[Mailman-Users] move from version 2.0.11 to 2.1.5

[Chad Rebuck]

Thanks John

Mailman was installed via RPM.  I actually did have the lists/ and
archives/ in the incorrect folder but I have copied them over to
/var/lib/mailman now.

I ran thse commands after moving the files.  However, I still don't
see any members listed.  Certainly I am missing something else or
using these commands incorrectly.

/usr/lib/mailman/bin/update -f
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/withlist -l -r fix_url a2-16v-list

Here is the output

[root at localhost mailman]# bin/withlist -l -r fix_url a2-16v-list
Importing fix_url...
Running fix_url.fix_url()...

[root at localhost mailman]# /usr/lib/mailman/bin/update
No updates are necessary.
[root at localhost mailman]# /usr/lib/mailman/bin/update  -f
