Font-Awesome CSS files failing to load due to 404 file not found responses #1691

Closed fusenuk closed 1 year ago

fusenuk commented 1 year ago

Version

6.2.72

Installation method

RHEL YUM package

Expected behavior

The new font-awesome icons to show up in the browser.

Actual behavior

The new font-awesome CSS files are not loading. The URLs return 404 response codes, so none of the new icons are showing.

Steps to reproduce

Browse to the main index page and look at the three main links in the image below. None of them show whatever circle icon they are supposed to show.

Additional information

Very strangely the license file does load successfully at https://lists.kent.ac.uk/static-sympa/fonts/font-awesome/LICENSE.txt

Also the font files load at https://lists.kent.ac.uk/static-sympa/fonts/font-awesome/webfonts/fa-brands-400.ttf

It seems to be a specific issue with just the CSS files.

I've included two screenshots below showing the 3 404 responses to trying to load the new CSS files yet when I search for the files on the server then they appear exactly where they should be. None of the Sympa config settings for static content have been changed from the default.

Please run following command:

# rpm -V sympa sympa-httpd

(If you have installed sympa-nginx or sympa-lighttpd, replace sympa-httpd with it) then show us the entire output.

Thanks ikedas that highlighted the root cause.

/usr/share/sympa/static_content/fonts/font-awesome/css# rpm -V sympa sympa-httpd SM5..U.T. c /etc/sympa/auth.conf S.5....T. c /etc/sympa/create_list.conf S.5..UGT. c /etc/sympa/edit_list.conf .....UG.. /etc/sympa/scenari S.5..U.T. c /etc/sympa/sympa.conf S.5..UGT. c /etc/sympa/topics.conf .....UG.. /etc/sympa/web_tt2 S.5....T. /usr/share/sympa/default/mail_tt2/moderate.tt2 S.5....T. /usr/share/sympa/default/web_tt2/list_menu.tt2 .......T. /usr/share/sympa/default/web_tt2/subscriber_table.tt2 missing c /etc/httpd/conf.d/sympa.conf

The missing httpd sympa.conf is being replaced by a custom .conf file with the following Aliases in

Vhost docroot

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

Alias declarations for resources outside the DocumentRoot

Alias /export "/opt/sympa-local/export" Alias /static-sympa/fonts/font-awesome/css "/usr/share/font-awesome-web/css" Alias /static-sympa/fonts/font-awesome/fonts "/usr/share/fonts/fontawesome" Alias /static-sympa/css "/var/lib/sympa/css" Alias /static-sympa/pictures "/var/lib/sympa/pictures" Alias /static-sympa "/usr/share/sympa/static_content" ScriptAlias /sympa "/usr/libexec/sympa/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi"

I've temporarily copied all of the missing CSS files to the aliased directory

/usr/share/sympa/static_content/fonts/font-awesome/css# cp *.css /usr/share/font-awesome-web/css/

and that has returned the 'proper' look to Sympa.

Are those Aliases normally created by the Sympa package install or are users expected to manually add them to the HTTPD config at install?

The above config was completed by a colleague who has now left.

ikedas commented 1 year ago

Remove (or comment out) these lines:

Alias /static-sympa/fonts/font-awesome/css "/usr/share/font-awesome-web/css"
Alias /static-sympa/fonts/font-awesome/fonts "/usr/share/fonts/fontawesome"

and restart httpd service.

Also note that it would be better to use the original sympa.conf for httpd and edit it to suit your site's needs. Otherwise, it will be re-installed each time you update the sympa-httpd package.
