Have you tried running "check_perms -f"? I had some similar problems with a new installation and it turns out the permissions on the files and directories weren't correct - that command should fix it.
Hope that helps. -Andreas -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of John Poltorak Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 7:40 AM To: mailman-users@python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Permission denied On Tue, Jan 18, 2005 at 01:10:38PM +0100, Brad Knowles wrote: > At 11:44 AM +0000 2005-01-18, John Poltorak wrote: > > > Jan 18 11:35:20 2005 qrunner(10393): OSError : [Errno 13] Permission denied: > > > >'/usr/local/mailman/qfiles/virgin/1106041778.22+6270e8743606d6150c4dd1d6abb b5b7514ed40ce.pck' > > > > > > > > Is the Errno 13 something which is received from the OS? > > > So, errno=13 is definitely being passed up by the OS to Mailman, > which is correctly interpreting this to mean that some > file/filesystem permission was denied to it. > > As to exactly what that means in your particular context, it's > hard to say.

I think the problem is trying to delete an open file... Is there any reason why the os.unlink (in Switchboard.py) below couldn't be done after fp.close? def dequeue(self, filebase): # Calculate the filename from the given filebase. filename = os.path.join(self.__whichq, filebase + '.pck') # Read the message object and metadata. fp = open(filename) os.unlink(filename) try: msg = cPickle.load(fp) data = cPickle.load(fp) finally: fp.close() if data.get('_parsemsg'): msg = email.message_from_string(msg, Message.Message) return msg, data > -- > Brad Knowles, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little > temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." > > -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania > Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 > > SAGE member since 1995.
