So, I seem to have caused myself the same problem as described in
http://lists.fsck.com/pipermail/rt-users/2002-January/006217.html
(to wit: When logged in to a non-privileged account, I can see my list
of open & new tickets, but none of the links from the page seem to work.
If I click on any link on the page, it changes the URL, but the same
page displays.)
and in an apparently similar way: I was logged in to a particular
non-privledged accont at the same time as someone else.
This user account is now completely broken.
Any ideas?

Sorry to self-reply, but more details:
-
At least on other non-privledged account, which existed before this
happened, is broken in the same way.
-
Even for root, the logout button doesn’t work.
-
Most disturbingly, and this is really wierd:
Logged in as non-privledged user ‘b’ (i.e. not the one that caused
this, call em ‘a’).
Hit any button, including logout, return to main window, which
shows 3 tickets to me.
BUT, hit ‘Open requests’, see the one request that was open to ‘b’
at the time the badness started, which has sincebeenclosed.
Boggle.
So, at this point, I’m just wondering how to wipe the RT database and
restart, because while it seems to me that RT breaks when multiple
people access the same account at the same time, I’m not sure that’s
really a bad thing. 8)
Complete system information upon request, but the short version is this
is a brand new FreeBSD machine, latest everything.

And, in this state, the “Logged in as:” lists user ‘a’ (the one the

I’m back at the main screen as user ‘b’ again.

A guest, but you seem to have have something funky going on with the
WebRT/sessiondata directory. Make sure that the user RT runs the WebUI as
has appropriate permissions to this directory as per the installation
docs.

Bruce, Robin,
would:
rt2 tmp clean
0 * * * * find /opt/rt2/WebRT/sessiondata -type f -amin +600 -exec rm {}
;
have anything to do with this?
Copy & paste from my crontab… just a thought.

Plausible, but my guess would be broken caching at the browser end.

That seems right, we had similar problems with opera (you cannot log
out)
and the latest Mozilla (You have to login in over and over)
Clearing the browser cache helped in both cases.

With opera, it is a bug. No matter what the sever/document sets as
the expiration time of a document, Opera refuses to honor it. It only
honors its own settings of how often to check for an updated
document. If you use the defaults, you get 5 minutes. So, if you log
in, and log out within that 5 minutes, you can’t really log out. If
you wait longer than that 5 minutes, opera will let you log out since
the page in question will be rechecked. Disable the timer feature in
opera and you’ll be happier.
As for mozilla, i have no clue.

It does, and I just blew away this whole directory. Now, none of the
buttons do anything at all when I log in. Note that this is true in
both IE and Opera.

If so, it’s a bug shared by both IE and Opera.

If I’m understanding you correctly, the trouble you’re having is with the
SelfService area presenting you with a bunch of pretty links, all of which
do nothing but put you back at that very same screen.
If so, check the list archives from late February and early March of this
year. Several users (including myself) had been hit by this same problem
for quite some time, and around that time someone posted a fix that worked
for all of us.
If that is not the problem you’re having, then, well, as you were.

That is the problem, but apparently that fix was incorporated somewhere
around 2.0.11, and I’m using 2.0.13… I’ll go check anyways, though.
Heh. As an added bonus, if I go to http://server/rt/ by hand, it takes
me back to that same screen. That’s in IE. Closing IE and re-opening
works, and logging in as a privledged user works. Bah.
Oh. It would appear to be a trailing slash problem:
Alias /rt/ /usr/local/rt/WebRT/html/
was
Alias /rt /usr/local/rt/WebRT/html/
a few minutes ago. Changing it back helped. Still can’t logout, but
only in Opera. Having both entries also seems to work, which is cool.
Thanks for the help!!

IMHO, this is not the browser’s fault, but RT’s, since it doesn’t add
any HTTP headers to prevent caching.
I fixed it by adding this to the Apache config:
<Directory /opt/rt2/bin>
Header set Cache-Control no-cache,must-revalidate
Header set Pragma no-cache
Header set Expires "Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"
</Directory>
This combination of headers works with all browsers I know of. The
first header is HTTP/1.1, the second HTTP/1.0, and the third is for
some stupid browsers.

I forgot to mention that this is for the FCGI version. You may need
something else instead of <Directory /opt/rt2/bin> when using
mod_perl.
Also, it causes the browser to reload /NoAuth/webrt.css,
/NoAuth/images/rt.jpg and /NoAuth/images/spacer.gif with every page,
which wastes some bandwith, but I didn’t have the time to fix this.
