[MM3-users] Re: Help with fresh debian install

by Mark Dadgar

Thanks for the al the help - much appreciated! Mailman3 is a HUGE step up from 2.1.x. Running the commands as the correct user solved my issues. Specially, I ran the import21 command as the “list” user (created by the debian/ubuntu package) and the hyperkitty import command as the “www-data” user. I had to add login shells to the passwd entries for those users to make it happen as they get installed with nologin. I imported a 24G archive inbox and something went wrong along the way - the archives for many months consist of just a single identical thread. Re-running the import results in the following in just a few seconds: www-data@mail:/tmp$ python /usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py hyperkitty_import -l trackjunkies(a)pdc-racing.net /backups/trackjunkies.mbox Importing from mbox file /backups/trackjunkies.mbox to trackjunkies(a)pdc-racing.net Computing thread structure Synchronizing properties with Mailman Warming up cache The full-text search index will be updated every minute. Run the 'manage.py runjob update_index' command to update it now. Any thoughts on how I can re-run the full import to make sure that all the archives are present?

Thank you very much, I got a bit further. The database contained a couple of test lists that I can recreate, so nothing of value. The strange thing was that drop database followed by create database did not yield an empty database in Postgres. I probably forgot a commit somewhere. I got a bit further. The problem with not being an expert on Django is that the configuration of all web frameworks is that is a bit involved. I have no experience of Django outside of this and I just want to get it running in this case. Now I get the following errors in the mailman_web-log, somehow complaining on the url mapping.

Also, can you describe what you mean by "automate this". in MM2.1, if you set the list to moderated and default action to hold posting, you can set a some member to be un-moderated (mod bit off) to automatically allow their posting. In the web interface of MM2.1 there is a checkbox with moderated bit on/off on the member list itself, in the postorius interface for MM3 you have to open each members settings page to access that. For automation, as list owner, upon registering a member (via mass subscription) the possibility to change that ? also the me too/dupe setting for example. Thanks
