I tried you approach.. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
when I run |
| 59 |
# /etc/init.d/mailman start |
| 60 |
* Starting mailman |
| 61 |
... |
| 62 |
[ !! ] |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
So obviously it's still mad. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
I also checked '/etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py' but it dos not mention paths |
| 67 |
anywhere, so I guess the error is somewhere else.. |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
I next tried to send run strace as David suggested and obviously mailman |
| 70 |
has god reasons to be pissed about some paths.... (see attached) |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
Next question.... anybody have a solution or and idea how to fix |
| 73 |
this..... I try to rebuild mailman and python to see what happens and |
| 74 |
then I Ill get back whit the result. |
