[Mailman-Users] bin/arch very slow

2003-01-23 Thread Andrew D. Clark
In MM 2.1, running bin/arch on a largish mbox file (~450MB) takes a heck of a long time (~8 hrs) on a reasonably fast machine. The real time eater seems to lie in generating the article database. Anyone else run into this? Anyone have a solution? -- Andrew Clark Campus Network Programmer Off

[Mailman-Users] archive limits in 2.1?

2003-01-23 Thread Andrew D. Clark
Is there any way (or if not, can there be a way) to limit the size/age of an archive? The current method seems to be manual munging of the mbox and then rerunning bin/arch. -- Andrew Clark Campus Network Programmer Office of Information Technology University of California, Santa Barbara [EMAIL

[Mailman-Users] speeding up archiver in mailman 2.1b3?

2002-10-23 Thread Andrew D. Clark
Since I'm hopelessly backlogged in my archive queue (1644 files), does anyone have any suggestions for speeding up archiving? The qrunner process is certainly eating up CPU and memory, but is only archiving about 1 msg per minute. All the other queues move at a decent pace. -- Andrew Clark Ca

[Mailman-Users] qrunner backlog in mailman 2.1b3

2002-10-23 Thread Andrew D. Clark
OK, so mailman 2.1b3 was doing a better of not getting backlogged than mailman 2.0.12, but today I have 1085 files total in all the queues (552 in the in queue). The oldest file in the in queue is about 1 hour old. Should mailman be able to handle high volume bursty postings like this? The sys

[Mailman-Users] mailman 2.1b3 qrunner performance (backlog)

2002-10-17 Thread Andrew D. Clark
I recently upgraded from mailman 2.0.12 to 2.1b3 and am quite pleased with the new qrunner setup (among other things). We have one particularly high volume list with very bursty postings (since the main poster is scripting postings). In mailman 2.0.12 we'd often have hundreds of files stuck in

A better/easier fix might be to run httpd as the same user that you were running it as under 1.3.24. Sounds like you were running it as GID 1 (daemon) before and are now running it as gid 60001. -- Andrew Clark Campus Network Programmer Office of Information Technology University of Californi

This one is always fun. You can rerun ./configure and set the --with-cgi-gid to what it should be (probably 60001 in your case), then rerun make (don't need to do make install), then copy the newly compiled cgi wrapper over the old one. -- Andrew Clark Campus Network Programmer Office of Inform

Same problems for me, and I am running a caching-only named on the box, with Exim. The only item in my qrunner log other than complaining about not being able to acquire a lock is newsyslog turning the log file over... Has anyone had luck in solving this problem through tuning the qrunner varia

I've had consistent problems with the mailman qfiles directory getting heavily backlogged (100-200 files stuck, sometimes for several hours) with several various 2.0.x versions of mailman. The qrunner log shows lines like so: Oct 08 10:03:01 2002 (92546) Could not acquire qrunner lock Oct 08
