Changing sympa.example.com/wws/wsdl to sympa.example.com/wsdl gives 404

[qulien]

I wanted to change the sympa setup so that instead of reaching the web interface at http://sympa.example.com/wws, I could reach it simply via http://sympa.example.com. I also simplified http://sympa.example.com/sympasoap to http://sympa.example.com/soap.

To do this, I changed the following lines in /etc/sympa/sympa/sympa.conf:

• wwsympa_url http://sympa.example.com/wws → wwsympa_url http://sympa.example.com/
• soap_url http://sympa.example.com/sympasoap → soap_url http://sympa.example.com/soap

And the following lines in /etc/apache2/conf-available/sympa.conf and sympa-soap.conf respectively:

• ScriptAlias /wws /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi → ScriptAlias / /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi
• ScriptAlias /sympasoap /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa/sympa_soap_server-wrapper.fcgi → ScriptAlias /soap /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa/sympa_soap_server-wrapper.fcgi

Everything seems to work as expected, with one exception:

• sympa.example.com/wsdl gives a 404 Error instead of serving the WSDL definition.

Version

• Sympa 6.2.40

Installation method

apt install sympa

Expected behavior

• WSDL description can be reached via http://sympa.example.com

Actual behavior

• http://sympa.example.com yields 404 Error

Additional information

I assume I'm missing something; would appreciate any pointers in the right direction.

Hi @qulien ,

Did you setup Sympa SOAP service? Please see the documentation for details.

[qulien]

@ikedas yep, SOAP is set up. API calls also work (when using the previous URL scheme, including wws). Just couldn't get it to work without the wws yet.

[racke]

What about a redirect / rewrite in your Apache configuration from wws/wsdl to wsdl?

[ikedas]

@qulien , please show the full configuration you made for Apache and Sympa.

[EDIT] And Please tell the versions of Sympa, Apache and the operating system.

[ikedas]

And just a thought, can you access to http://sympa.example.com/lists ?

I decided this issue is a duplicate of #879.

mod_proxy_fcgi always determines only one path component as SCRIPT_NAME CGI variable. Thus, with @qulien 's setting, CGI variables are set as below:

• http://sympa.example.com/:

  REQUEST_URI=/
  SCRIPT_NAME=/
  PATH_INFO=        (empty)
  

• http://sympa.example.com/wsdl:

  REQUEST_URI=/wsdl
  SCRIPT_NAME=/wsdl
  PATH_INFO=        (empty)
  

• http://sympa.example.com/lists/others:

  REQUEST_URI=/lists/others
  SCRIPT_NAME=/lists
  PATH_INFO=others
  

Though expected behavior is that SCRIPT_NAME will always be / and PATH_INFO will be remainder of the path.

This bug was fixed on #879 and it was included in Sympa 6.2.56.

So this issue is closed as a duplicate issue.
