The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Brian Eliassen <address@concealed>]

Hello everyone,

OS: CentOS 7
DB: MariaDB/MySQL
Sympa: 6.2.12
Perl: 5.16.3
Apache: 2.4.6

So I'm finally able to see sympa responding after getting /usr/local/ 
sympa/bin/wwsympa_sudo_wrapper.pl working properly with all of the  
environment variables being sent properly from sudo.  My current  
problem occurs when I select "First login?" which is the normal  
process to create the listmaster account.  Everything looks great as  
it loads the sympa/firstlogin page and asks for my e-mail address.  I  
enter it and click [Request First Password].

I receive an e-mail with a link like this: http:///sympa/ticket/ 
57391801830077

Obviously the http_host from robot.conf isn't being added but I simply  
appended the ticket information to the proper URL.  No problem.  It  
seems to work and it asks me for my new password.  I enter it twice  
and submit.  I'm then presented a login page with the following error:  
ERROR (Setpasswd) - You need to login

Okay, so I try to login normally thinking my password has been set and  
I just need to login.  Nope.  The login fails and I see two errors:
ERROR () - Provided password is incorrect
ERROR (setpasswd) - You need to login

So how do I login to change my password if I can't login to change my  
password?  I'm caught in an infinite loop.

I connected to MySQL and have confirmed that user_table is empty so  
nothing is being saved:

MariaDB [sympa]> SELECT email_user,gecos_user FROM user_table;
Empty set (0.01 sec)

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm stuck on this one.

Here is my robot.conf file for this connection:

http_host       www.scrapcombatships.com
host            scrapcombatships.com
wwsympa_url     http://www.scrapcombatships.com/sympa

email           sympa

max_size        5242880
static_content_path     /usr/local/sympa/static_content
static_content_url      /static-sympa

Here is the sympa.log file for the entire process above including the  
normal login attempt at the end.

There is one other error that is popping up in my apache logs:
