Ok, I am having some strange problems with my mailman server. This started when I move from FreeBSD to Linux. I am currently running Mailman 1.1 on Redhat 6.1.
Ok, the first thing is that when I run check_bd I get a error that the db files are messed up. I looked at them and notice they are owned by mail.mailman. It is odd, I change it to mailman.mailman and it works fine, but it gets changed back to mail.mailman when someone sends mail to the list.
The next problem is that mail is not sent to the lists, if I look in error log file I get:
Feb 28 23:27:04 2000 post: Traceback (innermost last): post: File "/home/mailman/scripts/post", line 73, in ? post: mlist.Post(msg, approved=fromusenet) post: File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 1329, in Post post: self.ArchiveMail(msg) post: File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 206, in ArchiveM ail post: lock.lock() post: File "/home/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 245, in lock post: os.unlink(self.__tmpfname) post: OSError : [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/mailman/locks/clecl ist.archiver.lock.skipper.robotics.net.5454'
The last problem is that I cant run arch. When I run it it just sits there forever and does not do anyting. If I hit control-C I get a lock file error.
So, how do I fix my lockfile and permissions errors?
BTW when I run check_perms everything checks out.
