The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Liam Kirsher <address@concealed>]

Thanks, Steve.
I had to work around an suexec issue.  Instead of recompiling apache with modified suexec dir I did the following --
(/var/www is the default apache root dir)

mkdir /var/www/__sympa__

cat << EOD > /var/www/__sympa__/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi
#!/bin/bash
# Path to real wwsympa.fcgi
exec /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi
EOD

chown -R sympa:sympa /var/www/__sympa__

And in httpd.conf:

# Fast CGI for Sympa
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
    SuexecUserGroup sympa sympa
    IPCCommTimeout 120
    MaxProcessCount 2
</IfModule>

<Location /sympa>
    SetHandler fcgid-script
</Location>

ScriptAlias /sympa /var/www/__sympa__/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi
ScriptAlias /wws /var/www/__sympa__/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi

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!
