Re: subscribe for psycopg list hangs

Hi,
I just tried to register for the psycopg mailing list at:
http://mail.postgresql.org/mj/mj_wwwusr/domain=postgresql.org?func=lists-long-full&extra=psycopg

I entered name + email, clicked "subscribe", and the page hung for
about 5 minutes, then gave a "500 Internal Server Error". Right after
the error page loaded, I got the subscription email in my Inbox. I
just clicked the confirmation link in the email, which looked like:
http://mail.postgresql.org/mj/mj_confirm/domain=postgresql.org?t=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

and clicked "accept" on that page, and it has been hanging for a few
minutes now as well.

I had this problem a week or three ago when I was trying to retrieve
my mailing list password. I think Majordomo or whatever it is we're
using is busted.

Hi,

Actually although the web stops working, but the mails work as expected.

I tried subscribing to almost all lists yesterday
(Hackers/SQL/Perform/WWW/General/Docs/Php and PgAdmin-Hackers) and all
mails (invite / welcome / mailing-list) mails work as expected.

However, rightly as pointed, the web page bombs exactly as in the mail
below.

Oh well, seems to be working again now at least. I hope someone can
share what broke, and why it stayed broken for so long.

Pretty sure nobody can. It's basically a big black box at this point.
But work is underway to untangle the different parts from each other,
to make it possible to debug issues like this properly in the future.
So far the web interface hasn't received any of that love, but it's on
the list of things that will happen.

Apparently the machine hosting this was rebooted three days ago, which
might explain why it's no longer "stuck". As to why it failed, I have
no idea.
