[Mailman-Users] Odd error during message approval

2024-10-01 Thread Johnson, Bruce E - (bjohnson)
One of our list moderators got the following website error after trying to 
approve a posting to a moderated list:


"Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

Size of a request header field exceeds server limit."


Someone else was able to approve the same message after she logged in to the 
pending requests page.


I could not find any reference to this web server rotor in 
/various/log/httpd/error_log or ssl_error_log


Where does Mailman log it’s http errors and what could cause this error?


(I checked the /var/log/mailman logs and did not find anything either.)


(Running V 2.1.30 on Rocky Linux, 8.10, installed via the distro packages )

That should be ‘web server rotor in /var/log/httpd/error_log', damn you 
autoincorrect!

Where does Mailman log it’s http errors and what could cause this error?



I seriously doubt that this request got to Mailman or even to Django. It 
looks like the error came from the web server. Can you find the request 
in other web server logs - maybe some access_log.


Mailman may have an access_log and error_log in it's var/logs/ directory 
(or wherever it keeps its logs.
