mailman not starting, status is active (exited)
Hi,
After quite a long time with no issues, I’ve started having a problem where mailman won’t start and I don’t see any clear error message
I’m running on Ubuntu, not sure which mailman version (forgot how to determine). Here is the status info
sudo systemctl status mailman ● mailman.service - LSB: Mailman Master Queue Runner Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/mailman; generated) Active: active (exited) since Wed 2020-08-19 07:38:59 PDT; 2h 46min ago Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) Process: 2351 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/mailman stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 2386 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/mailman start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Aug 19 07:38:59 relay1 systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Mailman Master Queue Runner... Aug 19 07:38:59 relay1 systemd[1]: Started LSB: Mailman Master Queue Runner
Any ideas?
thanks Ricardo

The idea is available in /var/lib/mailman/logs/error file.

Is this Mailman 3 or Mailman 2.1? If Mailman 2.1, the appropriate list in mailmain-users@python.org <https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/>.
The usual cause of Mailman not starting in either case is a stale master lock. In either case, the locks are in a directory named locks/ in Mailman's hierarchy.
In the Mailman 3 case if that directory contains files
master.lck
and
master.lck|hhhh|pppp|tttttt
(hhhh is the host name, pppp is a PID and tttttt is a timestamp) and the PID pppp is not running on the host, just remove those files.
For Mailman 2.1, its the same except the names are
master-qrunner master-qrunner.hhhh.pppp
