Website, mailing list
I've tried unsuccessfully to subscribe to some list. Majordom doesn't understand me.
I asked for help. Majordomo doesn't understand that either.
Thought I'd recheck the website to see what I really ought to do. I get this:
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php
The following error was encountered:
* Connection Failed
The system returned:
(111) Connection refused
The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.
In the absence of a working website, can someone pls tell me the magic incantation?
btw If the webmaster's listening, it might be better to combine the sites so folk get their mirror.
My mirror IS working, and if it wasn't, there'd be others to try.

What did you do exactly? The following message brought back a help
response for me:

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php
Where did you get that URL from? AFAIK we have never had such a site
name as "developer.postgresql.org".

Hi Tom,
This is the new "Developer's Corner site" which Vince created. Looks
pretty nice, new color scheme, better layout, etc. People get to it
when clicking on "Developer's Corner" from the main PostgreSQL site.
:)
Regards and best wishes,

Hmm. Maybe this is one reason why I'm lost and disoriented trying to
build docs on the new servers. Vince, where do the various www areas
live nowadays? Can someone please publish a site map for *physical
locations* on the machines? If they've done so already, I've misplaced
it and would appreciate an off-list refresher.
Thanks!

And when I retried later it worked. That's where I'm reading the CVS instructions (that don't work) now.

I.E.
NOTE: We recently upgraded to Majordomo2. This is the new procedure for getting on and off the lists.
To subscribe to or unsubscribe from any of the lists below, send a message to XXXXXXX-request@postgresql.org (with XXXXXXX being the name of the list as shown below) and in the body of the message put:
subscribe
or
unsubscribe
If you hate getting many mail messages per day then when you subscribe as shown above, add the following on the next line:

It would seem that that page is out of date. Vince, can you fix it?
I have no idea where the website source files live...

Actually the instructions are correct. Something happened in the
last couple of weeks that broke things. I'm guessing Marc's recent
upgrade. Marc?? Care to look into this?
Vince.

Are they? The last time I subscribed to a new list, the right
incantation was to mail
subscribe list-name my-address
to majordomo@postgresql.org. This doesn't square with what the webpage
says to do ...

Majordomo2 and a number of other maillist packages accept subscription
requests to LISTNAME-request@domain.com. I know the instructions worked
when I subscribed to general, odbc and at least one other list.
Vince.

In the mean time, can someone tell me what works now, or alternatively enrol me in hackers and bugs and jdbc and announcements?

In the process of fixing ... should be good to go by end of day on Sunday

It used to work, recent upgrade broke it, it was/is a known bug that has
been fixed since and I'm in the process of upgrading ...

It defaults to your current email address and the mailing list address
you used for subscription.
