First of all, all the archives, both public and private, are in the archives/private/ tree. Public archives also have symlinks in the archives/public/ tree. Thus the pipermail alias should always point to the archives/public/ directory. By pointing it to archives/private, you have made all archives publicly accessible via the pipermail URL regardless of list setting. You should make the pipermail alias point to archives/public/ and if necessary, fix permissions on that directory and remove any structure other than symlinks that you "migrated". >Finally, this morning, HostV managed to fix it, but here are the new >problems: > >1. Looks like they had backed up to initial migration, where all >my pending moderator requests are lost. I'm sorry, but if your moderator request data is lost, it's lost. You could try asking them to restore only the lists/LISTNAME/ directory with the most recen content they have, but I would advise you to bite the bullet and accept what you have, because it sounds like the more you have them do, the more they screw it up. >2. The "Go to archives" still do not show current and now changing >the url from pipermail to private brings a blank page. Fix your pipermail alias to point to archives/public/ Then make sure that archives/public/aisworld_lists.aisnet.org is a symlink to archives/private/aisworld_lists.aisnet.org and not a directory. Then look at archives/private/aisworld_lists.aisnet.org/. If the archives are not there, Maybe the hosting service lost them. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
