[Mailman-Users] python burning 100% cpu

[John Lange]

I'm new to Mailman and I'm having a major problem getting it to start.

I had it setup and working and then I needed to reboot the server for a
kernel upgrade.

Now when I start mailman it causes python to burn 100% CPU until mailman
is stopped.

logs show nothing out of the ordinary.

logs/qrunner

Sep 11 12:20:40 2003 (4454) NewsRunner qrunner started.

Nothing in syslog either.

I ran check_perms and everything checks out fine.

check_db -va though shows some errors:

List: announce
   /usr/local/mailman/lists/announce/config.pck: okay
   /usr/local/mailman/lists/announce/config.pck.last: okay
    [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/usr/local/mailman/lists/announce/config.db'
    [Errno 2] No such file or directory:

'/usr/local/mailman/lists/mailman/config.db'
    [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/usr/local/mailman/lists/mailman/config.db.last'

Could this be the problem? Are those files critical? If so, what
happened to those files? How can they be re-created?

I've hit a brick wall here. With nothing being logged I don't know where
to go from here.

Thanks for any help.
