[Pkg-sympa-devel] Bug#714082: solution

[Alexandre Hannud Abdo]

Ni! Hi Daniel,

I had precisely the same issue in every detail, and I could reproduce it
by visiting the fastcgi application and then calling:

$ sudo service apache2 graceful

Well, it turned out I was lacking the suexec module:

$ sudo a2enmod suexec

Fixed it for good.

I discovered this by looking at line 17 in

/usr/share/doc/sympa/changelog.Debian.gz

where it is stated that suexec is required to properly reload the fcgi
wrapper.

I wish this was better documented, say, in

/usr/share/doc/sympa/README.Debian

which as of today doesn't say a word about enabling suexec.

Cheers,
ale
