The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Garuda <address@concealed>]

Hi all,

 Recently I just installed Sympa on CentOS 4 sucessfully after a
number of failure attempts. The problem I experienced before is CPAN
can not install all Perl modules sucessfully. 

I followed a guide written by  Craig  Hancock , MACE-MLIST
(Middleware-Enabled Mailing List Working
Group)(http://middleware.internet2.edu/mlist/sympa_rpm/Fedora%20Sympa%20Install2.htm),
MACE-<LIST also made a RPM package for Sympa
5.1(http://middleware.internet2.edu/mlist/sympa_rpm/sympa-5.1-16.i386.rpm),
it automates some  post-installation configuration procedures such
as setup up sympa   user, create database,etc. Still I need to
modify sympa.conf,   wwsympa.conf and httpd.conf by myself. Ita
lso take some extra time   to solve some permission/ownership
issues to make it acceptably
  functional.

Craig suggested to install all Perl modules from RPM, I used yum and
http://rpm.pbone.net to get all Perl modules RPM packages. It might
take quite a while to install all those modules since there are a
number of dependencies.

I did not install fastcgi and only use wwsympa.fcgi as normail CGI, the
performance is poor, is there any other way to improve rather than use
fastcgi?

Regards

Zhang Qu
