The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Hatuka*nezumi - IKEDA Soji <address@concealed>]

Hi Dick,

According to the manual, following configuration will be possible,
although I indivisually haven't managed any systems with it:

$confdir/terena.org/robot.conf:
---------------------------------------------------------------
host terena.org
wwsympa_url https://lists.terena.org/terena.org
http_host lists.terena.org/terena.org
---------------------------------------------------------------

$confdir/redfeds.org/robot.conf:
---------------------------------------------------------------
host redfeds.org
wwsympa_url https://lists.terena.org/redfeds.org
http_host lists.terena.org/redfeds.org
---------------------------------------------------------------

Apache conf:
---------------------------------------------------------------
<Directory /var/www/sympa>
    SetHandler fcgid-script
</Directory>
Alias /static-sympa /var/lib/sympa/static_content
ScriptAlias /terana.org /usr/libexec/sympa/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi
ScriptAlias /redfeds.org /usr/libexec/sympa/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi
---------------------------------------------------------------

Note:
- Probably subdiretory of $confdir/ must be same as host, e-mail
  domain.
- URL path of wwsympa_url, http_host and ScriptAlias must be same,
  but not neccessarily be same as e-mail domain.

Though, as you said, such a configuration is a bit difficult and
redundant.  I wish more easy way, too.


Regards,

--- Soji
