Thanks!I've seen a bunch of people asking about how to do a move to a different server (with a different IP name), but no one ever answers them! Has anyone actually done it? I'm keeping the same path names for everything, but the lists don't show up on the web interface (I
Many of those folks have been answered, but when the question and answer have been in the FAQ for a Long Long time, we old-time Mailman guru's often ignore the question.
It's trivial to move to another server. If you keep the same domain name (and host name) it's even more trivial.
If your host name changes then in version 2.1.x you need to use the Mailman command "fix_url" in conjunction with withlist: ~mailman/bin/withlist -l -r fix_url <mylistname> -u <my.new.url>
Hi - THANKS! Unfortunately, that information is not in the FAQ file which comes with the source distribution. Also, the online mailman wizard basically doesn't give you that information also. The only relevant topic there is "How do I
migrate a list from one box to another?", but unfortunately, the answer to that topic has never been filled in! Still under construction. Even if you do a search for fix_url, the only relevant topic is "Where can I change a list or the default URL used for the web interface?" Most of that topic talks about virtual hosts, and the information about fix_url only occurs way at the end of the answer, and only briefly described in the following sentence: "If you want to update existing lists the $prefix/bin/withlist script $prefix/bin/fix_url.py is your friend for resetting things. Just run fix_url.py to get its usage" This sentence only makes sense to me, after reading your email message! :)
And then try using google to search for "moving mailman" or "move mailman" or "migrating mailman". The information about fix_url is basically not there.
So basically someone finally has to answer the unanswered topic in the FAQ wizard. :) -Mark
