Because you moved /usr/local/mailman while Mailman was running on the old system so you moved the lock files. >We re-run mailmanctl with the -s flag without errors: >$ bin/mailmanctl -s start OK >then restart mailman again: >$ bin/mailmanctl -s -q start Unless you stopped Mailman in between, you now have two masters and sets of qrunners running. This is bad. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.068.htp> and stop all the Mailman processes as described there and then do 'bin/mailmanctl start' just once. >The maiman daeman were up but both mailman and http://hostname/mailman/admin/ >didn't work. Does anyone know how to resolve it? Didn't work how? What happens when you post to a list? What happens when you go to that URL? >questions: Is the above moving method correct or not? Did we forget something >else? Is there a better way to move mailman without re-compile it to another >same hostname, IP address, and same OS system machine? I would stop the MTA, web server, Mailman and all other services on the source machine before moving the directories and files, but I would prefer to actually install and test all the software on the new box and then just move the list and archive data for Mailman. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
