[Bug 543620] [NEW] command mailman info fails when Database url does not exist

Can you post your mailman.cfg file? 'bin/mailman info' will try to create the mailman.db file if it doesn't exist, but of course that could fail if say the process doesn't have permission to create the paths, e.g. -----mailman.cfg----- [mailman] layout: foo [paths.foo] var_dir: /foo/mailman ---------- % bin/mailman info Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/mailman", line 31, in <module> mailman.bin.mailman.main() File "/home/barry/projects/mailman/3.0/src/mailman/bin/mailman.py", line 98, in main initialize(config_file) File "/home/barry/projects/mailman/3.0/src/mailman/core/initialize.py", line 174, in initialize initialize_1(config_path) File "/home/barry/projects/mailman/3.0/src/mailman/core/initialize.py", line 117, in initialize_1 mailman.config.config.load(config_path) File "/home/barry/projects/mailman/3.0/src/mailman/config/config.py", line 106, in load self._post_process() File "/home/barry/projects/mailman/3.0/src/mailman/config/config.py", line 126, in _post_process Switchboard.initialize() File "/home/barry/projects/mailman/3.0/src/mailman/queue/__init__.py", line 94, in initialize config.switchboards[name] = Switchboard(name, path) File "/home/barry/projects/mailman/3.0/src/mailman/queue/__init__.py", line 119, in __init__ makedirs(self.queue_directory, 0770) File "/home/barry/projects/mailman/3.0/src/mailman/utilities/filesystem.py", line 66, in makedirs os.makedirs(path, mode) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/os.py", line 150, in makedirs makedirs(head, mode) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/os.py", line 150, in makedirs makedirs(head, mode) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/os.py", line 150, in makedirs makedirs(head, mode) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/os.py", line 157, in makedirs mkdir(name, mode) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/foo' -- command mailman info fails when Database url does not exist https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543620 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

I just noticed a problem with the mailman.cfg file you posted. You've set the layout to be 'dev' but you're overriding var_dir in the [paths.master] section. That doesn't match, so it's not picking that up. You can verify by running bin/mailman info -p See if s/paths.master/paths.dev/ fixes your problem. -- command mailman info fails when Database url does not exist https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543620 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

I noticed that too when I posted the config to you. The problem probably is - which is good in this case - that I am not an experienced python user nor developer and the relation between the two didn't strike me. I think I've even looked for a correlation in the original mailman/../mailman.cfg and didn't find one. Anyway. I will change it and see what happens. p@rick

BTW I am going to change 'bin/mailman info --paths/-p' to '--verbose/-v' in the trunk ;) -- command mailman info fails when Database url does not exist https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543620 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.
Cool, let me know. I do think we could use better documentation for the configuration options. ;/ -- command mailman info fails when Database url does not exist https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543620 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.
