HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS is not in the > suggested settings.py but it is in mailman_web.settings.mailman and is > imported by the suggested settings.py. I have reread what you wrote now and I'm beginning to get the hang of this method. My observation is that it can only be _obvious_ to someone very familiar with Python config to decipher that *additional* settings *that can be augmented or overridden in /etc/mailman3/settings.py* can be obtained from: /PATH-TO/mailman_web/settings/{base|mailman}.py after they have noticed these two lines in the sample settings given in /etc/mailman3/settings.py: from mailman_web.settings.base import *from mailman_web.settings.mailman import * [At first instance, it is not obvious that mailman_web.settings.base and mailman_web.settings.mailman are actually paths in Python - which magically translates to mailman_web/settings/base.py and mailman_web/settings/mailman.py] Granted, I am a slow learner, and perhaps already so mixed up after reading the myriad HOWTOs for installing MM3 that are available online. I am tempted to say there are many like me who are likely to miss "where to obtain" other settings from. For example, my mind all along has been tuned to having a settings_local.py for overriding the settings.py. However, with this particular documentation, it would appear that everything is intended to just go into /etc/mailman3/settings.py. Is it possible to modify the documentation to somehow make it obvious (in a language that a layman can easily understand, that those two "import *" _DO establish a base set of settings that can be augmented or overridden in /etc/mailman3/settings.py_ and that those settings are in what file(s) ? I am not saying @Johannes Rohr <johannes(a)rohr.org> is a layman like me, but I think that is what hit him. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", egrep -v '^$|^.*#' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :-)

I could run some of those in my VM. I have switched from uWSGI to mod_wsgi and I don't have any errors - so far. Web UI running without issues in both cases.
