Hi all,
i tried to install Mailman3 according to https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-insta.... I’m using Mariadb instead of PostgreSQL, but that is no problem until now. Where i fail: I have to make an entry var_dir: /opt/mailman/mm/var in /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg. But there is no directory /opt/mailman/mm, and there are no subdirectories. No $var_dir, no postfix_lmtp, no postfix_transports. Where do i get those files from?
You need to create the /opt/mailman/mm/ directory.
$ sudo -u mailman mkdir /opt/mailman/mm/ --mode 755
The files within it will be created automatically when you start Mailman core. I have updated https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#setup-mailman-us... to indicate this.
