I was doing some edits of the archive template files on my installation of Mailman 2.1.5
Long story short, I ran into some write permission problems when trying to upload my edited versions and in a fit of bone-headedness, I screwed up a bunch of permissions by over zealously using the -R option of chmod... This broke everything. I couldn't access the admin pages, the archives or post to my lists. I panicked. Then I tried to do a rebuild/reinstall from source. No luck there, and then I remembered the check_perms script and used that to fix the damage I did. After a restart of the mailman daemon using mailmanctl, I could now post to the list and get to the admin pages. So far so good. It's not a complete disaster anymore, just a minor one. But now the archive simply will not work. Nothing gets added to the archive mbox file when I post to the list nor can I access the archive web pages (and yes, I double-checked the list archive settings and made sure the archive files are all still there). I am using the built-in archiver, it seems to not be able to find the archive files because all I get when I try to view the archive is a page that says "Private archive file not found". I've looked at everything I can think of at this point and can't find a solution. What am I missing? Is there an obscure setting somewhere or a database file or something out there that needs to be told what lists are on the server? Help will be much appreciated.
