1.  Make sure that the history file name is properly configured in your
    config.data

2.  Make sure that you have valid files after you run makehistory.  There
    should be three files.

3.  Make sure you rename the files created by makehistory to be the ones
    that INN will use.

4.  Make sure that the ownership/protection of the history files are correct
    for the "news" user.

5.  Don't compile with -DMMAP.

Steps 2-4 are in the INN FAQ.

Good Luck,
