"FastCGI server" must have been started.  It provides the socket
which is used by nginx to communicate with wwsympa.fcgi script
(on Apache or lighttpd server is automatically started).

I successfully launced WWSympa with nginx by following steps, ...
however, I had not checked it is fully functional (I usually use
Apache).

- "spawn-fcgi" software must be installed.
  http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/spawn-fcgi/

- Launch FastCGI server:

  # /usr/bin/spawn-fcgi -F 5 -P /var/run/sympa/wwsympa.pid \
  -u sympa -g sympa \
  -s /var/run/sympa/wwsympa.socket -M 0600 -U nginx \
  -- /usr/libexec/sympa/wwsympa.fcgi

  (users/group/paths might be changed according to your configure options.)

- Launch nginx with configuration described above.

Notes:

* use_fast_cgi parameter must be enabled.

* Neither wwsympa-wrapper nor sudo is used.  spawn-fcgi sets
  user/group of FastCGI server.

* By configuration described in Sympa manual, top URL seems to be
  <http://your.host.dom/> regardless to wwsympa_url parameter in
  Sympa config.


Hope this helps.
