The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Troy Davis <address@concealed>]

Hello,

Before I get too far, is there an IRC channel that sympa users  
congregate on?

I've been trying to get wwsympa working on a Fedora Core 4 machine.  
Right now I'm getting a 403 error when attempting to access the Web  
interface. The server logs say "(13)Permission denied: access to /  
denied". Sympa is installed and running, here's the config statement  
I used:

./configure \
        --prefix=/usr/local/sympa-stable \
        --with-bindir=/usr/local/sympa-stable/bin \
        --with-sbindir=/usr/local/sympa-stable/sbin \
        --with-libexecdir=/usr/local/sympa-stable/bin \
        --with-cgidir=/usr/local/sympa-stable/bin \
        --with-iconsdir=/usr/local/sympa-stable/icons \
        --with-datadir=/usr/local/sympa-stable/bin/etc \
        --with-expldir=/usr/local/sympa-stable/expl \
        --with-libdir=/usr/local/sympa-stable/bin \
        --with-docdir=/usr/local/sympa-stable/doc \
        --with-piddir=/usr/local/sympa-stable \
        --with-etcdir=/usr/local/sympa-stable/etc \
        --with-localedir=/usr/local/sympa-stable/locale \
        --with-scriptdir=/usr/local/sympa-stable/script \
        --with-sampledir=/usr/local/sympa-stable/sample \
        --with-spooldir=/usr/local/sympa-stable/spool \
        --with-openssl=/usr/bin/openssl \
        --with-user=sympa \
        --with-group=sympa

The server runs sympa as a separate virtualhost, here's the relevant  
portions of httpd.conf (the first virtualhost is a mod_perl app):

PerlSwitches -I/var/www/myapp/lib
PerlModule myapp
PerlSetEnv HOSTNAME myapp.company.com
<VirtualHost *:80>
        # PerlModule Apache2::Reload
        # PerlInitHandler Apache2::Reload
        ServerName myapp.company.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/myapp/root
        SetEnv HOSTNAME myapp.company.com
        <Location />
                SetHandler modperl
                PerlResponseHandler myapp
        </Location>
</VirtualHost>

#FastCgiWrapper /usr/sbin/suexec
#FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fastcgi
#FastCgiServer /usr/local/sympa-stable/bin/wwsympa.fcgi -processes 3 - 
idle-timeout 120

<VirtualHost *:80>
        LogLevel debug
        SuexecUserGroup sympa sympa
        ServerName sympa.company.com
        DocumentRoot /usr/local/sympa-stable/bin
        AddHandler fastcgi-script fcgi
        Alias /static-sympa /usr/local/sympa-stable/static_content
        ScriptAlias / /usr/local/sympa-stable/bin/wwsympa.fcgi
        <Directory /usr/local/sympa-stable/bin>
                Options +ExecCGI
        </Directory>
        <Location />
                AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
        </Location>
</VirtualHost>

User and Group are set to apache near the top of httpd.conf, of course.

I'm puzzled as to what I should do to get this working. Should I  
change ownership / permissions on sympa's files? I'd like to avoid  
running another instance of apache if possible, that sounds messy.  
Apache2 doesn't allow the use of the User or Group directives in  
VirtualHosts, so I'm not sure what to do.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
Troy
