Hey Mark - your jedi instinct was on track.... >>When starting up the mailman service, I get the following error: >> >>mazar:/usr/lib/mailman # service mailman start >>Starting mailman (Warning: the Apache2 webinterface for Mailman has not >>been activated!) >>done > > > This appears to be specific to your Mailman package, whatever that is. > The Mailman project distribution issues no such message, but all it > seems to be saying is your web server isn't running when you start > Mailman.

Yes, I have learned a heck of a lot about Mailman today. I hate the pain when something breaks, but in trying to fix it, you generally learn a lot. What I found is that an RPM package I had installed dropped the apache server flag "MAILMAN" I still don' t know why either, but it is working again. >>bin/config_list -i data/sitelist.cfg allstaff > > The data/sitelist.cfg list configuration is intended to be used only > for the site ('mailman') list.

I saved my mailman files and decided to do a full reinstall. >>I receive the following error >> >> File "bin/config_list", line 362, in <module> >> main() >> File "bin/config_list", line 357, in main >> do_input(listname, infile, checkonly, verbose) >> File "bin/config_list", line 263, in do_input >> execfile(infile, globals) >>IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'data/sitelist.cfg' >> >>Any suggestions on what could be the problem and how to debug this?

The data/sitelist.cfg is there, which is what puzzles me. You were correct again though, even with this error, I have been able to get things up and running again. Thanks a lot for your help!
