Problem with redirection when entering alias without a / at the end
Hey there,
I'm using Apache2 as the webserver, configured https://mailman.xyz.de as Web host.
When I want to get to Mailman Starting Page now I need to Enter the following URL: https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3/ to be directly redirected as expected to https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3/postorius/lists/ -> works.
Problem: When leave out the slash at the end and I ONLY enter the following URL: https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3 -> then I'm wrongly redirected to a page, taht does not exist: https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman/postorius/lists/ -> 404
Where can I change this misbehaviour? In Apache-conf everything seems as it'S in the docs, for the vHost I do not have any other custom settings.
Thank you in advance.
By the way: Is there an easy way to redirect directly from https://mailman.xyz.de to https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3/postorius/lists/ -> what would be a possibility for that?

Huh? that is the same URL as the one above that you say works. Do you mean https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman/postorius/lists without the slash or what.

What is the exact content of your RedirectMatch or ReweriteRule or whatebver you are using?

Here is the difference: https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3/ https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3
-> the first one works and leeds to https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman3/postorius/lists -> the second one redirects to https://mailman.xyz.de/mailman/postorius/lists -> which does not exist, since Apache-alias is only for mailman3

I only use the apache-conf given in the documentation:
<code> Alias /mailman3/favicon.ico /var/lib/mailman3/web/static/postorius/img/favicon.ico Alias /mailman3/static /var/lib/mailman3/web/static
<Directory "/var/lib/mailman3/web/static"> Require all granted </Directory>
<IfModule mod_proxy_uwsgi.c> ProxyPass /mailman3/favicon.ico ! ProxyPass /mailman3/static ! ProxyPass /mailman3 unix:/run/mailman3-web/uwsgi.sock|uwsgi://localhost/ </IfModule> </code>

Sorry, I missed that it was mailman vs mailman3.

I don't use uwsgi so I can't advise on its configuration, but do you have
USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST = True SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO', 'https')
in your Django settings?
-- Mark Sapiro <mark@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan
I did have the first setting, yes.
The second one no, but activated it now, no change.

I suspect this issue has something to do with the uwsgi configuration, but I'm sorry that I can't help with that as I have no experience with uwsgi - I've only used gunicorn and Apache mod_wsgi.

Can you also share your uwsgi configuration?

Sure. It's not much, when I get it right, file was created by debian-package automatically (I only post the lines without #):
->/etc/mailman3/uwsgi.ini
[uwsgi] uwsgi-socket = /run/mailman3-web/uwsgi.sock enable-threads = true chdir = /usr/share/mailman3-web wsgi-file = wsgi.py master = true process = 2 threads = 2 uid = www-data gid = www-data plugins = python3 attach-daemon = python3 manage.py qcluster logto = /var/log/mailman3/web/mailman-web.log

How about the actual uwsgi config. Maybe something like /etc/uwsgi.ini
See https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Configuration.html

Mh, actually I don't know, what you mean. I only do have one config-file and that's the one I posted :-(
((Probably I should update the suite to 3.3.3 before continuing to figure out what's wrong. I just thought before installing everything to run with the stable one provided by Debian, seems that it wasn't the best idea :-) ))

I'm sorry, that was my confusion. I see now that the file you posted is what we are looking for. What's in the wsgi.py file referenced in that config? That may help.

I have no clue about where the “/mailman” is even coming from.
It is possible that uwsgi isn’t aware that it is serving the website at a subpath (“/mailman3”) instead of “/“, so the redirects don’t correctly take in to account the subpath. I see that the subpath is taken into account when there is a forward slash in the end and weird things happening when it isn’t.
Could be Apache not setting the “SCRIPT_NAME” var correctly always, but from the docs2 it seems to me that your configuration is correct. Maybe you can try setting the SCRIPT_NAME explicitly using uWSGIForceScriptName to “mailman3" and see if that helps?

I solved this by using the <DirectorySlash> directive. See these for more info:
