The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Liam Kirsher <address@concealed>]

I just upgraded from 5.3.4 to 6.1.17.

Unfortunately, restarting led to the message

The mailing list server is in maintenance mode, no operation can be performed during this period.

The processes (specifically the wwsympa.fcgi process) is owned by sympa user

How can I fix the error?

Thanks for any help!
