All qrunner processes are running under UID mailman.
On the face of it this looks OK. What I am puzzled by is that the symlinks are owned root:mailman. I would have expected them to be owned by mailman:mailman. Ths links are normally automatically created as mail posted to the list is being dealt with by Mailman and I would expect the process concerned to be running under the mailman uid.
What version of MM are you running? If MM 2.0.x is the qrunner cron job running under the mailman user? If MM 2.1 or 2.1.1 how are you starting mailmanctl?
Htdig came preinstalled with my Slackware install. It was initially installed in /opt/var .. but I am old skool and prefer my www in /var/www. I moved reqd htdig to /var/www/htdig.
/var/www/htdig/conf does contain config files, but where do I check to see if CONFIG_DIR is set to that location
How did you install htdig and can you confirm that the installation's default CONFIG_DIR is /var/www/htdig/conf?
Yes ...
USE_HTDIG = 1 # 0 - don't use integrated htdig, 1 - use it HTDIG_ARCHIVE_URL = '/mailman/htdig/' # must end in a slash HTDIG_SEARCH_URL = '/cgi-bin/htsearch' HTDIG_FILES_URL = '/htdig/' HTDIG_CONF_LINK_DIR = os.path.join(VAR_PREFIX, 'archives', 'htdig') HTDIG_MAILMAN_LINK = 'htdig-mailman' HTDIG_RUNDIG_PATH = '/usr/local/bin/rundig'
I'm assuming that either your /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py or mm_cfg.py contains the following line:
HTDIG_MAILMAN_LINK = htdig-mailman
Yes - my /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/<listname>/htdig/ contains this...
drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Feb 25 23:14 .

Although I notice - here also root is the owner of some of the files
Your previous post indicated that nightly_htdig was running OK. I take it that the /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/<listname>/htdig/ directories contain the <listname>.conf files that are the subject of the symlinks. Also that, following nightly_htdig they contain files like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mailman/run/archives/private/rbtest/htdig> ls -l total 20 -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 2048 Feb 25 17:45 db.docdb -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 2048 Feb 25 17:45 db.docs.index -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 128 Feb 25 17:45 db.wordlist -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 2048 Feb 25 17:45 db.words.db -rw-rw-rw- 1 mailman mailman 3879 Feb 25 17:38 rbtest.conf -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 0 Feb 25 17:45 rundig_last_run
Tried your recommendation, I can verify that all the files are cleared with blowaway, and the serachform is removed from TOC. After sending a msg to the list, the search form is available again and the respective files have been recreated. Running the nightly cronjob within the mailman crontab - gives me the following errors though:
Subject: cron: /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/nightly_htdig mailman. Note the last line - it is still pointing to the old /opt/www/htdig location. Can that be changed in config file or is that compiled into htdig. Maybe I just need to recompile htdig to my preferred location.
DB2 problem...: /var/www/htdig/db/word2root.db: Permission denied

I tried changing the group on the file in /var/www/htdig/db/ to mailman, but that had no effect.
Any attempts to use the search page yields:
ht://Dig error
htsearch detected an error. Please report this to the webmaster of this site. The error message is:
Unable to read configuration file
You could try the following and see if it has any beneficial effects:
1. Select one of your lists and run /usr/local/mailman/bin/blowaway_htdig for that list
2. The search form should now be gone from the list's TOC page
3, Send a message to the list
4. The search form should now be back on the list's TOC page. The /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/<listname>/htdig/<listname>.conf file should be back and alone in the dirctory. Also the symlink in /usr/local/mailman/archives/htdig/ should be back.
5. Run nightly_htdig -v <listname> to rebuild the list's search indexes and confirm the script says it is doing so. This should add the extra files to /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/<listname>/htdig/ and update the list's TOC page.
6. Searching should now work.
Thank you VERY much for all your help. I am reinstalling htdig 3.1.6 as we speak. I'll let you know if that works any better. Or if you have any suggestions - please send.
