[Mailman-Users] Permission Denied Error after List Migration

[Sascha Rissel]

Hello,

I just tried migrating a list from an old to a new server.
Basically I copied /var/lib/mailman/lists/<listname> and copied the private
archive as well.
Afterwards I
- regenerated the archives using "/var/lib/mailman/bin/arch [listname]" and
- fixed the urls with ""withlist -l -r fix_url [listname]""

When trying to login into the admin panel, I get "Bug in Mailman version
2.1.15" and in the logs there are the log entries found below:
(N.B: All file permissions are set according to my previous server's, but I
also tried: "chown -R list.list /var/lib/mailman/lists/""

Can you help me?

Regards,
Sascha.
