Hi Olivier,

>What is your system ?
[SC] Solaris 8

>Did you try running sympa.pl ? Then ?
[SC]I started the whole installation process again on a 'clean' server.
    This time when i start sympa.pl, i get this message:
       " Usage: Sys::Syslog::_PATH_LOG() at .............."

    I used the solution recommended where i changed line 277 in Syslog.pm to
          my $syslog = &_PATH_LOG() || croak "_PATH_LOG not found in
syslog.ph";

     After i made the change, i get a new error message:
    "Your vendor has not defined the Sys::Syslog macro _PATH_LOG at
/opt/lib/perl5/5.
    6.0/sun4-solaris/Sys/Syslog.pm line 277, <CONF> line 275."

    Any idea how to overcome this?

>Did you restart your syslog daemon after changing its config ?
[SC] yes

>Did you try running WWSympa from the command line ?
{SC] Yes, and it was SCARY.....it just kept looping and printing out the
html code. I couldn't even stop it using ctr-C. I have to kill the process
explicitly.
