Topic: Revisiting Mailman migration issues

[tolistim]

Hi Folks,

I've dug through the archives concerning the mailman contrib, but nothing that I've tried has allowed me to move my old lists from SME 7.5.1 to SME 9.0.  To recap my steps:

9.0 server is replacing the 7.5.1 server
All accounts and other settings migrated properly
Stopped the mailman process on the original server
Created a tar archive of /var/lib/mailman/
Copied the resulting tar file over to the new server
Used yum to install smeserver-mailman / mailman
Set the password for the new server's mailman install
Extracted the tar file into the proper location
Verified the extraction went into /var/lib/mailman properly
Executed signal-event post-upgrade
Executed signal-event reboot
After the reboot, I tried adding two of my previously working lists
signal-event mailman-addlist tools-user
signal-event mailman-addlist tools-announce

No errors and everything looks good, but no access to either of these lists from the list manager page or via sending a request.

Trying to access the server at /mailman tells me there are no public lists.  Trying to access /mailman/tools-user results in a 404.

Can anyone spot my missed step?

Thanks,
Tim

Now I'm embarrassed.  No sooner had I posted that and gone back into the lab that I noticed that the mailman instance was disabled.  I enabled it and I can now get to my lists and all of my configuration settings are correct.
