Cron Mailman digest errors

[Guile]

After I moved accounts to a new server I started to receive the following errors:

Email subject: Cron <mailman@tux> /usr/bin/python2.4 -S /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/cron/senddigests

Email body:

I verified that the only directories under /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/private/ are mailman/ and maiman.mbox/

I'm the third person to post - anyone know the solution to this?

[cpanelinfoseeker]

I can help with the cause of it. In the example given, the needed directories are not there. As Guile said:
"I verified that the only directories under /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/private/ are mailman/ and maiman.mbox/ "

There should be directories with the other list(s) names also. That is why the "[Errno 20] Not a directory:" error is there, because the directory is not there.

Hope this helps all three of you,
Ron

As of a few days ago I also receive this via email along with the initial one.

I have the same error on 2 servers after account copy

[bear]

"has a bogus archive_directory"

If you look in the server, the account transfer isn't moving the archives but instead creates a file with that name set to 755 in place of them. In recent moves, I had to copy all the archives over manually using SCP and set correct permissions to fix it.

[Guile]

The problem is that the old server is gone. So I can't copy anyhting over manually. Any idea on how I can fix this without having access to the old server.

Also, I think obvious from the exchange here that this is a cPanel account transfer/copy bug/issue that needs to be reported and addressed by by the staff. Has anyone reported this yet?

[tavenger5]

I'm having the same problem with one of my accounts that has e-mail lists.

Edit - this is how I fixed it:

Remove the previous private directory:
rm -r -f /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/private

Copy archive from old server:
scp -r PREVIOUS_SERVER_IP:/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/private /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives

[PDW]

and what if the old server is gone?

[Guile]

and what if the old server is gone?

This is is my problem as well. The old server is gone and cPanel to cPanle transfer script seems to have failed to copy everything in this case.
