4.29 or 4.27? Both those FAQs ar valid. Perhaps it would help us understand if you told us *exactly* what you are trying to accomplish. E.g., are you really trying to force all access via https port 443 or are you trying to do something else: Also note that step 1 of FAQ 4.27 is only to get an initial access to an http URL redirected to https. You still need to do steps 2 and 3 to make the form action URLs go to the correct place without redirection so as to not lose the form data. >> You want to set DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN and possibly PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL in >> mm_cfg.py so that all Mailman generated URLs contain the port. >> >> I.e., the defaults for these are >> >> DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/' >> PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = 'http://%(hostname)s/pipermail/%(listname)s' >> >> and you would put >> >> DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s:pppp/mailman/' >> PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = 'http://%(hostname)s:pppp/pipermail/%(listname)s' >> >> in mm_cfg.py where pppp is the desired port.

What is the "correct" URL? Note that the changes I suggest above only affect what URLs are generated as links and for posting of forms. They don't affect what happens when you go to one. You may have some kind of circular redirect going on in Apache as noted in step 1 of FAQ 4.27, or there may be some other problem. It is difficult to say what without seeing your httpd.conf and all included files.
