Hi all, I am having trouble getting my mailman instance to run. It was working for sometime, but I had to move some files around and add a new disk to the system, and now it refuses to start. The error I see is:
Starting mailman: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 607, in ? main() File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 449, in main lock = acquire_lock(force) File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 263, in acquire_lock lock = acquire_lock_1(force) File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 248, in acquire_lock_1 lock.lock(0.1) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 243, in lock self.__write() File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 422, in __write fp = open(self.__tmpfname, 'w') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lock/mailman/master-qrunner.calit2-web05.ucsd.edu.5359.1' Exception exceptions.OSError: <exceptions.OSError instance at 0xb7b01eec> in Exception exceptions.OSError: <exceptions.OSError instance at 0xb7b01ecc> in [FAILED] It appears that mailmanctl tries to create the lockfile, but does not, as there is nothing in /var/lock/mailman. I have run check_perms and there were no errors. Any thoughts?
