The quick fix:

There's a Sympa icon being installed in
/home/httpd/icons/sympa, which of course should
now be /var/www/icons/sympa.  Might want to
correct this.  Don't want to ship it broken..


Another minor annoyance:

Also, if that whole Apache virtual host for
Sympa thing didn't get worked out, I came up with
a quick easy solution that doesn't require
making changes to Apache's configuration.  It can
also be easily removed upon uninstallation of the
Sympa package.

Create a new file in /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/
called sympa.conf, and put in the required
virtual stuff.  It of course wouldn't be
activated until someone added an include line to
the httpd.conf, but at least this way all the
configuration is ready to go.  The file should
look like this:


<VirtualHost lists.mydomain.net> 
  ServerName      lists.mydomain.net
  DocumentRoot    /home/sympa
  User            sympa
  Group           sympa
  ScriptAlias     /wws     /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa.fcgi
< /VirtualHost >


I think by making a separate conf file, it
solves your (Geoffrey Lee) fears from your

And it makes use of something that Apache
designed for situations just like this,
configuration includes. =)

Include conf/vhosts/sympa.conf


A future headache:

I'd love to move the Sympa pieces to /usr/share
and/or /var/sympa or something in order to get it
out of /home/sympa, but that's a huge move.  I
think I'll save this for next century. =P



On a final note, have I actually got Sympa
working?  To be honest, I haven't even tried.
I've been wayyyy to busy lately.  Just thought
I'd mention these things before we hit a deep
freeze.
