In the process of cleaning some stuff, one lock file was deleted.
So here's one of the cron errors I get.
Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/local/mailman/cron/run_queue", line 46, in ? main() File "/usr/local/mailman/cron/run_queue", line 39, in main lockfile.lock() File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 186, in lock os.link(self.__lockfile, self.__tmpfname) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Does anyone know how to recreate this lockfile?
The file is created each time there's a lock needed. If the lists are quiescent, delete everything in ~mailman/locks and see if this persists; if so, triplecheck the perms on ~mailman/locks.
Well, there are no mailman processes running... And I would THINK that the lockfiles were generated automatically, but apparently not.
The locks dir is drwxrwsr-x mailman:mailman as it should be, yes?
But I'm still getting this message every five minutes:

So this says to me that you have a list whose data file has been moved, deleted, or corrupted. What does, say, list_lists show? What about bin/check_dbs on all the lists?
I don't have a list_lists command (this is 1.1. Neither of my installations has a list_lists), but the active lists show up on the pages that browse lists (http://host/mailman/listinfo, etc.).
check_db on each list comes out fine.
I've removed one list, I think, in my entire time running mailman and that was weeks before i made the permissions errors that brought me where I am.
I just ran ~/bin/update (even though I didn't upgrade) and it said "you're either one brave soul, or you already ran me" on every list... save one. Hmm... I wonder...
Maybe it's fixed. I'll watch cron output. J.
