I have been trying to get to the private archives of a list but when I click on the URL http://list.odu.edu/private/telephone_logs/ I get nothing on the page. I have been able to access other archives of private lists but for some reason I am not seeing any for this list. I have thought about trying this
bin/arch --wipe list-name
but I don't want to remove the archives. Is there anything I check for or another script to run to find out if a file is corrupt? Just to be sure, I checked that this list does have a mbox in the archives/private/telephone_logs directory.

To add something to my post, it looks like the index.html file for this list is empty. Do I need to run a search tool to create the index.html file, and if so, what would that be?

Are you sure archiving is enabled for this list?
Is there a global mailbox file at archives/private/telephone_logs.mbox/telephone_logs.mbox or just the archives/private/telephone_logs.mbox/ directory without the file?
If the archives/private/telephone_logs.mbox/telephone_logs.mbox file exists and contains the past posts to the list, then
bin/arch --wipe list-name
should build archives. If the .mbox file is there and the HTML archives are not being created, there is probably a permissions issue.

Hello,
Sorry about the delay in my answer but wasn't able to get tothis till now.

Yes, it is.

There is an archives/private/telephone_logs.mbox file but no archives/private/telephone_logs.mbox directory.
If the archives/private/telephone_logs.mbox/telephone_logs.mbox file exists and contains the past posts to the list, then
bin/arch --wipe list-name
should build archives. If the .mbox file is there and the HTML archives are not being created, there is probably a permissions issue.
Do I need to do something to rebuild telephone_logs.mbox? Is it looks for a telephone_logs.mbox/telephone_logs.mbox file? The index.html file is empty. Shouldn't contain something?
Regards,
Darren Old Dominion University

I don't understand. How can the file exist if the directory that contains it doesn't exist? Or are you saying that archives/private/telephone_logs.mbox is a file, not a directory? If so, what's in it? What do you see from
ls -la archives/private/telephone_logs.mbox
If the archives/private/telephone_logs.mbox/telephone_logs.mbox file exists and contains the past posts to the list, then
bin/arch --wipe list-name
should build archives. If the .mbox file is there and the HTML archives are not being created, there is probably a permissions issue.

bin/arch --wipe telephone_logs
will look for archives/private/telephone_logs.mbox/telephone_logs.mbox by default and will fail if it's not found. There is an option to specify a different file. See bin/arch --help.
If you don't have the global .mbox file containing all the past posts, then you probably don't have anything to rebuild it from (unless you have the posts collected somewhere outside of Mailman), and you have no past archives.
There may be a permissions issue or something similar preventing archiving. Do you see anything relevant in Mailman's 'error' log?
