Hi all I did a whacky transistion form an old installation to a new one. The old installation is only available as files (no running Mailman), since a hard dist crashed and we were left with bare data.
I did a straightforward transition roughly as described in http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-January/055208.html Now when I visit http://OURHOST/mailman/admin/OURLIST and enter password, I get --- Bug in Mailman version 2.1.9 We're sorry, we hit a bug! Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs. --- This is the error log (the listname and host name were replaced manually by OURLIST and OURHOST): --- Feb 02 23:15:27 2008 (12889) Failed config.pck write, retaining old state.
