Hello all,
A list that is hosted here reported that the membership list and other settings had reverted to previous content.
I took a look at the files and see this:
-rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 14526 Oct 30 08:00 config.pck -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 48950 Sep 29 13:15 config.pck.corrupt -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 14526 Oct 30 08:00 config.pck.last -rw-rw---- 1 apache mailman 49499 Sep 29 16:38 config.pck.safety
It looks like the config.pck file was corrupt. Just for clarification, what are the other config.pck* files ? Since teh config.pck.safety looks like it is much larger in size, and I ran ./dumpdb to read it and it appears to be more current data, I am thinking that I can use it to overwrite the config.pck, which apparently was used because the file was corrupt.
Can someone explain how these files work when the file becomes corrupt?
Can I just copy the config.pck.safety to config.pck ?
Many thanks
