Mailman error after updating hostname

[Asif Nawaz]

So I just updated the hostname to a FQDN (should have done it before, but realised it wasn't set when I got some HELO errors when sending emails).

This might be of use to someone!

The hostname changed successfully, I could also see it in /etc/hosts, but after the change, cPanel thrrew up the following:

Updating Apache configuration
Updating cPanel license...Done. Update succeeded. Building global cache for cpanel...Done
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/cpanel/bin/reset_mailman_hostname", line 44, in ?
raise SystemExit(main(sys.argv))
File "/usr/local/cpanel/bin/reset_mailman_hostname", line 31, in main
file=open('/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists/' + list + '/config.pck','r')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists/mailman/config.pck'

I attempted to reboot mailman, but it failed with the following:

mailman has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "mailmanctl is not running").

Then I looked around and the forum and tried to start it via the

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start

command.

It said mailman wasn't running so obviously couldn't be restarted (in retrospect this wasn't the smartest move).

I then checked if mailman was enabled under WHM > Tweam settings, and it was.

So then I attempted to do a forced reinstall of mailman with the following:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/reinstallmailman --force

This command is deprecated, so the system gave me a new one.

That command took a few minutes to run and displayed a whole bunch of things with (fixing) at the end. Once it was run, it said:

Problems found: 85
Re-run as mailman (or root) with -f flag to fix
Non-standard property restored: personalize

Interestingly enough, though, I attempted to restart mailman and it seemed to restart without any problems.

I've seen this issue on this ticket here: http://forums.cpanel.net/f34/cpanel-...or-212612.html

So, the question is, before I open a ticket, how do I make sure mailman is working exactly the way it should? Any diagnostics I can run?

Thanks!

Hello

The following command may be useful:

# /scripts/fixmailman

However, if you continue to experience the same problem, feel free to submit a ticket as suggested in the other thread.

Thank you.

No problems found, apparently .

Thank you.
