Mark thank you for your help, unfortunately as I investigate further there is only one config.pck left an its corrupt. all the other lists have not config.pck. Is there anyway to recover a list of members email addresses?

In fact some config.pck are missing for some lists. Mailman 2.1.5's Mailman/MailList.py had code to test and set if necessary a list's data_version attribute every time the list was instantiated. I think you must be looking in the wrong directory. If there is no lists/LISTNAME/config.pck (ignoring for the moment the possibility of a Mailman 2.0.x config.db), the list doesn't exist for Mailman 2.1.x Do you have any mods in your 2.1.5? If you think your config.pck's are otherwise OK, you could always do #!/bin/sh file=`mktemp` echo mlist.data_version = 0 > $file for list in `/path/to/mailman/bin/list_lists --bare`; do /path/to/mailman/bin/config_list -i $file $list done rm $file It doesn't matter what you set data_version to as long as it's less than 98. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman Migration to new server
Ok to add to this a dumpdb show that no config.pck has a data_version. In fact some config.pck are missing for some lists.

[Mailman-Users] Migration of old debian woody mailman server
I have to migrate a dead mailman server running on debian woody to a new Ubuntu server. The drive failed and I was able to image the drive to a new drive but mailman will not run, seems that their is significant problems with the current mailman installation. All the commands seem die with python tracebacks. The data directories for mailman seen to be OK. I did some research on moving a list to a new server an it seems reasonably easy. But I am concerned about moving from an older version of mailman to a newer version. Additionally, I am going to use postfix for the mta, the old server is using exim. I also notice postgres running on the old server and wonder if exim/mailman could be using to for management. I did not have time to fully research the setup, its been running unattended for 8+ years. I am looking for input about possible pitfalls and ideas to make this go easier Any help would be greatly appreciated.
