== 5.5. "Site list is missing: mailman" error after upgrade ==

After upgrading from 2.1b3 to 2.1.2, Mailman refused to restart. I used the previously valid startup command:

{{{
   /usr/bin/python2 /home/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s -q start
}}}

but received the error

{{{
   Site list is missing: mailman
}}}

This version of mailman requires a "site wide" list. Instructions for this are included in [[http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/node40.html|section 8 of the installation manual]].

See also [[../4.25 What is the purpose of the site-wide mailing list?|4.25 What is the purpose of the site-wide mailing list?]]
