The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Paul Menzel <address@concealed>]

Dear Sympa folks,


upgrading from Debian 7 (wheezy) to 8.3 (jessie), Sympa was upgraded
from 6.1.11~dfsg-5+deb7u2 to 6.1.23~dfsg-2 too, and the Web interface
(WWS) stopped working.

Accessing the Web interface, it says, that Sympa is in maintenance
mode.

Looking at the log file, the message below is in there.

```
wwsympa[15055]: err [robot ] [client 91.51.121.4] Config error: wwsympa 
should run with UID 106 (instead of 33). *** Switching to maintenance mode. 
***
```

The configuration for the FCGI module is below.

```
$ more /etc/apache2/conf-available/sympa.conf
#
# Apache >> 2.4 configuration for Sympa
#

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
    Alias /static-sympa /var/lib/sympa/static_content
    <Directory /var/lib/sympa/static_content>
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ScriptAlias /wws /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi
    <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa>
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</IfModule>
```

The script is also there.

```
$ ls -lh /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 sympa sympa 6.1K Jan 16  2015 
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi
$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi
sympa: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi
$ more apache2/mods-available/fcgid.conf
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
  FcgidConnectTimeout 20

  <IfModule mod_mime.c>
    AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
  </IfModule>
</IfModule>
```

SELinux is in permissive mode.

```
$ /usr/sbin/getenforce
Permissive
```

Unfortunately, I do not see any useful messages from the script. My
understanding is, that the purpose of the wrapper script is to execute
the script as a different user.

It’d be awesome if somebody could tell me the solution for this issue.


Thanks,

Paul
