new server not archiving messages
Hi,
Ive just installed Mailman 2.1.12 to a new FreeBSD 8.1 server. I
have copied across the contents of the lists directory from an
existing server that I want to copy. When tested the server works, in
so much as recieving mails and forward to list members but no data is
stored in the archive directory. Ive checked the Defaults.py (I am
using the default settings, which are identical to my old working
server) and auto archive is on and everything looks setup to work.
Ive had a search for similar issues and didnt really find anything
helpful. One person said they´d had to log in via the GUI to every
list and make some change and then save the config and then it started
working.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could cause this, or how
to trouble shoot the issue further?
thanks in advance! Andy.

Run Mailman's bin/check_perms
Look in Mailman's error log

Ok thanks. Id had a look in the logs before but not close enough. It
was odd it had created some directories under archives but not the
mbox ones. When I manually created these it has started logging the
messages as expected...

When Mailman creates a list, it creates the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/ directory, and archiving expects it to exist.
So if you move lists from another server by moving the lists/LISTNAME/ directory, but don't move the archives/private/LISTNAME*/ directories, you have to manually create the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/ directory.
