[Mailman-Users] Mailman + MhonArc problems

[Doug Roberts]

Hi all -

Using version 2.1.1 of Mailman, I'm having the following symptoms:

- MHonArc is installed and works fine when called like this (as mailman user and as root):
mhonarc -mbox /var/mailman/archives/private/mailman.mbox/mailman.mbox -outdir /var/mhonarc/archives/mailman

I'm following the only directions I could find, which are for RedHat 6.2, Mailman 2.0.5 and MhonArc 2.4.5 (I have RH 8.0, Mm 2.1.1 and MH 2.6.3). They had me add the following to /var/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py

PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL  = '/mhonarchive'
PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL  = '/mhonarchive'
PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = '/usr/bin/mhonarc -add -outdir /var/mhonarc/archives/%(listname)s >> /tmp/out_external_archiver'
PRIVATE_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = '/usr/bin/mhonarc -add -outdir /var/mhonarc/archives/%(listname)s >> /tmp/out_external_archiver'

When a message is sent to the same list (mailman), I get the following errors in /var/log/mailman/errors

Apr 23 15:15:37 2003 (28514) Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

  File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 172, in ExternalArchive
    extarch.write(txt)
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

I've poked around the code, but I'm at about neck-level already, so the odds of me debugging this on my own are pretty slim. Any ideas? Google search and searching the archives haven't turned up anything.
