I did a yum update and then a "yum install mailman". I run a server with a lot of domains on it and a few of them have mailing lists but not all.
list_lists reports 17 mailing lists which is I believe correct. There was a mailman.conf file in the conf.d dir. Thanks! I moved it to a different name (just in case) and now I can at least see the two lists I maintain. I'll email the guy with the other lists and see if he's ok now.

There is data in /usr/local/mailman/lists, and also lots of data in the archives/private dir. But when I try to go to the admin page on any list I get a "list does not exist" message.

Aha. Now I have a clue. The Yum update most likely installed a Mailman package which is now being accessed by Apache and has no lists. There is most likeley now a /etc/httpd/conf.d/mailman file containing "Alias /pipermail/" and "ScriptAlias /mailman/" directives pointing to this new installation. Remove that file. Then you'll also have to figure out if other things such as aliases or other MTA stuff were clobbered by the Yum update. Possibly just doing "yum remove mailman" will fix things as long as there are no other conflicts between the package yum installed and your existing Mailman. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
