The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Hanke Penning" <address@concealed>]

Hello, everybody out there!

I'm new to the Sympa-webinterface - but now everything is
running smoothly with 3.3.4b3...

But! Beware - there is one more problem, I did not understand.
I'm running Sympa on two servers - now both with wwsympa. The
problem is a little different on the two systems. Let me explain.

1) configured with
--with-user=sympa \
--with-group=sympa \
--with-sendmail_aliases=/etc/aliases_sympa
--with-newaliases=\usr\bin\newaliases

The wwsympa.conf contains:
alias_manager /home/sympa/bin/alias_manager.pl

When calling on commandline:
/home/sympa/bin/alias_manager.pl add <listname> <host>
everything runs smooth.
The aliases are added, the newaliases is excuted - everything
ok. 
But it doesn't work form wwsympa! 
From the log I receive the following information:
"no such file or directory!"


2) configured with
--with-user=sympa \
--with-group=sympa \
--with-sendmail_aliases=/etc/aliases_sympa
--with-newaliases=\usr\bin\newaliases

The wwsympa.conf contains:
alias_manager /home/sympa/bin/alias_manager.pl

When calling on commandline:
/home/sympa/bin/alias_manager.pl add <listname> <host>

Exec of /usr/bin/newaliases failed!: Bad address

In addition it doesn't work form the webinterface... :-))
Would become hard to believe.


After moving (!) the aliaswrapper from server1 to server2 
and replacing the one on server2:
It is now exactly the same behavior as on server1.

Perhaps someone can explain it to me, why it won't work.
OK - I can edit the alias-file by hand, as I did it before 
using wwsympa, but now (!) I would like to use the 
"full featured mode" (hmm, the webarchiving still missing).
;-)

Here are some additional infos:
- Sympa 3.3.4b3
- Apache 1.3.20 without fastcgi
- aliaswrapper is 
        -rws-r-x--- root.sympa

Yours sincerly

Hanke Penning
