wwsympa always returns HTTP status code 421 and empty page after update to 6.2.72

[bohrsty]

I updated my sympa installation to version 6.2.72 and the web interface (wwsympa) stops working, it shows an empty page with HTTP status code 421 (Misdirected Request).

Version

sympa: 6.2.72
sympa-nginx: 6.2.72

Installation method

rpm (fedora 36, but same behavior after upgrade to fedora 38)
wwsympa uses "virtual domain settings" with robot.conf

Expected behavior

Show the wwsympa web interface after opening the url.

Actual behavior

Empty page with HTTP status code 421 after opening the url.

Steps to reproduce

Opening the url (after upgrade from 6.2.70 to 6.2.72)

Additional information

The nginx log only shows the request and the status code 421:

<IPv6 address> - - [18/Jan/2024:21:57:44 +0100] "GET /sympa/info/info-ls HTTP/1.1" 421 11 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:120.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/120.0"

With log_level 3 sympa.log shows these entries during request and nothing more:

Hi @bohrsty ,
Could you please show the settings of nginx and Smpa?

[bohrsty]

Sure:
nginx/sympa.conf:

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;

    server_name lists.bohrs.net judo.bohrs.net;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/sympa_ssl_access.log;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/lists.bohrs.net/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/lists.bohrs.net/key.pem;

    location / {
#        return 301 https://$host/sympa;
        root /var/www/judo.bohrs.net;
    }

    location /sympa {
        include       /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass  unix:/run/sympa/wwsympa.socket;

        # If you changed wwsympa_url in sympa.conf, change this regex too!
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(/sympa)(.*)$;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/libexec/sympa/wwsympa.fcgi;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
    }

    location /static-sympa/css {
        alias /var/lib/sympa/css;
    }
    location /static-sympa/pictures {
        alias /var/lib/sympa/pictures;
    }
    location /static-sympa {
        alias /usr/share/sympa/static_content;
    }
}

robot.conf:

wwsympa_url     https://judo.bohrs.net/sympa
title           BFV LS - Mailservice
gecos           BFV LS Mailservice

Are these sufficient, or do you need more?

But as far as I know, none of these configs changed during the update...

[ikedas]

What is the full path of robot.conf?

[bohrsty]

The path is /etc/sympa/judo.bohrs.net/robot.conf

[ikedas]

    server_name lists.bohrs.net judo.bohrs.net;

This line should be

    server_name judo.bohrs.net;

Or, if you want to use the both host names as Sympa's virtual hosts, insert this line just after incude line:

fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $host;

[bohrsty]

Thank you so far, the webinterface works again after adding the suggested line...

But now all icons are not shown, they are only rectangles with the corresponding hex-codes in it (like F015)... I cannot see any errors in the browser console or errors loading any file in network-tab...Have you an idea, what causes this problem?

[bohrsty]

@ikedas any news about those icons?

[ikedas]

@bohrsty , how about removing location / { … } ?

[bohrsty]

@ikedas, I've tried, but it doesn't change anything...

[ikedas]

@bohrsty , please see the documentation to configure HTTP server from scratch.
