Hello everybody,

i've installed Sympa 6.0.3 from source and configure my apache 2 server using 
the default behaviour with the C wrapper as mentionned in the documentation.

I've enabled mod_fcgid in apache, restarted it. Here is the sympa 
configuration for apache :

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
</IfModule>

Alias /static-sympa /home/sympa/static_content
ScriptAlias /sympa /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi

I start sympa and connect to it using my browser to find Sympa in maintenance 
mode : "The mailing list server is in maintenance mode, no operations can be 
performed during this period."

The sympa log file shows : 
"Config error: wwsympa should run with UID 1001 (instead of 33). *** Switching 
to maintenance mode. ***

User with UID 1001 is www-data. Indeed, here is the output of ps faux sympa :

www-data  6322 30.3  1.7 211384 71984 ?        S    18:57   0:00  |   \_ 
/usr/bin/perl -U /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa.fcgi

I don't understand why wwsympa.fcgi is run instead of the wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi 
found in apache configuration for sympa. If i stop sympa and apache, this 
process vanishes. If i start them again without going on sympa webpage, 
nothing change. If i get the main page, the wwsympa.fcgi is run not wwsympa-
wrapper.

Any hints ?
  

Yes. ;)

The wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi does nothing else than launching the wwysmpa.fcgi script with the right uid. Then it is normal that the latter is the the process you see running.

Please check that the wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi script has the "s" bit and does belong to the Sympa user.

The command
# ls -al /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi

Should give the output:

-rwsr-sr-x 1 sympa sympa 8360 jun  9 11:54 /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi

Regards,

David
