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
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
