(Me rattles my head and goes, "What?") Daniel Bareiro submitted the problem that he could not disable the default web server on port 80. That has been the topic of this thread. Later you posted that you had the same issue. I see now that you did say you wanted to have the mailman site enabled. I didn't see that before since we were focused on Daniel's problem of trying to disable the port 80 web site. Obviously that is impossible. One cannot both disable the port 80 web site and keep it enabled for Mailman. It is one or the other. It cannot be both. And this is a completely different topic than the we one were discussing. That is why there was confusion. In the future if you want to avoid confusion about such things then start a new discussion thread with new topic. Something like, "How do I make Mailman the default and only web site?" or some such. That would get much better results. On the topic of making the Mailman web interface the default and/or only web site seen: If you want to keep the Mailman web site as the default then do not disable port 80. You will be needing it. Instead make the Mailman web site the default web site. If you are using Apache there are two main ways to do this. One is to ensure that the default site is the first or only VirtualHost listed. Either way then it will be the default site. That is rationale behind the 000-default naming in that the zeros will cause that to be loaded first and therefore will be the default by default. My preference is to remove the 000-default link and keep the original "000-default.conf" and "default-ssl.conf" files pristine. (Previously those were "default" and "default-ssl" in Wheezy 7. They have been renamed in Jessie 8.) By keeping those files pristine they will not be prompted for merging upon upgrades. This makes upgrades easier. Then create a new site local file for the local web site configurations. Being a different file it will not be in the package and will not need to be merged when applying security upgrades. The other way from having the 000 naming to force the first configuration to be the default is to use the "_default_" tag on one site to explicitly say which is the default. Then the ordering does not matter. This will explicitly tell Apache that it should be the default for all unspecified sites.
