Bug in Mailman version 2.1.9.cp2

[cookiesunshinex]

When I got to "tend to pending moderator requests" on my mailman mailing list, I get the following error message.

============
Bug in Mailman version 2.1.9.cp2

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.
============

From the notification emails that I receive, I know that I have about 4500 messages that need to be "discarded." Those are mostly spam messages that are sent to the mailing list.

I go in every couple of months and "discard" them.

I suspect that mailman is running out of memory. Any way to remove all messages that are pending without using the web interface?

I would rather not delete and re-create the list.

Thanks.

I'm trying to set up mailman lists on transfered accounts and I run into the same problem even after running the /scripts, checking my python version, and reinstalling mailman. *scratches head*

What does the Mailman error log say?

had this bug

for me this bug was due to the fact that python-devel was not installed / properly installed. so it was preventing mailman to work.

i installed python-devel.i386 Rpm, the re-install mailman using the reinstall script found in /scripts/ directory, problem solved.

not sure if it will help with your particular issue but just throught i'd give my 2 cents

 

[schumilux]

Thanks ebinfo, fixed the prob also for me after hours of search

 

[Drew Nichols]

I also wanted to say thank you, as this fixed my problem as well.

Not successful yet

Hello,

I have installed rpm for python.devel.i386 from WHM, but this was what it said:


RPM Package Installer

Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Excluding Packages in global exclude list
Finished
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do
Install Complete


It seems that this rpm is alreay installed?


I went ahead and reinstall mailman, but this problem persists.

Here is the error logs:

Any idea?

Add new member to the list in English but not in Japanese

Hello,

I just tested the mailman with english default setup. And it worked, but when I switched back to Japanese, it did not work with error message with bug.

Anyone had similar experience?

Thanks.

mailman upgrade?

Since current verion of mailman is 2.1.9b, can this be upgraded to 2.1.11?

I am not sure this would resolve the problem, but is there anyone who experienced the similar problem before?

Thanks.

Cpanel was now current

I have updated Cpanel to the most current version to see if it would correct the problem, but the error persists as follow:

Bug in Mailman version 2.1.9.cp2

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.

I have followed the instruction from this thread to reinstall python.devel.i386, but it was already installed. And reinstall mailman from /scripts, but still the problem persists.

It would work if it is in English as default, but when it is set to Japanese, it would kick the error with bug message mentioned above.

Is there any other suggestions?

I have found another thread regarding upgrading to current version of mailman on other thread, but there was no answer regarding this issue of having bug error message.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
