hi...
i cannot run sympa.. if someone could help me..

I had a similar issue on my SUSE system, and the error message was due to security settings.

My final result was to make sure that wwsympa.fcgi is owned by sympa:sympa, and has the "suid" bit set.  You also need to have "spearl" (which is perl that can run suid) installed. I also had to de-register wwsympa.fcgi from "apparmor", which would cause it to fail, and I couldn't get it to work. I don't remember if I had to set some special settings in the apache configuration though (if I did, it was from the Sympa docs).

For testing, I ran wwsympa.fcgi directly from root. When the response comes back looking right, I was ok to get it working in production.
