The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

OK, So:

1- did  you run sympa.pl --upgrade? I'm asking just because the logs are suggesting this course of action.
2- Here are the rights you are supposed to have:

# ls -al bin/wwsympa*.fcgi
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root  root  614858 jui  9 14:46 bin/wwsympa.fcgi
-rwsr-sr-x 1 sympa sympa   8360 jui  9 14:46 bin/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi

# ls -al etc/data_structure.version
-rw-r----- 1 sympa sympa 138 jun 14 11:31 etc/data_structure.version

Check particularly that the wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi file has the S bit. A lot of operations (moving, changing ownership) lead the the removal of this bit.

Regards,

David

Sorry, David, I must be too easily confused. In my config for the site I
have:

ScriptAlias /lists /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi

So I thought I had done this. But it gives the error I reported earlier.

Hi Nick,

That's also something new that actually appeared in Symap 5.4: we no
longer use suexec

Please have a look at this part of the doc which explains everything
about the web server configuration:
https://www.sympa.org/manual/web-interface#installing_wwsympafcgi_in_your_apache_server

To sum things up, we explain that, basically, you should replace, in
your web server config, the former usages of wwsympa.fcgi by
wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi (and sympa_soap_server.fcgi by
sympa_soap_server-wrapper.fcgi).

That sould do.

Cheers,

David

Hi all,

One final problem I think for my upgrade to 6.0.5: wwsympa fails with 

Jul 12 09:58:50 theweaa1 wwsympa[10978]:
Upgrade::data_structure_uptodate() Unable to
open /home/sympa/etc/data_structure.version : Permission denied

It appears that suexec is not functioning properly.

The sympa documentation refers to 'User' and 'Group' directives, but
these are not available in apache2. In debian I have installed
apache2-suexec-custom, enabled suexec module and defined SuexecUserGroup
in the virtual host site definition, but still it does not work, even
after a full restart.

What am I missing, please?

Thanks.

Nick
