Hi,

running freebsd 14.4.
I'm on 15.1-RELEASE.

after upgrading to sympa-6.2.78 Ican't access the web-Interface.

httpd-error.log ist showing:
[Tue Aug 25 19:11:22.451023 2026] [proxy:error] [pid 48237]
(61)Connection refused: AH02454: FCGI: attempt to connect to Unix

the socket is in place and owned by www:www, which should be okay.

I didn't touch the sympa-configuration or chacnged the
apache-configuration.
spawn-fcgi failed to start, because it was missing a module:

I didn't find a freebsd-package with SimpleUnzip.pm, so I've installed
it using cpan.
Same. There is no port port/pkg for p5-SimpleUnzip. Huge bummer.

I also had to use CPAN which is terribly nasty mixing with FBSD ports/pkgs. But, it is what it is (and it is not great!)

# cpan[derp] install Archive::Zip::SimpleUnzip

Up and running again, though the interface ist still english only. But
this seems to be an always reported topic.
Alas, also back up and running. Don't forget to update the mailing list from maintenance mode.

Regards,
Janky Jay
