Maybe you can help me. I recently installed (new install) v1.94.1 and it
was working fine (after lots of tweaking) until last night. I ran the
wrapper config-test that Jeff mentioned in his posting and it came out
clean.
Here's my problem.....I'm suddenly getting this error message for every
list I support on Majordomo......
--
MAJORDOMO ABORT (mj_resend)!!
shlock: '/usr/local/majordomo/lists' is not writable by UID 1 GID 1
--
This seems to be telling me that it can't write to the
/usr/local/majordomo/lists directory, but here's the excerpt from
/usr/local/majordomo....
...
drwxrwxr-x 3 majordom 512 May 17 1998 listat/
-rwxrwxr-x 1 majordom 921600 Sep 21 1997 listat_tar*

and from /usr/local/majordomo/lists

-rwxrwxr-x 1 majordom majordomo 9 Dec 31 14:18 mo.passwd*
...
The permissions look right to me. Oh, and I'm also occasionally (but not
always) getting this error message....
--
MAJORDOMO ABORT (mj_majordomo)!!
While running with an effective uid of 1 and an effective gid of 1 12 4 2 1,
Majordomo ran into the following problems:
Unable to write to log file, check permissions on /usr/local/majordomo/Log
Unable to write to list directory $listdir, check permissions on
/usr/local/majordomo/lists
--
I haven't changed anything, so now I'm really confused and my lists are
broken until this can be resolved. I don't know what's going on. Can
anyone help me interpret and fix whatever the issue is?
Thanks.
