The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

If I remember correctly, this appears when the permissions on files are incorrect.  Check the ownerships and permissions (and setuid perms where required) of files.

 

In particular, I think /usr/sbin/aliaswrapper needs to be root setuid for things to work, the wwsympa-wrapper.cfgi setuid/gid sympa, the /var/lib/sympa ownerships, and so on.

Subject: [sympa-users] Mailing list in maintenance mode...? Help!

 

I just upgraded from 5.3.4 to 6.1.17.

Unfortunately, restarting led to the message

The mailing list server is in maintenance mode, no operation can be performed during this period.

The processes (specifically the wwsympa.fcgi process) is owned by sympa user

How can I fix the error?

Thanks for any help!
