The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Joe Meslovich <address@concealed>]

I ran into this exact same issue on her Rocky Linux 9 based Sympa server.  I found a bug on their GitHub referencing a similar httpd update to Ubuntu breaking in the same way.  The fix was to change the SetHandler variable in /etc/httpd/conf.d/sympa.conf.

Old value:

SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/sympa/wwsympa.socket|fcgi://"

New value:

SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/sympa/wwsympa.socket|fcgi://localhost"


It was referenced in this Sympa bug:

Subject: [en@sympa] httpd update on RHEL 8 broke Sympa web interface

 

You don't often get email from address@concealed. Learn why this is important

After monthly patching of our RHEL 8 Sympa Dev server, we could no longer reach the web interface – a 400 error was thrown. Our sysadmin determined it didn’t like the httpd version applied and rolled it back to make the web interface functional.

 

Is this something you have encountered? We are on Sympa 6.2.72 – is there a later version that will work, or some config on the current version to tweak?

 

Working httpd version:

httpd-2.4.37-64.module+el8.10.0+21332+dfb1b40e.x86_64

httpd-tools-2.4.37-64.module+el8.10.0+21332+dfb1b40e.x86_64

httpd-filesystem-2.4.37-64.module+el8.10.0+21332+dfb1b40e.noarch

mod_ssl-2.4.37-64.module+el8.10.0+21332+dfb1b40e.x86_64

 

 

 

New version of httpd that didn’t work:

httpd-filesystem-2.4.37-65.module+el8.10.0+22069+b47f5c72.1.noarch

httpd-tools-2.4.37-65.module+el8.10.0+22069+b47f5c72.1.x86_64

httpd-2.4.37-65.module+el8.10.0+22069+b47f5c72.1.x86_64

mod_ssl-2.4.37-65.module+el8.10.0+22069+b47f5c72.1.x86_64

 

Thanks
