Okay, the sympa-2.7.3-2mdk fixed a lot of the bugs from my earlier report, thank you! Here's what remains. Step-by-step follows.. ## 01 ## rpm -ev sympa ## 02 ## # Remove any/all remaining traces of # old Sympa RPMs (quite a few, since # that first package had a few # problems..) ## 03 ## rpm -ivh sympa-2.7.3-2mdk.i586.rpm ## 04 ## # Had to do all this to get it to # work on a standard install # (except the SSL part, but Mandrake # can at least correct the path to # SSL, it's set for /usr/local.. by # default). The log_socket_type was # the key to making it work right. pico /etc/sympa.conf diff /etc/sympa.conf.dist /etc/sympa.conf 26c26 < log_socket_type unix --- > log_socket_type inet 46c46 < host your.host --- > host my.hostname.com 49c49 < listmaster [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- > listmaster [EMAIL PROTECTED] 53c53 < wwsympa_url http://your.host/wws --- > wwsympa_url http://my.hostname.com/wws 86c86 < #openssl /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl --- > openssl /usr/bin/openssl ## 05 ## # This config file isn't copied, # can this be fixed please? cp /home/sympa/sample/wwsympa.conf /etc chmod 644 /etc/wwsympa.conf ## 06 ## # These need to be set to work on a # somewhat standard Mandrake install, # without them, I got errors up the # rear. pico /etc/wwsympa.conf diff /home/sympa/sample/wwsympa.conf wwsympa.conf 3c3 < use_fast_cgi 1 --- > use_fast_cgi 0 22c22 < # log_facility LOCAL2 --- > log_facility LOCAL1 ## 07 ## # Can this please be added automatically? # Even if you leave it commented out, WWSympa # doesn't work unless you have this line in # your Apache configuration. Inserting it and # leaving it commented out makes LOTS of sense. echo "ScriptAlias /wws /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa.fcgi" >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ## 08 ## # Annoying cleanup, this needs to be fixed. # The one graphic gets placed in the wrong # directory and the directory's ownership # gets changed to sympa.sympa, which is BAD. mkdir /home/httpd/icons/sympa chown sympa.sympa /home/httpd/icons/sympa mv /home/httpd/icons/logo-s.gif /home/httpd/icons/sympa chown root.root /home/httpd/icons After all of this, bringing up my web browser and hitting http://my.hostname.com/wws brought me right to a WWSympa login screen. YAY! I finally did it. Thanks to Geoffrey for packaging the new version, looking forward to a final one in the next few days (if you have the time). Don Head Linux Mentor Wave Technologies, Inc.
