I have several mailing lists hosted on a server. I basically moved these lists from one server to the other by tarring up mailman/ from /usr/local, and untarring up to /usr/local on the destination server once I had configured the MTA properly. For each list, I did:
./withlist -l -r fix_url LISTNAME -v -u DEFAULT_URL_HOST
However, I seem to still have a problem, and I think this has got something to do with changing the configuration to have the archives being public, when initially they were private.
Without mangling any names, I have the following:
http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/pipermail/kictanet/2005-April/000017.html
<http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/pipermail/kictanet/2005-April/000017.html>When you go down that page, you find the url for the attachment. It has the wrong DEFAULT_URL_HOST. It should be lists.kictanet.or.ke instead of kictanet.or.ke. The listname in question is "kictanet". The file that contains this attachment is available in the server as /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/kictanet.mbox/*kictanet.mbox* However, when I go to /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/kictanet/attachments/ no attachments are available for some dates since the list was created. I did not delete any files so I believe there is a way to generate these from kictanet.mbox, somehow, yes?
What exactly should I do to fix the broken link and the missing attachment directories?
