The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Alban Rodriguez <address@concealed>]

Hi!

Just to let you know in case anybody has the same issue: what happened to us is WWSympa stopped working this morning without any modification applied whatsoever.

On the client side I got a «  Bad request » error.

Looking at the Apache error log, the error was: «  error parsing URL //: Invalid host/port ».

We are using a mod_proxy_fcgi + spawn-fcgi config.

I quickly found the issue was Apache handling the request to Sympa but I couldn’t find why and what had changed since a few days ago !

Googling around did not help.

But I remember reading Matthew message on the mailing list.

Bingo!

What happened is our server is running Ubuntu Linux with unattended upgrades enabled.

And sure enough, this is what I found in /var/log/unattended-ugrades/unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log this morning:

Log started: 2024-07-10  06:22:36

(Reading database ... 127332 files and directories currently installed.)

Unpacking apache2 (2.4.41-4ubuntu3.19) over (2.4.41-4ubuntu3.17) …

Etc …

Because of this, I had to apply the change Matthew had submitted to make WWSympa work again.

Hey,

On the page :: https://www.sympa.community/manual/install/configure-http-server-proxy.html

 SetHandler "proxy:unix:$PIDDIR/wwsympa.socket|fcgi://"

should probably get changed to

 SetHandler "proxy:unix:$PIDDIR/wwsympa.socket|fcgi://localhost"

a change I had to make to get with work with apache 2.4.60, also works with 2.4.59

Thanks,

Matt
