Guillaume,

 

My Apache2 error log: (restarted a few times yesterday).

------------------------------

 

If only there was an error message that showed me what is wrong, at least I would know where to look.

 

Here is sympa.conf:

------------------------------

/etc/apache2/sites-available# more sympa.conf

<Location /sympa>

 Require all granted

 SetHandler fastcgi-script

</Location>

 

<Directory "/home/sympa/static_content">

  Require all granted

</Directory>

 

Alias /static-sympa /home/sympa/static_content 

ScriptAlias /sympa /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi

 

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>

  AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi

</IfModule>

 

Meanwhile, I have used your working sympa.conf file and adapted the pathnames, same result: “Mailing list server is in maitenenace mode...”

This is how the file is now:

 

------------------------------

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>

    IPCCommTimeout 300

    # You wish to increase the value in following line, don't you?

    MaxProcessCount 5

    MaxRequestLen 131072

 

    # Don't forget to edit this section!

    <Location /sympa>

                SetHandler fcgid-script

                Require all granted

    </Location>

#    ScriptAlias /sympa /usr/libexec/sympa/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi

    ScriptAlias /sympa /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi

 

#    # You may uncomment following lines to enable SympaSOAP feature.

#    <Location /sympasoap>

#              SetHandler fcgid-script

#

#              # Don't forget to edit lines below!

#              Order deny,allow

#              Deny from all

#              #Allow from all

#    </Location>

#    ScriptAlias /sympasoap /usr/libexec/sympa/sympa_soap_server-wrapper.fcgi

</IfModule>

 

## Other static contents

#Alias /static-sympa /var/lib/sympa/static_content

Alias /static-sympa /home/sympa/static_content

    <Location /static-sympa>

                Require all granted

    </Location>

 

## If your host is dedicated to Sympa:

#RewriteEngine on

#RewriteRule ^/?$ /sympa [R=301]

------------------------------

 

Restarted Apache2: site is still in maintenance mode.

 

Think it will be faster to install everything on a new server?

 

Thanks for your help, enjoy the end of year festivities!

Mark

Hello Mark,

 

First, as of migrating from apache 2.2 to apache 2.4, here's a diff for the sympa.conf apache config file.

I made it recently on a new install on a CentOS 7 host (rpm sympa-6.2.13-1.20160219.RHEL7.x86_64 seems to include an apache 2.2 config file) :

Basically you just need to update the syntax "order/deny/allow" to the new directive "require".

Attached is the whole file I'm using with success now.

 

Next, what does say your httpd error_log ?

 

Thanks and best wishes to you and the list as well :-)

Guillaume,

 

I uncommented the “SetHandler fastcgi-script” as you suggested but the site remains in maintenance mode.

 

Did some research from home this weekend and a lot of people discovered it has something to do with rights on the sci scripts.

But all info stops there.

 

Strange how an apache update can ruin an entire application!

 

Thanks for your help & have a wonderful 2017!

Mark

Hello,

 

Do not # the "SetHandler fastcgi-script"

 

Le 16 déc. 2016 à 13:48, Mark Van Crombrugge (via sympa-fr Mailing List) <address@concealed> a écrit :

 

Thanks for the info.

 

I changed the config file from:

Alias /static-sympa /home/sympa/static_content 

ScriptAlias /sympa /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi

 

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>

  AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi

</IfModule>

 

 

to:

<Location /sympa>

 Require all granted

# SetHandler fastcgi-script

</Location>

 

<Directory "/home/sympa/static_content">

  Require all granted

</Directory>

 

Alias /static-sympa /home/sympa/static_content 

ScriptAlias /sympa /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi

 

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>

  AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi

</IfModule>

 

 

And now I get the wws webpage but it says “The mailing list server is in maintenance mode, no operations can be performed during this period.”

Impossible to login...

 

I’ts an improvement that the page is now visible but where do I change from maintenance to active mode?

It was active before the upgrade of Apache so it’s a bit strange tnat now it’s in maintenance mode...

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Have a nice weekend!

Mark
