You are trying to run an unconfigured check_perms. I am guessing
mailman-2.1.10 is the directory in which you unpacked the tarball and
ran configure and make.

You need to run 'make install' if you haven't already, and run
bin/check_perms from the 'prefix' directory (/usr/local/mailman by
default).

Absolutely.

The messages for the next digest are stored in
lists/listname/digest.mbox. When you were triggering digests on size
only, these files were averaging half their max size. Now that you are
sending digests daily, they are smaller.

[Mailman-Users] Problem with check_perms script

2008-04-29 Thread Bill Honneus (honneus)
Hi,
 
I am trying to perform the check installation step in the Mailman
Installation Guide.  I am receiving an error when I run the check_perms
script from within my installation folder.
 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-2.1.10]# bin/check_perms
-bash: bin/check_perms: @PYTHON@: bad interpreter: No such file or
directory

I installed Python 2.4.4 and it seems to be in the path as I can execute
this version correctly.  The Mailman installation also seems to have run
fine and I followed all the instructions prior to this step.  
 
I can't seem to find the line in the check_perms script that is failing
either as the shell does not report a line number.
 
Please offer some advice for areas to troubleshoot as I am not all that
familiar with Mailman and am not a linux guru either.
 
Thanks in advance!
 
Bill

[Mailman-Users] Digests and Backups

2008-04-29 Thread Jewel Makda

Hey Mailman gurus!
I have a questions and am hoping someone can explain it to me.  I run 
backups on the lists on my Mailman server. One of the directories I tar 
up is:

/usr/local/mailman/lists/*
The size of the tar file was about 34KB every week.  All of a sudden 
when I ran my last backup it was 7KB.  The only change I made was I 
changed my cron file to send digests out daily, before this was disabled 
and digests were only being sent out when they reached their size. Could 
this be the cause of the small tar file since digests are now going out 
daily? 


Thanks,

--
JM
