Hi- I just upgraded from RH7.3 to RH9 and, while I had initially installed mailman 2.0.13 in /usr/share/mailman, I let RH install 2.1 during the upgrade. Afterwards, I discovered that the new location is /var/mailman.
I thought that moving the lists to the new location would be a simple matter. As user mailman I tarred up the mailman/archive/* and mailman/lists/* directories, moved them to the new location, and untarred them. I restarted httpd and could get to the list admin login page but, upon logging in, I get an error. Also, the lists are not forwarding mail. (The lists are primarily for a bunch of YMCA programs which are moribund during the summer so there is no traffic at this time.) Can anyone suggest either a way to fix my current move/upgrade strategy or tell me the right way to start over? I'm pasting in the error message below. Thanks, --aaron ==================================================== Bug in Mailman version 2.1 We're sorry, we hit a bug!
