Ok. I fixed the errors. The 403 Forbidden was caused by restoring logical links dependent upon a different directory layout than that used by CentOS4 (RHEL4), "/var/mailman/archives/public" vice "/var/lib/mailman/archives/public."
The logical links that got tarred from the old host pointed to "<listname> -> /var/mailman/archives/private/<listname>", which is a directory structure that does not exist on the new server, hence the error. Repairing the logical links to "<listname> -> /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/<listname>" fixed that problem. The problem with mapping the fqdn host to the mailman alias I accomplished by adding the following to the mailman.conf file. # Stolen shamelessly from # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html # [NC] No Case matching in regexp RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^inet07\.(.*)\.otherdomain\.tld [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$ RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://mailman.domain.tld/$1 # Uncomment the following line, replacing www.example.com with your # server's name, to redirect queries to /mailman to the listinfo # page (recommended). # [L,R] Last directive to match, Return without condition code. # [R=###] is available as an alternative (### = condition code).
