Some systems put the configs and so on in a different place from the "standard" mailman install. I infer that you have the right place, but please confirm. On my Debian system, list configs look like /var/lib/mailman/lists/LISTNAME/config.pck and I've never seen a system that didn't conform to the .../mailman/lists/LISTNAME/config.pck pattern. > The yum-supplied new mailman version is not the same as the version > on the old server, How old was the old Mailman? AFAIK old configs should automatically be upgraded if necessary when you upgrade Mailman, unless they're very very old (< 2.1.9 at a guess). > But the old archive lists, in the same directory with the same > permissions, are not showing up. Please clarify what you mean by "old archive lists not showing up." What's not showing up? The list archives? The public lists in the mailman/listinfo page in the admin website? It doesn't deliver posts to those lists? More than one of the above (please specify)? Something else? > Is there some pck database file I need to upgrade or massage to > have the old lists be recognized? No, Mailman 2.1 recognizes lists by the presence of a config.pck file in the lists/<list-name> directory. If you have the right place and the version of Mailman that created the configs was not locally modified and not decades old, it should recognize those configs.
