Ray,

You could be running into some of the other issues I ran in to when getting sympa 6.2b.9 running. I had to build with some specific directory locations, and I fixed two small perl bugs. All of these things had to be correct in order for my sympa service to start.

Here are my build configure options (NOTE: these settings are specific to Ubuntu 14 and probably won't work on CentOS or other distros):

    ./configure --without-smrshdir --with-initdir=/etc/init.d --with-lockdir=/run/lock

If you build on your system, be sure to use the right locations for your system (you'll have to figure that out on your own). You may have to move other directory locations, too; I just can't be sure without looking at your system.

Also, there are two perl modules specific to 6.2b.9 that caused errors for me. I fixed them and have attached the two files for you (hopefully attachments come through). Copy them to the library locations.

They are:

     /home/sympa/bin/Conf.pm
     /home/sympa/bin/Sympa/Tools/Text.pm

Make sure both files are chown sympa:sympa (or whatever user you chose).

I put in bug reports on both of the files above, so the next beta release should fix these. So, again, these are very specific to 6.2b.9, and this is my fix and not the author's fix, meaning I can't vouch for the accuracy of the fix on other systems...but it should work ;)

Tim

Hello,

 

I attempted the fix recommended by Tim earlier in this thread and the problem still exists.  Is there anything else I could try?

 

Thanks

Nope, I didn’t see that, I read the readme’s that came in the distribution. Oh well, I got it going and it has been working for me since this weekend.

 

+1 for the new wwwsympa portal!

Hi Tim,

Did you you follow the upgrade instructions I wrote here: https://www.sympa.org/faq/upgrade-to-v6.2

It specifies explicitely to run sympa.pl --upgrade_config_location before sympa.pl --upgrade.

If you did and still had the problem, then it's a bug.

Regards,

David

I figured it out. The config file sympa.conf moved from /etc/sympa.conf to /etc/sympa/sympa.conf. After that (and a bug fix you saw in another email), I was able to get the upgrade going.

Anyone run into this problem when running sympa.pl --upgrade?

 

sympa@ip-10-171-1-49:~/bin$ ./sympa.pl --upgrade
Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at /home/sympa/bin/Conf.pm line 205.

 

If not I’ll put in a ticket on it.

 

I’m having the worst time with sympa The stable release hasn’t been stable, so I’m trying the beta but failed to upgrade at the final step.
