The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Robert McNicholas <address@concealed>]

Hi,

We were running 6.2.14 (on Red Hat 7, compiled from source) here for a 
couple years, but kept running into the bug that caused owner/moderator 
updates to not take effect immediately. This seemed to be fixed in 
6.2.18 according to a note I read.  After reading through the Changelog, 
I decided to make this minor upgrade rather than the more substantial 
changes that would be needed to go to the current stable version.

As the release notes mention was a possibility, I had trouble with the 
web interface after the upgrade - users can login once but navigating to 
any other page asks for login again, and this is logged:

> Jun  6 08:55:17 myserver.mydomain wwsympa[7717]: info main::check_param_in() 
> [robot _____myserver___] [session 94651992869038] [client xx.xx.xx] Unknown 
> list style.css

> _____myserver___] [session 94651992869038] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] Wrong 
> parameters

My web browser logs:

> The stylesheet 
> https://myserver.mydomain/sympa/css/style.css?h=492a0ad1252139fc851218c2d10f7534
>  was not loaded because its MIME type, “text/html”, is not “text/css”.

I've been looking at this for hours and my users are starting to get 
antsy for their web interface....can anyone point me in the right 
direction on how to recover?

I tried restoring ~sympa/default/web_tt2 from the previous version, but 
no dice. I put the 6.2.18 default/web_tt2 back, and then tried removing 
my customized templates (just 2 files) from ~sympa/etc/<robot>/web_tt2. 
Still no joy.

Can anyone give me some details on how they recovered from this problem?

Many thanks in advance for any help!
