[Mailman-Users] Moving lists to new server

[Hurley, Michael]

Hey,

I know this has been covered somewhat before--I've read archival posts on
the subject and still am having problems (e.g.
http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/). 

Here is the deal:

Have to move 14 Mailman lists from one server to another. Old Box: Mailman
2.0.13-1; New Box: 2.0.14-18. I realize these are old. I'm hoping that is
not the issue.

So far I have:
0. newlist <listname> on new box; edited alias file. Tested list--it works.
1. Copied ~mailman/archive/private/<listname> from old box to new box
2. Copied ~mailman/lists/<listname>/* from old box to new box
3. chmod'ed and chown'ed where necessary to match other lists on new box
4. /mailman/admin/<listname> appears. Hooray. But when I try to authenticate
for the admin interface, it just hangs and hangs. Sent another email to the
list--nothing.

I tried working with withlist to change path info in the new list's
config.db--but my understanding of this is shallow at best. I think this is
where the problem is, and where I need some help. Thanks.
