Am I missing a step?
Looks like your Apache is dynamically loading modules as you have: LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so and below that somewhere I'd expect the following line: AddModule mod_rewrite.c And you need to add the following lines: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/$ /mailman/listinfo [PT] RewriteRule ^/index.html$ /mailman/listinfo [PT] I suspect the only thing that was missing was the RewriteEngine On. Add that and restart Apache. >Thanks > >MGL > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Richard Barrett > [<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: February 6, 2002 12:33 PM > > To: Lafleur Maurice; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Point directly to listinfo > > > > > > At 11:45 06/02/2002 -0500, Lafleur Maurice wrote: > > > > >The list server I am setting up is only used for lists.
