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.
1) 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
2) sending emails doesn't work. I've configured exim4 as described (fixing the
path problem to the config.pck). I've included the bits I've added as well as
the extract from /var/log/exim/main.log that shows the incoming email being
processed. There are no other log entries however, not in messages,
main.log, or mailman/error.
[root@stan1 ~]# tail -f /var/log/exim/main.log
