create a second nnml server

create a second nnml server

[Harry Putnam]

I remember there being directions to create the second server in Info.

But now I just find the virtual cache server... however it appears to
be the same procedure.

So in server buffer I've put this:

(nnml "nnml2"
      (nnml-directory "/cvsb/reader/home/reader/nnml2/")
      (nnml-active-file "cvsb/reader/home/reader/nnml2/active"))

And then copied an existing Mail/NEW directory with 25 messages to: 
/cvsb/reader/home/reader/nnml2/NEW

I've tried creating an active file like:
cvsb/reader/home/reader/nnml2/active
New 25 1 y

And I've tried to subscribe to the NEW group by pressing <ENTER> on
nnml2 in server buffer, but with or without the active file... there
are no groups to subscribe to.

What am I leaving out or doing wrong?

Never... mind about getting it working.. I discovered my error.  Gnus
was looking for the address /cvsb/[...]  at ~/cvsb.

So I just created that symlink and all is working.

Perhaps because you forgot the leading / in nnml-active-file:

Maybe copying the messages using Gnus would have been even easier?

(That way you don't have to worry about what files to edit etc.)


  Just a thought :-),

gack.. yes indeed... probably don't need that symlink after all.

So, you are saying there is a way to create the group, active file and
all by copying through gnus?

Maybe it failed here because of the missing '/' Dave pointed out.
As I recall I did try something like that first but it never appeared
as group under that server.

But also consider that I expect to create directories full of
news/mail like files thru external searches or other means.  Then its
easier to just move the created directory into the nnml2 server area and
add it to the active file.  Otherwise I'd have to create a nndoc group
of the directory and then copy the files to server
nnml+nnml2:whatever.

Sorry, folks, someone started feeding ancient traffic back to the list
and I approved a couple of the messages before I noticed what was
happening.

That was me... very sorry... I was trying to resend a specific message
and thought I'd get a chance to change the Message-Id.   

Somehow I managed to get a pile of messages process-marked before
hand.

I'm not sure how I managed it even now but definitely was not an
attempt to disrupt.
