[Mailman-Users] 2 machines with 2 mailmans & 1nfs /archives & /lists

[javier]

Hi people!

The two machines has the same DNSname, but diferent IP number.
two mailmans are working good... you can create list from  two
machines... i put special attention in user and groups, and i had to
change the mailman uid&gid to be the same number in 3 machines
(mailman1,mailman2,NFS store).


Ok, i installed two mailman first, i linked (ln -s) /archives & /lists 
to two NFS directories and checkperms -f to solve permision problems.

This is a mailman machine (Sunfire v120, solaris 8):
bash-2.03$ cd /usr/local/mailman/
bash-2.03$ ls -la
total 54
drwxrwsr-x  18 mailman  mailman      512 Oct 29 11:06 .

Now is fully working good, if you create a new list two machines can 
view them, and all is working ok since 3 months.


Before this, sometimes lists got locked, but Richard gave me the fix:

Richard's solution------------------------------------------------------

 From a quick look at the code, I think this may happen if a message has 
an invalid Content-type: header of the form:

Content-type: text/foo; charset=

That is, it has a charset parameter but no actual value has been 
assigned to it. But I could be wrong.

As a quick fix you could try changing line 280 of 
$prefix/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py from:

         if charset is None or charset == 'us-ascii':

to:

         if charset is None or charset == '' or charset == 'us-ascii':

If you try this hack let me know whether it works or not. I am not sure 
if this is the best long term fix but if it appears to work I will look 
at the problem a bit further.

Do not forget to backup the Scrubber.py before changing it in case you 
have to revert to the original.

Regards

Richard

i hope you enjoy this installation, it works, and if a mailman machine 
crash you have other machine to continue working with mailmans

Regards and Thank you for your help!
