The service mailman appears to be down.

I'm using cPanel with Centos 7. I started receiving this alert since yesterday. I tried to restart the service but it always shows the same error. Is a just migrated server. This is the message:


Service Check Method The system"s command to check or to restart this service failed.

Hi @Pedro Mantilla How did you migrate from the old server to the new? It seems like there is an issue with the mailman db on this server:

Nov 04 11:37:15 srvr.example.com restartsrv_mailman[22225]: Mailman.Errors.MMCorruptListDatabaseError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists/mailman/config.db.last'

HI @Pedro Mantilla Thanks for providing the Ticket ID. I took a look at the ticket and found an analyst has already been able to identify the cause of the issue as well as assist you with resolving it. It appears that as I thought the mailman configuration database had been corrupted. To resolve this for you the analyst moved the old data aside, then recreated it. He also had to move the configuration files to allow for them to be recreated. Once this was completed he was able to restart mailman successfully. Can you let us know if you are still experiencing any issues? Thanks!
