Обсуждение: 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.

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, Justin Clift > > regards, tom lane > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? > > http://archives.postgresql.org -- "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.

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!

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 ...

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 ...
