- Is there 'FastCgiServer' setting line in httpd.conf like this?:
FastCgiServer /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa.fcgi -processes 2

- Can you show me some typical lines in error messages?

- Did you check wwsympa.fcgi's permissions? ( 'chmod 6755
  wwsympa.fcgi' maybe works.)

- Are there fastcgi server processes in memory? ( 'ps aux |grep wwsympa'
  shows them.)

- Are there any lines in wwsympa syslog messages? (It can separate
  problems area into 'before' or 'after' executing wwsympa.fcgi.)

- How about wwsympa's syslog messages? (Some error messages?)
