2 simple questions

Sorry for the (possibly) dumb questions, but Google & mailing list searches
have been of little help…

  1. The password for root login via the web interface has been lost. It is
    possible to recover/restore this password?
    We have tried the advice in
    [rt-devel] RE: [rt-users] Restore root password for rt3.0
    http://lists.bestpractical.com/pipermail/rt-devel/2003-July/004573.html ,
    but as with Jitender, the problem remains.

  2. It is possible to install 2 instances of RT on the same box?
    We have a test system (RedHat 7.2, PERL 5.8.6, Apache 1.2.9, RT 3.0.6) that
    we would like to retain while we setup a new version (RT 3.4.2 on the same
    box) for a larger client group with more diverse needs.
    A couple of list items from the archives have indicated trouble/disaster
    dealing with this
    SOLUTION Re: [rt-devel] RT.pm with multiple instances and FastCGI
    <SOLUTION Re: [rt-devel] RT.pm with multiple instances and FastCGI

&
[rt-devel] Suggestion/Question for multiple RT instances/versions
<[rt-devel] Suggestion/Question for multiple RT instances/versions
but again we’ve not any real success. The most obvious problem is setting
different PERL aliases, and the “crossed wires” references to webmux.pl on
two different paths /opt/rt3 (old version) & /opt/smb-rt3 (new version)

Comments, suggestions or directions to decent web literature are very much
appreciated.

AFAIK, this is trivial using FastCGI. Search

hi
since two days or so our rt installation is behaving weird on “big” emails
(meaning 2MB+) - we’re running on RH9 with fastcgi and the mason_handler eats up
nearly all cpu-time and get itself 75 MB memory (or so), problem is the email
never gets correctly imported - tested it via commandline:

[root@beast root]# cat test-mail.txt | /opt/knet_rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue
general --action correspond --url http://beast.kapper.net/
An Error Occurred

500 read timeout

side-effect: after a few cycles the mason_handler is just blocking any activity
on RT - until we restart apache, then it behaves well until the next big email
comes along (and if we moved the big email from the queue to elsewhere).

we’re running RT V3.0.9, perl-modules are patched to “latest” via cpan - I have
no idea at the moment what to do …

any help appreciated.

thank you in advance
