Hello,

I followed the installation guidelines on the website and now having trouble
getting Sympa to run. First of all, the "--chuid" option isn't being
recognized at Sympa startup. If I remove this option, it seems to start OK.
The boilerplate /etc/init.d/sympa at
http://www.open-organizations.org/twiki/pub/Socialtools/StandardSympa/sympa
specifies this option, which Sympa itself refuses. So right now I'm starting
it as root without --chuid option. Another complication is that I do not
want to create a virtual host, rather run Sympa interface as the main Apache
instance. Right now Apache is configured to invoke wwsympa.fcgi from
http://<hostname>/wws

When Sympa starts up, I immediately start seeing the following in
/var/log/httpd/error_log:

[Fri Jul 30 14:02:56 2004] [warn] FastCGI: server
"/home/sympa/bin/wwsympa.fcgi" started (pid 30483)
Can't do setuid
[Fri Jul 30 14:02:56 2004] [warn] FastCGI: server
"/home/sympa/bin/wwsympa.fcgi" (pid 30483) terminated by calling exit with
status '255'
Can't do setuid
[Fri Jul 30 14:02:57 2004] [warn] FastCGI: server
"/home/sympa/bin/wwsympa.fcgi" started (pid 30486)
[Fri Jul 30 14:02:57 2004] [warn] FastCGI: server
"/home/sympa/bin/wwsympa.fcgi" (pid 30486) terminated by calling exit with
status '255'

When I access http://<hostname>/wws, I get this from Apache errorlog:

[Fri Jul 30 14:03:20 2004] [notice] child pid 30478 exit signal Segmentation
fault (11)

/var/log/sympa says this:

Jul 30 14:03:06 linuxclient task_manager[30421]: purge_orphan_bounces()
Jul 30 14:03:06 linuxclient task_manager[30421]: error while loading list of
listes with function get_lists
Jul 30 14:03:06 linuxclient task_manager[30421]: Error while processing task,
removing /home/sympa/spool/task/1091210526..purge_orphan_bounces._global

Another thing to note is that I don't get any error messages from Sympa on
startup, only when I attempt to access the URL.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
