Given that you are a self-admitted beginner, in your place I would not 
be trying to depart from established configurations.  I have approaching 
40 years of experience and I found that I could not make it work 
correctly WITHOUT a FastCGI tool (I actually chose spawn-fcgi over 
FastCGI because it worked better and was easier to get a working 
configuration).

These are the sections I found to work in Apache 2.4:

  <IfDefine SYMPA>
     ScriptAlias /sympa /usr/libexec/sympa/wwsympa.fcgi
     Alias /static-sympa /var/spool/sympa/static_content

     <Location /sympa>
        SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/sympa/wwsympa.socket|fcgi://"
        Options +ExecCGI
        Require all granted
     </Location>

     <Location /static-sympa>
        Require all granted
     </Location>
  </IfDefine>


with the sympa URL set in /etc/sympa/sympa.conf as:

wwsympa_url         https://www.caerllewys.net/sympa


and the following directives in /etc/conf.d/spawn-fcgi-sympa:

FCGI_SOCKET=/var/run/sympa/wwsympa.socket
FCGI_PROGRAM=/usr/libexec/sympa/wwsympa.fcgi
FCGI_CHILDREN=1
FCGI_USER=sympa
FCGI_GROUP=sympa
FCGI_EXTRA_OPTIONS='-s /var/run/sympa/wwsympa.socket -M 0600 -U apache'


Disclaimer:  You are not running Gentoo Linux.  THE LOCATIONS FOR SOME 
OF THESE CONFIGURATION ITEMS WILL PROBABLY VARY.  Don't take them as gospel.
