[Mailman-Users] Archives not working (yes, I broke it...)

[Dragon]

I was doing some edits of the archive template files on my installation of 
Mailman 2.1.5

Long story short, I ran into some write permission problems when trying to 
upload my edited versions and in a fit of bone-headedness, I screwed up a 
bunch of permissions by over zealously using the -R option of chmod...

This broke everything. I couldn't access the admin pages, the archives or 
post to my lists. I panicked.

Then I tried to do a rebuild/reinstall from source. No luck there, and then 
I remembered the check_perms script and used that to fix the damage I did. 
After a restart of the mailman daemon using mailmanctl, I could now post to 
the list and get to the admin pages.

So far so good. It's not a complete disaster anymore, just a minor one.

But now the archive simply will not work. Nothing gets added to the archive 
mbox file when I post to the list nor can I access the archive web pages 
(and yes, I double-checked the list archive settings and made sure the 
archive files are all still there). I am using the built-in archiver, it 
seems to not be able to find the archive files because all I get when I try 
to view the archive is a page that says "Private archive file not found".

I've looked at everything I can think of at this point and can't find a 
solution. What am I missing? Is there an obscure setting somewhere or a 
database file or something out there that needs to be told what lists are 
on the server?

Help will be much appreciated.
