Mailman 2.1.4 CGI issues
by Chip Cuccio Jan. 28, 2004

Jan. 28, 2004

Hello. Yesterday, we upgraded from Mailman 2.0.13 to 2.1.4 on our Red Hat Linux 7.3 server. All went well, and everything worked fine. This AM, someone notified me that they could not access any of the listinfo pages for our various lists. I checked, and the listinfo page indeed just hangs until the browser returns a timeout. The archive pages work fine, as does the listinfo page without specifying a list. Anyone seen this before? Why would it work fine yesterday, and not today? I have pasted the traceback below Thank you.

Re: [Mailman-Users] who command
by Mike Phillips Jan. 28, 2004

Jan. 28, 2004

New problem. When I send "who <password>" (the correct one this time) to the server, it responds with the AutoResponse, but it is not sending me the list, nor is it croaking on me. It's doing nothing. I'm sure I have the syntax correct as I have had it work once or twice. The email to list-request(a)mydomain.com is in plain text. Anything I can check to see what is wrong? Maybe I screwed up something in the configuration. (I don't have root access to the shared server.) Mike Phillips > I am the adminstrator and subscriber to a list.

How to purge correctly old messages ?
by BERTHOLD Jean Jan. 28, 2004

Jan. 28, 2004

Hello, Please, I have this big archive: root@vanuatu # pwd /usr/local/mailman/archives/private root@vanuatu # root@vanuatu # du -sh etrans* 2.4G etrans-echanges 645M etrans-echanges.mbox root@vanuatu # root@vanuatu # pwd /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/etrans-echanges root@vanuatu # du -sh database 903M database root@vanuatu # How to remove the oldest messages correctly ? For example, is it sufficient to only delete files under: root@vanuatu # pwd /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/etrans-echanges root@vanuatu # du -sh 20030625* 5.9M 20030625 4.1M 20030625.txt 120K 20030625.txt.gz root@vanuatu # Or do I need delete related files under: root@vanuatu # pwd /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/etrans-echanges/database root@vanuatu # du -sh 20030625* 5.9M 20030625-article 12K 20030625-author 10K 20030625-date 15K 20030625-subject 10K 20030625-thread root@vanuatu # And after the previous delete , is this file will be updated automatiquely: root@vanuatu # pwd /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/etrans-echanges.mbox root@vanuatu # ls etrans-echanges.mbox root@vanuatu # du -sh * 645M etrans-echanges.mbox root@vanuatu # Is there somewhere a script for automatic purge ?

who command
by Mike Phillips Jan. 28, 2004

Jan. 28, 2004

I am the adminstrator and subscriber to a list. I sent a command to list-request(a)mydomain.com with the body of the message "who <password>". The server responded, "You are not allowed to retrieve the list membership." "Who can view subscription list?" is set to list members. Is there another setting to allow me to get the list membership by email? What I am trying to do is move the membership of one MailMan list to another one. The real question is, how can I get a simple listing of the membership (one email address per line) so that I can do a mass subscription on a second list? Thanks.

Anyone move their mailman to different server?
by Mark London Jan. 28, 2004

Jan. 28, 2004

I've seen a bunch of people asking about how to do a move to a different server (with a different IP name), but no one ever answers them! Has anyone actually done it? I'm keeping the same path names for everything, but the lists don't show up on the web interface (I can create a list and that works fine). Thanks! Mark

Re: Two problems with 2.1.3 - one solved
by Mark Leisher Jan. 27, 2004

Jan. 27, 2004

I solved the second problem of mailman being unable to write into the queue directories and a time stamp in the future when I noticed that all the ownership and permissions in /var/adm/sm.bin/ (smrsh exec dir) were messed up. They got messed up in a bizarre OS problem that caused all partitions to be reported as full. Permissions got messed up during the reboot. Thanks to everyone who took a stab at this. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Leisher Computing Research Lab The fury with which untenable beliefs New Mexico State University are defended is inversely proportional Box 30001, Dept. 3CRL to their defensibility.
