Yes, but the only cron that has to do with archives is the 'nightly_gzip' which compresses the text mbox format file. No cron is involved in updating the HTML archives with new posts. That is supposed to happen on the fly as posts are received and processed. > >> I can run ./mailman/bin/arch <listname> and it will build the archives for >> the web interface. >> >> What is the proper procedure to build web links for *all* lists? >> Is there an antry in mm_cfg.py that I am missing that is disabling the >> building of the web links? Or is there an entry that *should* be there that >> is not? ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX = 2 is the correct setting for archiving to the list's global mbox file and the HTML archives. This is the default setting in Defaults.py. If you have it set to 1 in mm_cfg.py, that would explain your symptom. Also, the following default settings should not be changed PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = No PRIVATE_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = No If this does not explain the problem, it may be a permission issue or ?? Check Mailman's 'error' log for any reports of errors from the archiver. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
