The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[samer khalil <address@concealed>]

thank you steve for the hint,

I traced the error through the command line and had to alter between  /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1/mhamain.pl

and /usr/share/mhonarc/mhamain.pl  in /usr/bin/mhonarc

and in /usr/share/mhonarc/mhamain.pl use mhopt.pl from /usr/share/mhonarc/ rather than the one from perl.

I'm not sure how it will affect future upgrades but it's working now..

thank you,

Sam

I changed the permissions under/ var/lib/sympa/arc to 775 and I'm still getting this error. It looks like a permission issue but how to fix it?

www-data is in sympa group and vis-versa

The error log indicates that the problem is when trying to call the mhonarc tool. Possibly this is not installed correctly or a dependency is missing?

You could try running this command from the commandline (as the sympa user) as it is the one returning the 255 error code

 /usr/bin/mhonarc -add -addressmodifycode 1 -rcfile /usr/share/sympa/default/mhonarc-ressources.tt2 -outdir /var/lib/sympa/arc/address@concealed/2020-06 -definevars listname='sk-test2' hostname=aub.edu.lb yyyy=2020 mois=06 yyyymm=2020-06 wdir=/var/lib/sympa/arc base=https://sympa.aub.edu.lb/sympa/arctag=861a73d091 with_tslice=1 with_powered_by=1 -umask 027

... and see if you are given a clearer error message indicating the root cause.  Check for messages about missing libraries etc.

Check to make sure that mhonarc is installed into /usr/bin - maybe you installed into /usr/local/bin or somewhere else; if so, create a softlink from /usr/bin/mhonarc
