OK, so wwsympa is running, but it's creating its pid file and socket in
the wrong location.

It may also be running as the wrong user.  Does your apache run as
www-data or as apache?

Try making these changes to your wwsympa.service file:

FCGI_PID_DIR=/run/sympa
FCGI_OPTS='-s /run/sympa/wwsympa.socket -M 0600 -U apache'

(That's assuming your apache is running as user apache, which I assume
it MOST LIKELY is.  But if it's running as www-data, then leave that
part unchanged.)


I think you will then have to do something like a systemctl reload, to
make systemd re-read the service file, then systemctl restart wwsympa.

/etc/sysconfig/sympa doesn't necessarily exist.  I don't have one.


Disclaimer:  I do not use systemd and won't touch it with a ten-foot pole.
