I don't understand. How can the file exist if the directory that contains it doesn't exist? Or are you saying that archives/private/telephone_logs.mbox is a file, not a directory? If so, what's in it? What do you see from ls -la archives/private/telephone_logs.mbox >> If the archives/private/telephone_logs.mbox/telephone_logs.mbox file >> exists and contains the past posts to the list, then >> >> bin/arch --wipe list-name >> >> should build archives.

Is it looks >for a telephone_logs.mbox/telephone_logs.mbox file? The index.html file >is empty. Shouldn't contain something? bin/arch --wipe telephone_logs will look for archives/private/telephone_logs.mbox/telephone_logs.mbox by default and will fail if it's not found. There is an option to specify a different file. See bin/arch --help. If you don't have the global .mbox file containing all the past posts, then you probably don't have anything to rebuild it from (unless you have the posts collected somewhere outside of Mailman), and you have no past archives. There may be a permissions issue or something similar preventing archiving. Do you see anything relevant in Mailman's 'error' log? -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
