[Mailman-Users] Mailman Migration to new server

[Peter Merritt]

Mark thank you for your help, unfortunately as I investigate further there is only one config.pck left an its corrupt. all the other lists have not config.pck. Is there anyway to recover a list of  members email addresses? 

                                      Peter

Mailman 2.1.5's Mailman/MailList.py had code to test and set if
necessary a list's data_version attribute every time the list was
instantiated.

I think you must be looking in the wrong directory. If there is no
lists/LISTNAME/config.pck (ignoring for the moment the possibility of a
Mailman 2.0.x config.db), the list doesn't exist for Mailman 2.1.x

Do you have any mods in your 2.1.5?

If you think your config.pck's are otherwise OK, you could always do

#!/bin/sh
file=`mktemp`
echo mlist.data_version = 0 > $file
for list in `/path/to/mailman/bin/list_lists --bare`; do
  /path/to/mailman/bin/config_list -i $file $list
done
rm $file


It doesn't matter what you set data_version to as long as it's less than 98.
