Yes, I have learned a heck of a lot about Mailman today. I hate the pain 
when something breaks, but in trying to fix it, you generally learn a lot. 
What I found is that an RPM package I had installed dropped the apache 
server flag "MAILMAN"  I still don' t know why either, but it is working 
again.

That was a typo... I was actually trying to configure the mailman list. I 
saved my mailman files and decided to do a full reinstall.

The data/sitelist.cfg is there, which is what puzzles me. You were correct 
again though, even with this error, I have been able to get things up and 
running again.

Thanks a lot for your help!

This appears to be specific to your Mailman package, whatever that is.
The Mailman project distribution issues no such message, but all it
seems to be saying is your web server isn't running when you start
Mailman. This should not be a problem for Mailman except that you
can't use the web interface until you start the web server.

The data/sitelist.cfg list configuration is intended to be used only
for the site ('mailman') list. For any other list, you ar probably
better off with the normal defaults.

This error occurs because there is no data/sitelist.cfg file. Either it
has been removed or was never included in your package or possibly
mailman's data/ directory is not in the same parent directory
(/usr/lib/mailman ?) as Mailman's bin/ directory.

As far as I can tell from what you've provided, Mailman is not broken.
The problems are only that Apache wasn't running when you started
Mailman, and a file that you don't need anyway may be missing.

[Mailman-Users] Broken mailman

2007-10-18 Thread Donovan R. Palmer 
Oh great and wise jedi-nights of mailman... I request your assistance. My 
install of mailman has broke and I'm a bit lost on this one.  

When starting up the mailman service, I get the following error:

mazar:/usr/lib/mailman # service mailman start
Starting mailman (Warning: the Apache2 webinterface for Mailman has not been 
activated!) done

Doing some digging around, when I attempt to apply a template to my new list, 
using this command:

bin/config_list -i data/sitelist.cfg allstaff

I receive the following error

  File "bin/config_list", line 362, in 
main()
  File "bin/config_list", line 357, in main
do_input(listname, infile, checkonly, verbose)
  File "bin/config_list", line 263, in do_input
execfile(infile, globals)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'data/sitelist.cfg'

Any suggestions on what could be the problem and how to debug this? I have dug 
around a fair bit this morning and don't have a clue as to what the problem is 
or why it even broke in the first place.

Many thanks in advance.

Donovan

This isn't *quite* right. This is some notification or other that's
intended for the owner of the announce list. Is there a similar log
entry that references either [EMAIL PROTECTED]

> Oddly, I seem to be getting mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't see that indicated from this single log entry, but maybe there
are others you didn't include. That's okay. At first guess, I'd
suppose there's something wrong getting the email to your server,
which is somewhat out of the scope of this mailing list.

Thanks Patrick, I'll start looking

It's getting through to the server - this from the exim log

Oddly, I seem to be getting mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
but nothing else

[Mailman-Users] Broken Mailman 2.1.2

2003-06-05 Thread jsmith 
Good morning all,

 

I have been wrestling with my problem for a while and thought I would
asks again.  The lists works for the most part but I do have a problem
with not being able to add any headers or footers.  I had initially
Mailman 2.1.1 installed fresh.  I thought something was broken from the
install(I guess it still could be).  I upgraded to 2.1.2 and this has
not fixed my issues.

 

I have verified the problem issues with several types of email clients,
When I view the post, I have no footer or header, the list information
at the bottom of these posts, subscription and things like that which
should be automatic.  Also if I add any headers of footers to either the
digested or non-digested options they never show up either.

 

However, when I open the post in outlook and view the options so I can
see the headers, here is what I get..

As you can see the automated footers are there in the header
information.  Now this is not just an outlook issue,  I have used
Eudora, OutlookXP, Squirrelmail, Hotmail, and asks a bunch of the ppl on
the list and they all report the same issue.

 

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
