I just figured this out and it all worked good.
Basically you have to move the data in your /var/lib/mailman/lists/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/ /var/lib/mailman/data/ This is for Debain, change for proper path on your distro Check paths with Locate mailman This will show you the paths for installed mailman files. Once you have it moved to the new location you must run Check_perms -f This will fix all permission issues, really handy. Run Check_perms with no -f to make sure everything is kosher. Now if you changed paths on any of the lists you moved you will need to resync the lists Move_lists "name of list" That will resync the list. I didn't have to do anything else other than this, oh yeah, and I moved data from Mailman 1.1 to Mailman 2.08 in the process and it worked great. Hope this helps. -Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of ljacobs Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 9:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Mailman-Users] moving Mailman lists to a new server Apparently Barry Warsaw wrote a FAQ for this purpose to the Mailman-Developers list. Does anyone know the date of his posting? Or is there another source for the best practices to move a list & the related files to a new server?
