I created the superuser (used default, mailman).
When I try to login I get a 403 error. No errors are in the apache2 log.
What's in /opt/mailman/mm/var/logs/error.log? Do you get the 403 when going to the login page or when submitting the login form?
is it a generic 403 error page or a styled page that says user or password is incorrect?
Are you sure you are using the correct password. You can use
mailman-web changepassword
to be sure?
No, I am not logged in. I am an admin on mailman2 so I thought it would import credentials. But I am unable to log in as anyone (password problem).
Mailman 3 is completely different from Mailman 2.1 in this respect. In mailman 2.1 an address listed as owner only meant that address was sent admin notices. Being able to manage a list meant knowing the list admin password whether or not you were listed as an owner, and similarly for moderator.
In Mailman 3 the authentication is being logged in as a person who is a superuser or who has an address matching that of an owner or moderator. And the login's are managed by django-allauth. There are multiple reasons why import21 won't create those logins, not the least of which is that Mailman 2.1 authentication is per list and Mailman 3 authentication is per user.
See https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/8-mile... and perhaps also https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/archit...
I see 3 options on the archive page, recent, active and popular. None of which show any threads. Since the list has been dormant for quite a while there are no 'recent' posts nor 'active' posts. I don't know what makes a thread 'popular'. I guess the only way to know what is going on at this point is to be able to login as superuser.
'favorites' are posts you've marked as a favorite and 'popular' are posts with some number of up votes. None of these will exist in an imported archive as those are HyperKitty things with no pipermail equivalent.
