This is probably at least part of the problem. The private directory
must be group writable and group 'mailman'.

Yes.

Can you go to either archive from the web and see the 'No messages have
been posted to this list yet' page?

Try running bin/check_perms to be sure the ownership/permissions are OK.
The 'mailman' group has to be able to write everywhere in the
archives/private structure.

Are messages being collected in
archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox?

Are the permissions = 02775 and group = 'mailman' on the
archives/private/listname.mbox/ directories?

Have you overridden any of the "Archive defaults" in mm_cfg.py?

[Mailman-Users] Problems with archiving

[Josh Greenberg]

I have just recently installed mailman and I am trying to get the 
archiving feature to work. I have gone into the archiving settings on 
two different test lists that I set up and told them both to do 
archiving. I set one to public and one to private, just to see how each 
one reacted. So far, not one message that I've sent to the list has been 
archived.

I followed the setup instructions for getting the archiving to work but 
I think I must have missed something. I also found something in the FAQ 
that I added to the httpd.conf file but it still doesn't work.

At first I think it was a permissions problem but I think I fixed that. 
Originally, the public directory was owned by root:other and the private 
was owned by nobody:nobody (the user/group that runs apache). I left the 
private alone and chown'd the public dir to mailman:mailman. In the 
httpd.conf file, I have the following lines:

ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/path/to/mailman/cgi-bin/"
Alias /pipermail/ "/path/to/mailman/archives/public/"

AddDefaultCharset Off
Options FollowSymLinks


Does this seem correct? Am I missing something? Thanks.
