upgrade from 2.1beta3 to 2.1 final
Hi,
I am running Maiman 2.1 beta 3 and I would like to upgrade to the final release.
Could someone point me to the proper documentation or just quickly tell me what I need to do?
Any information is more than welcome.
Thanks, Marius

That's an easy upgrade. Just stop mailmanctl, then configure and make install right over 2.1b3. Then start mailmanctl again and you should be good to go.

Well, that was reassuring, so I ran "ps aux | grep mail" to dig out the syntax for mailmanctl, and stopped it with
/usr/bin/python2 /home/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s -q stop
I went to /usr/scr/mailman.2.1.2 and ran the exact same commands I used last October to install 2.1b3. (Yes, I keep these things around, I hate haveing to figure them out every few months.)
./configure --with-mail-gid=99 --with-cgi-gid=99 --prefix=/home/mailman --with-python=/usr/bin/python2 make install
When I restarted mailmanctl I get
[mailman@virtuoso templates]$ /usr/bin/python2 /home/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s -q start Site list is missing: mailman
The web interface appears to be running fine, but ps reports no mailman processes, and messages are not being processed.
I realized that I was running as root when I did the install, so I did "chown -R mailman:mailman *" from /home/mailman, and got the same result. I then reconfigured and reinstalled. I had a couple of permission problems in foreign language template directories, didn't see any other errors, but I still come up with the same error on startup.
Mailman is totally down, so if anybody has a hint I'm standing by!

A google search would have lead you to this post:
You need to have a mailing list named "mailman". The INSTALL file says: - Create a "site-wide" mailing list. This is the one that password reminders will appear to come from. Usually this should be the "mailman" mailing list, but if you need to change this, be sure to change the MAILMAN_SITE_LIST variable in mm_cfg.py (see below). % bin/newlist mailman Follow the prompts, and see the README file for more information. - You should then subscribe yourself to the mailman list.

Silly me, I searched the FAQs at www.list.org instead. But hey, you nailed it and the lists appear to be up and running again. Thanks.
