Hi folks
I'm trying to port my existing mailman setup to my new server. I've made note of the change of filesystem layout and followed the instructions for connecting to Exim4. I've configured Apache and the web interface to mailman's working fine.
However, I've got two possibly related problems.
- starting the new service fails as below:
[root@stan1 ~]# service mailman start Starting mailman: Site list is missing: mailman [FAILED] [root@stan1 ~]#
In /var/log/mailman/error it shows:
[root@stan1 ~]# tail -f /var/log/mailman/error Dec 12 22:42:15 2005 mailmanctl(5556): Site list is missing: mailman Dec 12 22:42:15 2005 (5556) Site list is missing: mailman
Yes, I went through this during one of my upgrades. I no longer remember if it was from RH9 to FC2 or from FC2 to FC3. But, if you google the "Site list is missing" error, you should find a recipe for creating the "site" list which is now required by mailman for it to work correctly. Is your new server essentially an "upgrade" for mailman?
