## FAQ

### List::load() No such robot

J'ai des messages de ce type alors que example.com n'est pas/plus du tout domaine :

~~~
Nov  9 18:35:18 serveur task_manager[7285]: List::load() No such robot (virtual domain) example.com
~~~

Cela pourrait venir de tâches à nettoyer dans /var/spool/sympa/task/
Au passage, vérifier en base de données qu'il n'y a pas/plus rien relatif à example.com dans subscriber_table, session_table, logs_table.

### Installation sous Debian 6

Sous Debian Squeeze, voici quelques manipulations nécessaires suite à l'installation :

~~~
# chown sympa:sympa /usr/lib/sympa/lib/sympa/queue
# chmod u+s /usr/lib/sympa/lib/sympa/queue
# chown root /etc/postfix/sympa.aliases
~~~

### End of script output before headers

Si vous avez des erreurs Apache du type :

~~~
[fcgid:warn] [pid 21826] (104)Connection reset by peer: [client 192.0.2.42:37006] mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server
[core:error] [pid 21826] [client 192.0.2.42:37006] End of script output before headers: wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi
~~~

[Assurez-vous](https://bugs.debian.org/682562) d'avoir activé `use_fast_cgi`.
