The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

install (yeah, I know, upgrade, but I'd like to get this working
first)... but when lists are created using wwsympa.fcgi there are no
aliases created.

And no error either:

The list manager website says the aliases are created. But they are not.

I'm using the qmail/vpopmail/MySQL version of alias_manager.pl but that
shouldn't be the issue, as it works fine from the command line, whether
accessed as root or non-root.

root@theweaa1:/home/sympa/bin# ls -al alias*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sympa sympa  4008 2008-09-05 10:39 alias_manager.pl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sympa sympa  5997 2007-01-21 09:19 alias_manager.pl.old
-rwxr-x--- 1 sympa sympa 22802 2007-01-14 18:33 aliaswrapper

I thought that alias_manager was set to /home/sympa/bin/alias_manager.pl
by default, yet it is clearly not being called. Or at least, not being
called effectively. I've tried adding a specific alias_manager config
setting to both /etc/sympa.conf and /etc/wwsympa.conf - and this hasn't
helped either.

Can anyone advise why my alias_manager.pl script is not being called?

Thank you.
