The file was created by me.
I reformatted and reinstalled the server and am repeating all the steps I mentioned earlier. In this case, the installation of dependent modules (cpanminus) and the generation of the initial configuration don't apply, right? I don't really understand what to install in this part (https://www.sympa.community/manual/install/configure-http-server.html) of the HTTP server configuration; maybe this is where I'm missing something. And I can't find anything to help me with this part. I install the web server (apache2) and it works, but then I can't configure it for Sympa. |

This file exists, with this content: But I also need to configure a virtual host in Apache, right? I don't quite understand this part. I think this is where all my configurations fail, because this is where I'm misconfiguring things. |

Maybe a problem with IPv6 or IPv6 addresses? [client 2001:690:2260:107::5:51301] |

I don't think it will be ipv6, as I have already disabled ipv6 and the error remains

@quim-droid , I think probably fastest way is once uninstalling Sympa completely and installing it again without replacing / adding anything by your own. |

What I've done so far: I haven't configured anything yet in the file /etc/sympa/sympa/sympa.conf (here I usually adjust the domain, listmaster, and wwsympa_url). In the apache configuration directory there is no file /etc/apache2/sites-available/sympa.conf When I did "a2enmod sympa" I got the error "ERROR: Module sympa does not exist!" What do you think I should do next? |

I reinstalled everything, formatted the VM, and installed everything again. I noticed that when activating sympa (a2enmod sympa), the first time I run the command, it gives an error, but then it says it's already running. How do I know if the module is running or not? What can I do? I'm almost giving up. I have the project to finish by the end of the month, and I might have to start looking at other options. (Mailman?!?) |

The answers are:
Q: The 'sympa_newaliases-wrapper' program runs with root privileges to allow Sympa to update email aliases when creating or deleting lists, but this can lead to security issues (see CVE-2020-26880). In more email environments (Exim, Postfix), Sympa does not require root privileges (see also the 'aliases_program' parameter in Sympa.conf). Please choose whether to install this program with the u+s bit set. Should Sympa_newaliases-wrapper be setuid root? Q: The Sympa package must have a database installed and configured before it can be used. This can be optionally handled with dbconfig-common. If you are an advanced database administrator and know that you want to perform this configuration manually, or if your database has already been installed and configured, you should refuse this option. Details on what needs to be done will likely be provided in /usr/share/doc/sympa. Q: Database type to be used by sympa: Q: MySQL application password for sympa: Q: Password confirmation: |

Hello, I'm trying to install the new version of Sympa (sympa-6.2.76).
I have a server with a very old version (Version : 6.1.17) installed and I want to update to this new version.
I've done a lot of research and done several tests, but I can't get the server to work. I've tested it with several operating systems (CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian), but it never works on them.
I installed Apache, MariaDB, and Sympa, but I can't access them via the web page (http://server_ip/wws).
Can you tell me where I can find a tutorial?
What I've done:
apt install -y mariadb-server
systemctl enable --now mariadb
mysql_secure_installation
apt install -y apache2
apt install -y php php-cli php-mysql php-cgi php-fpm php-xml php-intl php-mbstring php-ldap php-curl php-zip
apt install -y libapache2-mod-fcgid
a2enmod fcgid rewrite ssl
systemctl enable --now apache2
systemctl restart apache2
apt install -y sympa
Should sympa_newaliases-wrapper be setuid root? Yes
Configure database for sympa with dbconfig-common? Yes
Database type to be used by sympa: mysql
MySQL application password for sympa: password1234
I'm running out of solutions.
