As typically shipped and installed mailman has two "root" directories it can install into, "prefix" and "var_prefix". In this instance "var" mean variable, or where mailman will place its variable data as opposed to its static run time files. Use of var_prefix is optional and depends on how the installation was done initially. Typically what is in var_prefix is archives, data, lists, logs, spam (off the top of my head and thats from a 2.1 perspective, 2.0 is fuzzy these days). It looks like your previous installation didn't separate static runtime files from varible data files. There are two files in the root of the tarball you'll want to read carefully, one is INSTALL, it explains many things and the steps involved. You will also want to read UPGRADING, it will help you go from 2.0 to 2.1. -- 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
