You left out some information that would help answer your question: * Do you have shell access to both servers? If so you can copy the files in the mailman "var" directory. * Will both servers be running the same basic version of mailman? E.g. 2.1 vs. 2.0? If you're upgrading versions at the same time you may need to run bin/update after the data files have been copied. * Will the new server have a new domain? If so, and you have shell access then you'll also have have to run bin/fix_url to change the domain. * You almost certainly have to check the values mm_cfg.py so they match the new server. * If you don't have shell access then I think its going to be very difficult. Don't forget to stop mailman from running before taking a snapshot of the files to copy and give yourself time to test the new installation before you turn your lists back on. -- John Dennis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
