Thank you (and to Brian Carpenter for his separate reply). I do not have access to the /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty directory myself. However, the hosting provider has said that they can put the archives in the right location here; the hard thing is, as you say, getting the lists themselves in place. Rather than trying something that's probably impossible with the access I have, I'll just redo the lists manually and then get the archives set. I do hope this goes OK; I feel like it would have been relatively straightforward if I were using a dedicated server instead of a shared system, but I'm getting this set up for someone with no computer skills, and they need something like a shared, supported environment with something like cPanel for when I'm not around to maintain it. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
