I am trying to migrate mailing lists from Mailman 2.1.11 running on Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS to Mailman 2.1.12 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 (Santiago). I'm not sure how mailman was installed/built on the Ubuntu box but on the Redhat box, it was installed using yum.
I have followed the guides on list migration and rsync'ed the lists, data, and archives directory from the Ubuntu box to the Redhat box, updated the permissions, and regenerated the aliases. However, when I go to update the urls for mailing lists via fix_url, none of the allegedly migrated lists can be found.
Has anyone encountered and dealt with this issue successfully?

Most likely because you have rsync'd the lists/ directory to the same path on the RedHat box as on the Ubuntu box and that's not where the RedHat Mailman is looking for it.
