Hello - I have an issue with my Mailman App.  I'm using an OpenBSD server.
3.5 and I have version 2.1.4.  When I attempt to go to the web page for the
lists for Email groups I get the following mesg:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/mailman/scripts/driver", line 87, in run_main
    main()
  File
"/usr/local/src/ports/mail/mailman/w-mailman-2.1.4/fake-i386/usr/local/lib/m

  File

  File

MMCorruptListDatabaseError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/var/spool/mailman/lists/aq-ngp-ml/config.db.last'

I realize that since I don't have a config.db.last file I looked that the
Config.pck and the config.pck.last files and they are both empty.  I do not
have a backup for this email group so I need to understand how to recreate
the config. files.  Do I rebuild this from scratch OR is there another way
besides rebuilding it?  Also can I cp files from other lists and use that as
my seed to rebuild?  I've also performed a 'dumpdb' and found nothing that I
could use.  Can anyone provide me the steps to take to rebuild this list?

I'm new to mailman so any instructions please be very specific with the
directions.

Thanks in advance for your comments and support.
