The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Stephen Jarjoura <address@concealed>]

Your path is different, but here's the FCGI stanza in my Apache config file.

Note, I needed to add the "//localhost" to get it to work.

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

I would also check your selinux settings; we're running with it disabled, but I've seen the security context cause errors like that.

$ sestatus
SELinux status:                 disabled

Good luck!

Hi all,

i’m new to sympa. Tried mailman3 first, but that brings it’s own lmtpd
that collides with dovecot’s lmtpd. And it’s documentation is a bit ...
ok. So i tried sth else.

Sympa seems to fullfill all my needs. It works with apache2, postfix,
and dovecot. Ok, there IS a lot of manual configuration that could be
automaticated, but there is anything anytime. I worked through
documentation. I did not get the systemd configuration for web access
running, so i tried fcgi. And that seems to work. It accesses the
correct page. Only that it does not display it, but throws a 403 without
further hints.

/run/sympa/wwsympa.socket belongs to www-data:www-data. Most other
self-created files are chown sympa:sympa according to doc.

What rtfm-parameter do i need?

TIA
