-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Moving a Mailman list from one server to a new one has been a *very* smooth process for the most part, but I'm noticing some small quirks in the wake.
Here's an account of how I accomplished this. 1. Installed Mailman 2.1.5, Postfix 2.1.4, and Apache 2.0.50 on the new server. These versions exactly match the ones on the old server. 2. Went through the process dictated in FreeBSD-post-install-notes, INSTALL, README, and README.POSTFIX, which essentially involved editing main.cf, httpd.conf, adding MTA = 'Postfix' to mm_cfg.py and creating the "mailman" list. 3. Under the direction of section 3.4 in the FAQ Wizard, I copied the data, archives and lists directories from the old server to the new one. But rather than clobbering the pre-existing directories, I copied only the *relevant* directories from archives and lists (i.e. archives/private/listname* and lists/listname). Nothing was copied from data and the "mailman" list was not copied. 4. Ran withlist -l -r fix_url listname && genaliases 5. Started postfix and qrunner. 6. Configured Apache on the old site to proxy and Postfix to relay to the new server while DNS changes propagated. Now, the aforementioned quirks: 1. The old lists are not advertised on the new Web site. 2. Apache will not let me access the public archives (that were private before the move) and I get a 403. I'm sure this has to do with Apache 2's default deny policy, but not entirely sure how to deal with it (I'm still somewhat of an Apache 2 newbie, but I've had a few years experience with 1.x). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
