Ok, maybe this is an issue with my understanding, but... I am on a gentoo system, trying to clean up some things (inherited) - duplicates, etc. I had an old version of Mailman (2.1.7) and 2.1.9 installed.
I removed the 2.1.7 version with no apparent problems, but then updated 2.1.9 to the latest rev - 2.1.9-r2 (this is in the testing/unstable repo on gentoo, so maybe this is a bug with this package)... They aren't supposed to make major changes between minor rev bumps like this, but they did this time: 1. The install directory was changed from /usr/local/mailman to /usr/lib64/mailman. 2. They also split up some of the stuff... if I'm not mistaken, the following directories used to be in the main /usr/local/mailman: archives data lists locks logs qfiles spam but they all got moved to /var/lib/mailman... I got all of this sorted (fixed the paths in the aliases files and in main.cf for postfix), and mailman seems to be working fine - I send a message to a list, I see it processed in the log, and the message is delivered to all list members... but... If I try to 'start' mailman, it won't start - I get the (!!) error. If I try to stop it, it says it isn't started. What am I missing? -- Best regards, Charles ------------------------------------------------------ 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
