Hello, I wanted to free some server disc space, therefore I wanted to delete my mailman archives. Due to a mistake, I accidently deleted the whole /private and /public directorys. Now, when I want to access my lists through the online admin backend, I get an error. Is there any way to rebuild (or reinstall) the archive directory structure? The only documents I found only were about the rebuilding the archive content, but not the directory and file structure itself. Any help would be appriciated. Cheers,Valentin

You need to create the public/ directory with mode drwxrwsr-x (2775) and the private/ directory with mode drwxrws--x (2771) and group equal Mailman's group.
The public/ directory can be empty. The private/ directory should contain two sub-directories per list with names xxx and xxx.mbox where xxx is the list name and with mode mode drwxrwsr-x (2775), and the private/xxx/ directories should contain an index.html file with content similar to
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <HTML>
<HEAD> <title>The xxx Archives</title> <META NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex,follow"> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <h1>The xxx Archives </h1> <p> No messages have been posted to this list yet, so the archives are currently empty. You can get <a href="https://example.com/mailman/listinfo/xxx">more information about this list</a>. </p> </BODY> </HTML>
