RewriteRule ^/(mailman[/]{0,1}){0,1}$ /mailman/listinfo [L,R]
and the ones you suggested is that mine also redirects requests for / to /mailman/listinfo. You may or may not want that functionality, of course. Again, I don't claim to be an expert in any of this stuff... considering your comments, perhaps this would be the best for what I want to do:
RewriteRule ^/(mailman(|/)){0,1}$ /mailman/listinfo [PT]
I don't know if you can use nested parentheses, and I don't know if the PT flag is something I'd want, but whatever works...

That way, it only catches it if "/mailman" occurs at the beginning of
the string.
Personally, I use a little more inclusive regular expression, because I
want it to also redirect any requests for the top level
(http://lists.example.com) to the listinfo page:
RewriteRule ^[/]{0,1}(mailman[/]{0,1}){0,1}$ /mailman/listinfo
[L,R]
RedirectMatch permanent ^/mailman(|/)$ /mailman/listinfo
or, if you have mod_rewrite and the rewrite engine on:
RewriteRule ^/mailman(|/)$ /mailman/listinfo [R,L]
or even better:
RewriteRule ^/mailman(|/)$ /mailman/listinfo [PT]
The latter has the advantage, courtesy of the PT flag, of delivering the /mailman/listinfo page immediately instead of making the browser do a second request (each time it visits) to follow the redirection response produced by the initial request, if that request's URI path was /mailman or /mailman/
I claim to be no master of regular expressions, though... because wow that looks ugly. That notwithstanding, I think my advice on your situation is correct.Greg On Saturday, January 18, 2003, at 02:09 AM, Paul Kleeberg wrote:I know this is a simple question but I don't have the knowledge to--

I am running RedHat 8.0 and which came with Mailman 2.0.13. It
suggests adding the following to the httpd.conf file:
# Uncomment the following line, replacing www.example.com with your
server's
# name, to redirect queries to /mailman to the listinfo page
(recommended).
# RedirectMatch /mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo
That used to work fine. I just upgraded to Mailman 2.1. I created
the list "mailman" as instructed at the end of section 4 of the
INSTALL document but cannot get to the administrative page
http://www.example.com/mailman/admin/mailman or the list overview page
http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo/mailman because
"RedirectMatch" thinks it is http://www.example.com/mailman and just
redirects it the top level listinfo page.
I am aware that I have two options:
1. Rename the "mailman" list
2. Remove the "RedirectMatch" statement from the httpd.conf file.
Is there a third? I tried fiddling with the regular expression, but I
just do not know what I am doing. Any help would be appreciated.
