The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

Your CGI seem to be under /var/www/html/_sympa_ (an unusual place?) and they can be accessed because you have a <Directory> setting grating access.

 

Your static content and icons are under /home/sympa/static_content and you have not created a <Directory> section to grant access to these (I am guessing that your default access rights are  ‘no access’ apart from the wwwroot)

 

Try adding this to the site config:

 

        <Directory "/home/sympa/static_content">

                AllowOverride None

                Order allow,deny

                Allow from all

        </Directory>

 

This will likely fix it all, provided the /home/sympa/static_content path is read/exec for the apache user.

Subject: [sympa-users] Web server setup question

 

Some background, I have Sympa 6.1.17 setup and working on Ubuntu 12.04 using the binary package, but I ran into issue with the package that will make upgrading difficult at best.

 

I decided to move to a new source install using Ubuntu 14.04 and Sympa 6.1.20.  I have Sympa setup and working, but I’m having issue with WWSympa.  Http://address.centre.edu/wws loads but it can’t access the static content.  All of the CSS and Icons files are 403 forbidden.  I’m sure it has something to do with Apache and the fact that those files are outside of the document root, but nothing I’ve tried has fixed the issue.

 

Here are the pertenatne parts of my site config:

 

<VirtualHost *:80>

        SuexecUserGroup sympa sympa

 

        <Directory "/var/www/html/_sympa_/">

                AllowOverride None

                Options ExecCGI

                Order allow,deny

                Allow from all

        </Directory>

 

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

 

        Alias /wwsicons /home/sympa/static_content/icons

        ScriptAlias /wws /var/www/html/_sympa_/wwsympa.fcgi

        Alias /static-sympa /home/sympa/static_content

 

Thanks!
