How can i reinstall mailman?

Hello,

The following command will prompt you to install the required packages if the existing mailman RPMs were removed or altered:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms

Feel free to open a support ticket using the link in my signature if the issue continues so we can take a closer look. You can post the ticket number here so we can update this thread with the outcome.

Thank you.

 

[foncho]

Michael, the bug is still here, some other suggestion.

I did go to admin dashboard, when login:

Hello,

To update, it looks like this was due to the existence of a "public" archive directory, instead of it existing as a symlink to the corresponding private archive directory.

Thank you.

Hi guys,

How can I solve this problem, since I have the same behavior as jndawson

Hello @noctur,

In that particular ticket, /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/public/$list_name existed as a directory instead of as as symbolic link to the private archive location (/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/private/$list_name/).

However, there are several potential causes of the issue. It's a good idea to open a support ticket so we can take a closer look if you are facing the same error message.

Thank you.

Hi,

I have the same issue.
Should a private mailing list have a symb link into the :
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/public/
directory?

Regards,

 

[stevenvsi]

Hi,

I deleted the list and recreated as a public one and it worked.

Regards,

Hello @stevenvsi,

I'm happy to see you were able to address the issue.

Should a private mailing list have a symb link into the :
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/public/
directory?

No, the symbolic link is generated when creating a public mailing list. When this happens, a symbolic link is created within "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/public" for the newly created mailing list, linking to it's actual location in the private directory.

Thank you.
