[Mailman-Users] empty archives

[Dan Mick]

Each message should be adding to .mbox; is it?
Each time a message is added, digesting should be occurring (assuming
you haven't turned it off).
Are there clues in any of the logs?

> Whenever I go to a page like:
> http://www.mysite/pipermail/list-name/
> (e.g. http://www.most.org.pl/pipermail/eko-news/ - this is real)
> I have a message "Currently, there are no archives".

> I made the following section in my Web server configuration file:
> 
> <Directory /var/lib/mailman/archives/public>
> Options FollowSymLinks
> order allow,deny
> allow from all
> </Directory>

> and I made the "pipermail" directory a symbolic link to 
> /var/lib/mailman/archives/public
> 
> So, when I use the address http://www.mysite/pipermail/list-name/, 
> it reads files from the /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/list-name . 
> There are only two files there - one of them is "index.html" with this

> pipermail.pck with some strange contents.

> However, all the meesage sent to a list exist in the

> raw text data of all messages sent to the list so fat.
> 
> But this is not I what I am looking for :-(
> I want a real archive, accessible from the info page of every list.

> What I did wrong?
> Why this "index.html" in my /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/list-
> name directory is only a "currently there are no archives" instead of 
> nice page with real archives?
> 
> Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
