directory: ~mailman/lists/<list-name>/... - Create a link (or series of links) in your directory structure to mimic the URL you punched in to the Admin site. You might even need to play with the /etc/hosts file to point the domain name to the proper place. Remember to set VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = 1 in your ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py file
You should also be able to use the ~mailman/bin/config_list command to output the configuration, edit it, then read it back in again. I think this would be a harder option.
