The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[VTR <address@concealed>]

Thanks Phil. I installed spawn-fcgi and can now see the Apache test page on the top level of my webpage. But adding /sympa to the address, I get Forbidden, you don’t have permission to access this resource.

This is my wwsympa.service file:

$ cat wwsympa.service

[Unit]

Description=Sympa web interface FastCGI backend

After=sympa.service

Requires=wwsympa.socket

[Service]

User=sympa

Group=sympa

ExecStart=/usr/bin/multiwatch \

          -f $WWS_FCGI_CHILDREN -- \

          /usr/libexec/sympa/wwsympa.fcgi

StandardOutput=null

StandardInput=socket

StandardError=journal

Environment="WWS_FCGI_CHILDREN=5"

EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/sympa

EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/sympa

Restart=always

RestartSec=5

[Install]

Also=wwsympa.socket

WantedBy=multi-user.target

And this is my wwsympa.socket file:

$ cat wwsympa.socket

[Unit]

Description=Sympa web interface socket

[Socket]

SocketUser=nobody

SocketMode=0600

ListenStream=/run/sympa/wwsympa.socket

[Install]

WantedBy=sockets.target

I’m supposed to add FCGI_OPTS="-M 0600 -U www-data” somewhere but not sure which file?

I installed sympa-httpd and set up as a single domain setting.
I did not install FastCGI because I’m not sure if I need to (based on my earlier post).
But I am running into these errors:
[Fri May 26 17:58:41.821055 2023] [authz_core:error] [pid 9710] [client x.x.x.x] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /var/www/html/sympa

I checked the path for /var/www/html/sympa, and it doesn’t exist.
Seems like my Apache httpd config is half-baked.
Suggestions?

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.
