I have just nearly finished the migration of Mailman 3 from Debian packages to venv and mailman (master and runner) is up and running and uwsgi is also up and running. Just when I go to the web page https://<mydomain.tld>/mailman3 I get a server error and looking at the mailman web log I see that the ROOT_URLCONF seems to be missing.
What is the full log message including traceback if any.
Note that if you followed <https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#initial-configur...> The value for ROOT_URLCONF is imported from mailman_web.settings.base and is 'mailman_web.urls' which should be correct.
the traceback is this:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/django/core/handlers/wsgi.py", line 124, in __call__ response = self.get_response(request) File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 139, in get_response set_urlconf(settings.ROOT_URLCONF) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/opt/mailman/web/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 104, in __getattr__ val = getattr(_wrapped, name) AttributeError: 'Settings' object has no attribute 'ROOT_URLCONF' [pid: 25054|app: 0|req: 2/2] 80.152.151.47 () {76 vars in 1372 bytes} [Sun Aug 9 02:27:03 2026] GET /mailman3/ => generated 0 bytes in 5 msecs (HTTP/1.1 500) 0 headers in 0 bytes (1 switches on core 1)
Where should mailman_web.urls be located, also in /etc/mailman3 or rather in the venv of mailman_web in /opt/mailman...?
Following this thread: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/V... I added urls.py to /etc/mailman3 together with the other configuration files (settings.py, mailman.cfg and uwsgi.ini) and have added ROOT_URLCONF = 'urls' to /etc/settings.py but after restarting mailman (core) and mailman (web) the error is still there.
You shouldn't need to do that. That thread is for an unusual case.
