[Mailman-Users] migration mailman lists, dealing with paths in config.db
I'm trying to migrate our install of mailman on an old redhat server to a shiny old debian server. Luckily both are running 2.0.11. I've found that the lists/mylist/config.db file contains the paths to the archives. On the debian install the paths are a different location, so a variety of commands are failing. Is there an easy way of updating the paths in the config.db file? I have tried the config_list program, it fails when using the -i option, do to the difference in paths! Preferably a scripty way, as there are quite a few lists to move.

Luckier still if the new server had a 2.1.x version because then you could use bin/fix_url.py (a withlist script) to fix the problem below. As it is, you'll probably have to make your own withlist script to do this. I've found that the lists/mylist/config.db file contains the paths to the archives.

(I'm surprised that it fails.) But ignoring that... it might be easiest to work around the problem by creating symbolic links at the old locations... at least long enough to update them. You could use bin/withlist to modify all your lists. (Run it with no arguments for help. In particular, not the section where it explains the -r argument.) -- Jim Tittsler http://www.OnJapan.net/ GPG: 0x01159DB6 Python Starship http://Starship.Python.net/crew/jwt/ Mailman IRC irc://irc.freenode.net/#mailman -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
