Well it was a new install, but there was an old not used version pressent.
i installed python 2.3.3
Did you install it in the same location as and replacing any previous version of python on the system?
looking at ps -aux i see this:
mailman 28884 0.1 0.9 5964 4792 ? S 22:55 0:00 python2.3 /home/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s start mailman 28885 2.8 0.8 5736 4600 ?

only thing i changed was when starting mailmanctl it looked for qrunner but
he didnt find it
which indicates something went wrong with your installation if your install $prefix was /home/mailman and the 'make install' did not put a copy of the MM 2.1.4 qrunner into /home/mailman/bin
so i put t there
put what from where to where?
fronm the install files.
If the 'make install' had executed correctly you should not have had to copy over/install any files by hand.
MM 2.1.4 does not normally execute a file called $prefix/cron/qrunner and not from its normal crontab. If cron is trying to execute a qrunner scr8pt it is probably the old Mailman installation's crontab that is so doing. Did you check that this had been removed before you installed the new MM 2.1.4 crontab? Did you install the MM 2.1.4 crontab?
The syntax error you reported originally could come about if:
1. your old MM crontab was not removed
2. you copied a copy of the MM 2.1.4 qrunner into $prefix/cron/
3. your old MM crontab referenced an older python installation still on your system and not the Python 2.3.3 you have installed
4. as a result, an entry in the old MM crontab tried to execute the (daemon) qrunner used by MM 2.1.4 with an old version of python which saw a feature used in the new code as being a syntax error
thanxs steffan.
Hello did a new install of mailman 2.1.4 now cron gives this error
File "/home/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 96 print >> fd, _(__doc__) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
any idees
what version of python are you running? the README says
MM 2.1.x normally operates its qrunners as daemons, unlike MM 2.0.x which
used a cron executed qrunner.
You appear to have a cron based qrunner yet say you are running a newly installed MM 2.1.4.
Did you install this over an earlier MM 2.0.x install and if so did you remove the old crontab before installing the one for the newer release?
