The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Thomas Jackowski <address@concealed>]

Hi,

I got serious installation trouble here and I can't find the problem.

My system is a Debian Etch Stable. Sympa version is 5.2.3 provided from 
Debian repos.

So I will post now my hole configuration, maybe there is something I 
don't see. It's driving me mad already:

sympa.conf:

wwsympa.conf:

#default_home   lists

Ok, now the virtual hosts config for apache2. I am using the sudo 
wrapper method:

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerName      lists-test.hadiko.de
       ServerAdmin     root
       DocumentRoot    /srv/www/sympa/

       #Sympa Stuff
#       RedirectMatch ^/$ /sympa/

       <Location /sympa>
               SetHandler fcgid-script
       </Location>

       Alias /static-sympa /srv/sympa/static_content
       ScriptAlias /sympa /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa/wwsympa_sudo_wrapper.pl


       ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

       # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
       # alert, emerg.
       LogLevel debug

       CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
       ServerSignature On
</VirtualHost>

and the rest of apache.conf:
   #fcgid Modul für Sympa (FastCGIDaemon)
#LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
       IPCCommTimeout 120
       MaxProcessCount 2
</IfModule>

My sudoers file:
www-data        ALL=(sympa) NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa/wwsympa.fcgi


Well I hope I didn't forget something.



So now the problem:
I login through the WebInterface as listmaster and I want to create a 
new Mailinglist. After filling out the form I receive following message:
*INTERNAL SERVER ERROR (create_list) -



The sympa.log says following at this time:
[...]

[...]

I have really no clue. I want to mention, it doesn't matter if the 
sympa.pl is started or not, I receive the same error message. So I think 
there must be somewhere a rights problem.
Anybody got ideas?
