[Mailman-Users] upgrading lists

[Bill Hilburn]

Not sure about 1.1 -> 2.1 upgrade...

When I upgraded from our old server (Mailman ver?) to new server (ver 2.1b5)
after the lists were in place (after install and test of new list) I ran
~/mailman/bin/update and it converted all of the config.db to config.pck.
(new db format...)

Make sure you override defaults from Defaults.py in your mm_cfg.py *first*
specifically DEFAULT_URL_HOST & DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST, my mm_cfg.py look like this:

# - start of mm_cfg.py -
IMAGE_LOGOS = '/icons/'

SMTPHOST = 'mail.frontier.net'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.frontier.net'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mail.frontier.net'

add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

# - end of mm_cfg.py -


Note the add_virtualhost is necessary for Mailman to pick up these assignments.


Hope this helps!
