The Wheezy package configures the logging to /var/log/sympa.log. For Squeeze/Oldstable you need to perform some additional steps:

=== Installation (Squeeze/Oldstable) ===

2. Configure logs:
 * Create logs directory:
{{{
# mkdir /var/log/sympa
}}}

 * add this line in {{{/etc/rsyslog.d/sympa.conf}}}
{{{
local1.* /var/log/sympa/sympa.log
}}}

 * and restart rsyslogd

 The package in wheezy and later configures the logging to /var/log/sympa.log.

== FastCGI Setup (extra steps for Squeeze/Oldstable) ==

(These steps are no longer necessary for Wheezy / Stable)

To run wwsympa with sympa privileges, you can install suexec apache module :
{{{
# apt-get install apache2-suexec
# a2enmod suexec
}}}
Also you will need fcgid apache2 module
{{{
# apt-get install libapache2-mod-fcgid
# a2enmod fcgid
}}}

Modify apache configuration file of sympa (initially in {{{/etc/apache2/conf.d/sympa}}}):
{{{
# Apache configuration file for Sympa

Alias /static-sympa /var/lib/sympa/static_content
Alias /wwsicons /usr/share/sympa/icons
ScriptAlias /wws /var/www/sympa/wwsympa.fcgi

  <IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
    IPCCommTimeout 120
    MaxProcessCount 2
  </IfModule>

  SuexecUserGroup sympa sympa

  <Location /wws>
    SetHandler fcgid-script
  </Location>
}}}

Attention! When you use suexec: your cgi scripts must be stored in the document root: {{{/var/www}}}. Thus you must create a wrapper to execute the wwsympa.fcgi in {{{/usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa}}}:
{{{
# mkdir /var/www/sympa
# vim /var/www/sympa/wwsympa.fcgi
}}}
Create {{{/var/www/sympa/wwwsympa.fcgi}}}:
{{{
 #!/bin/sh
 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa/wwsympa.fcgi
}}}
and give the correct permissions to your script, so that suexec can launch it.
{{{
# chown -R sympa:sympa /var/www/sympa/
# chmod ug+x sympa/wwsympa.fcgi
}}}

Sympa is mailing list management software.

Sympa

Installing and Configuring

Prerequisites

  • A web server: Apache
  • A database: MySQL or PostgreSQL
  • Locales used in web interface

Installation (All Debian Versions)

Install the sympa package.

Sympa creates all the tables during installation. Thus, you must provide the root password of MySQL or PostgreSQL.

The package in wheezy and later configures the logging to /var/log/sympa.log.

WWSympa

WWSympa is the web interface of Sympa. Sympa and WWSympa are in the same package : sympa. When installed, the Web interface is accessible at this URL: http://localhost/wws/

WWSympa installation

Install the wwsympa package.

For the package in wheezy and later, WWSympa is automatically setup to run using FastCGI. The package installer will create the necessary .fcgi scripts below.

FastCGI Setup (All Debian versions)

Enable fast CGI in the /etc/sympa/wwsympa.conf file. 

## Is fast_cgi module for Apache (or Roxen) installed (0 | 1)
## This module provide much faster web interface
use_fast_cgi    1

Accessing the WWSympa interface

You can browse, send the listmaster password and send messages with the web interface (http://example.com/wws)

If apache returns an error, look at logs: /var/log/apache2/error.log and /var/log/apache2/suexec.log

If you receive an error like: mod_fcgid fails with "Premature end of script headers: wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi and your webserver error log is full of HTML output, make sure you set use_fast_cgi 1 in /etc/sympa/wwsympa.
