Oh yeah, I remember hitting that when I was setting up.  But I at
least got a "topics.conf not found" message in my log.  You can, by the
way, place it in /home/sympa/etc, which is really where your local
customizations are supposed to go, rather than /home/sympa/bin/etc.
Sympa only looks in the bin/etc directory, for distribution versions,
if it can't find something in etc.

Ahhhh.  Web server is not recognizing it as a script, so is not piping
output back to the browser.  I see you have a ScriptAlias line, but
I think it might need to come before the SetHandler and FastCgiServer
entries.  The order in my httpd.conf is:

        ScriptAlias /lists /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa.fcgi

        <Location /lists>
           SetHandler fastcgi-script
        </Location>

        FastCgiWrapper /home/www/bin/suexec
        FastCgiServer /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa.fcgi -processes 2 -idle-timeout 
90

There should be a detailed doc on configuring with Apache.  I was going
to write one up, but I seem never to have gotten around to it...  Also,
I imagine you've discovered by now that you need to un-setuid the wwsympa
script in order for suexec to run it, yes?  That should be in the doc too.
