I just moved my Mailman/Apache/Postfix server to a new hard drive,

Private archives work fine, as does everything else as far as I can
tell.

I suspect that the problem has to do with my renaming the root hard
drive (though of course the paths would typically still be
/usr/local/mailman/ which accounts for most everything still working).

I've tried switching to private archives and back again in the hope
of building a new working symlink, but there's no difference.  I made
no changes to the Apache config file, and all the paths and rules
there look like they should work.

Any ideas where else I should search for a fix?


What does Apache say when you try to access a public archive? What's in
Apache's error log?

Symbolic link not allowed.


Is SELinux or some other security policy management involved?

nope.


What are the ownership and permissions of
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private ?  In particular, is it either
owned by the apache user or o+x ?


they were were

drwxrws---      nobody  mailman private
drwxrwsr-x      billc   mailman public

I looked on the old hd and found them set as

drwxrwx---      billc   mailman private
drwxrwxr-x      billc   mailman public

I tried a perms fix, but that didn't do the  trick.

So I tried changing them to that. Bad idea, now I'm getting a "we've hit a bug in mailman 2.1.9..." message when logging in to the web interface. I tried another perms fix, and the symptoms are unchanged.

Help, Mr Wizard! I have no idea how to set an "rws" to get it back to broken but generally functional.
