Mailman List Migration to Another Server
Hi Guys
We are in the process of moving a bunch of mail lists from one server to another. As far as I could read, one needs to copy the following directories :-
/usr/local/mailman/lists
/usr/local/mailman/archives
I have copied those directories over to my new server and all appears to be working, except that I cannot see any of the lists through the web interface.
I have also modified the config.pck file though a utility called config_list available in the /usr/local/mailman/bin directory to reflect the new server URL addresses, but that doesn't seem to have done the trick for me.
Has anyone else experienced the same, and any possible solutions or ideas?
Thanx
RC

I don't know what you did with config_list (i.e., what attributes you changed and what you changed them to - the critical one here is web_page_url), but fix_url should do everything you need. In the simplist case, it's just
/usr/local/mailman/bin/withlist -a -l -r fix_url
