The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Marco Gaiarin <address@concealed>]

I've moved my sympa installation fron debian squeeze (6.0.1+dfsg-4+squeeze2)
to debian wheezy (6.1.11~dfsg-5+deb7u1), moving also to a new server.

I've first installed sympa on the new server, then stopped it, restore db,
files and configuration and then i've run the upgrade process.
All went well.

But i receive ever day a warning like:

        Dec  3 06:53:15 armitage sympa[17171]: err tools::cookie_changed() 
Unable to create /etc/sympa/cookies.history

there's no /etc/sympa/cookies.history file, so i've simply tried to create
it empty:

        touch /etc/sympa/cookies.history
        chown sympa.sympa /etc/sympa/cookies.history
        chmod 640 /etc/sympa/cookies.history

but now, sympa refuse to start:

        Dec  2 06:39:45 armitage sympa[10992]: sympa.conf/cookie parameter 
has changed. You may have severe inconsitencies into password storage. 
Restore previous cookie or write some tool to re-encrypt password in database 
and check spools contents (look at /etc/sympa/cookies.history file)


How can i fix this? Thanks.
