[Mailman-Users] Cannot create public archive list

[Alex Chavez]

After an ordeal reinstalling Python mailman has not listed any new 
archives. I traced it down to the fact that the links to 
mailman/archived/private do not exist in the public directory. So I went 
in and toggled that option in the admin area. The links do not get 
created and I get this error: (running: Mailman 1.0 python 1.5.2 on Sun 
Solaris 7)

Traceback (innermost last):
   File "/usr/local/mailman/scripts/driver", line 112, in run_main
     main()
   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 167, in main
     ChangeOptions(lst, category, cgi_data, doc)
   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 885, in

   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 794, in Save

     breaklink(pubdir)
   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 56, in 
breaklink
     reraise()
   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 52, in 
breaklink
     os.unlink(link)
OSError: [Errno 1] Not owner: '/usr/local/mailman/archives/public/anyone'



Anyone know who should own the anyone directory and it's contents?

I tried root daemon and mailman. Keeping the group as mailman.

In fact root owns every file in the mail mailman directory which seems 
kind of fishy. This may be due to recovering the program from a backup 
copy.


Response appreciated
