Re: [Mailman-Users] Checking the Database

[Anilkumar Padmaraju]

Thank you, Mark.  This information is helpful.

Does /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/LISTNAME/database/ is also pipermail 
archives.  The directory name says database, so not sure what database is it.  
I see below files under that database directory:
2016-September-article
2016-September-author
2016-September-date
2016-September-subject
2016-September-thread

Regards,

Anil.

The archives a separate thing. The important things are

lists/LISTNAME/config.pck which has all the list configuration and membership 
info.

archives/private/LISTNAME/* which is the pipermail archives for the list

archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox which is a cumulative mbox 
containing all archived posts and which can be used to rebuild the pipermail 
archive.

For info on moving lists and archives, see <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030682> 
and <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030681>.

What part of the reply at

do you not understand?

If you are referring to files in archives/private/LISTNAME/, these are
all files built and maintained by the pipermail archiver.

Subject: Checking the Database

Where can I check which Database our mailman server is using.

As per the link https://pythonhosted.org/mailman/src/mailman/docs/DATABASE.html 
our mailman server does not have file /etc/mailman.cfg

On our mailman server dir is under /usr/local/mailman and has below dirs.
archives  cron   lists  mail  pythonlib  spam   unsubscribes.log
bin   data   locks  Mailman   qfiles templates
cgi-bin   icons  logs   messages  scriptstests

The mailman.cfg is not in that dir as well.  Is there any other file I need to 
check to see which database it is using.

Thank you,

Anil.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Checking the Database

[Anilkumar Padmaraju]

Thank you, Mark!  We have over 100 lists in our mailman server, out of those 10 
lists we are moving to another application and seeing how to move.   

The mails are archived under /usr/local/mailman/archives/public//.  
Under that directory there is database directory containing files like below.  
How that is related to lists/LISTNAME/config.pck or any advice on moving this 
database files to that new application.

Your installation is Mailman 2.1. Mailman 2.1, at least as distributed, does 
not use a database. All persistent data for a list is in a Python pickle at 
lists/LISTNAME/config.pck.

There are 3rd party add-ons to use LDAP or MySQL for membership data, but you 
almost certainly aren'tusing either of those.
