version 6.2.22, problem with virtual hosts

[igorzigorz]

Could not configure version 6.22 to work with virtual hosts. FreeBSD, --with-confdir, sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/sympa
apache 2.4 + mod_fcgid
simple robot.conf with others title.
Shows only the main config.
When replace with version 6.2.16 same config all works.

Hi @igorzigorz,

You would be better to create two directories named by domain:

• EXPLDIR/domain (see Sympa/Constants.pm to know where is EXPLDIR).
• SYSCONFDIR/domain (where robot.conf is placed).

Note that these directories have to be writable by user sympa.

Thanks!
I created directory EXPLDIR/domain and it worked.
Why is it better if it's mandatory?

[ikedas]

EXPLDIR/domain will contain the configurations of all lists in virtual domain domain. That's why this is mandatory for virtual domain.

In any case it is bad behavior. SYSCONFDIR/domain a sufficient condition for the web interface. About EXPLDIR/domain should be a warning. If you can say about the problem, why should be silent? There's nothing worse for a sysadmin than a silent application.
