      Check permissions on the directories, especially on list_data.
      
      Current Sympa needs write permissions on $EXPLDIR and $SPOOLDIR
      directories.
      
      
      More information should be available in the Sympa logs.

Thanks Racke! The log gave us light: Actually sympa wasn't running as we thought: we had a syntax error at sympa.conf

After correcting the abovementioner error, we get another complain, now about a cookie:

Aug 13 10:04:59 llistes sympa_msg[3911]: info main::_load() Configuration file read, default log level 0
Aug 13 10:04:59 llistes sympa_msg[3911]: err main::#90 > main::_load#313 DIED: sympa.conf/cookie parameter has changed. You may have severe inconsitencies into password storage. Restore previous cookie or write some tool to re-encrypt password in database and check spools contents (look at /home/fundacio/etc/cookies.history file). at /usr/lib/sympa/bin/sympa_msg.pl line 313.

How I can reset this cookie that got corrupted?
We can restart easily restart the move/upgrade from scratch if necessary.
