Hi all,
We are planning to configure RT on apache 2 with mod_perl. We require
apache 2 to be installed and since there lot of posts which showed
configuration problems with apache 2, i was wondering if anyone has been
successful in running any version of RT on apache 2 and mod_perl ?

I was able to do this last year on Fedora Core @2. However, when I just
tried it on a fully updated Fedora Core 4 machine with the latest RT, no
joy. I had problems with webmux.pl finding Apache2.pm and another file
because they were in a Bundle subdirectory, I fixed that with a use lib
line in webmux, then ran into a problem where perl said that the load
subroutine was being redefined by XSLoader. I gave up and switched to
FastCGI.

We’re currently running RT 3.4.2 on RHEL 4’s Apache (2.0.52). While,
like Kelly, we’re using FastCGI rather than mod_perl, we’ve had
absolutely no trouble with apache 2.
and mod_perl ?
Once upon a time mod_perl2 was simply not an option with RT. See:
http://lists.bestpractical.com/pipermail/rt-users/2005-April/
030477.html
While I can’t speak from personal experience, recent postings to this
list have indicated that RT’s previous inability to easily play nicely
with mod_perl may come to an end soon.

While you say that you have a requirement that you use (or at least
install?) apache 2, you state no similar requirement that you use
mod_perl. Could you use Apache 2 with FastCGI? It worked for us “out of
the box,” though of course, YMMV. If you have need to use mod_perl,
perhaps either RT 3.4.4 or something from the 3.5.x development family
will provide what you need. Alternatively, you might be able to try
using Apache2 with mod_perl1, but I believe that that has lead to many
headaches for others in the past. There are also instructions on
building your own apache + mod_perl are located on the BestPractical
wiki at:

Yup.
I’m running it on MP2/A2 on Suse 9.2 (on PostGres, even).
It’s not a hardcore production system, we’re still playing, but
everything I’ve tried has worked so far.

Hi Jay,
Which version of mod_perl are you running? Is it possible to send me the
httpd.conf file of Apache 2.

The reason i am choosing mod_perl over FastCGI is because we need to
implement the “NTLM” (integrated windows authentication) module for
Apache/Unix. The module is called as mod_ntlm.c and my search over the
internet showed that Apache1.3.9 and Apache 2.0 support it. So, we want
to upgrade our current version of Apache to Apache 2.0 with any version of
mod_perl.
Has anyone installed the mod_ntlm module in Apache? If yes, does it work
fine with FastCGI?

Apache is pretty modular. I’d expect any authentication method to
work fine with fastcgi. I use mod_auth_pam on a linux box configured
to authenticate against an NT domain controller myself.

Which version of mod_perl are you running? Is it possible to send me
the httpd.conf file of Apache 2.
I’m running the one before the Great Renaming, and I believe you
would have to as well, at least for 3.4.1, which is the RT I’m running.
Later versions may or may not have tracked the MP2 namespace change.
I hadn’t thought it was, but it appears to be
apache2-mod_perl-1.99_12_20040302-38
from the SuSE 9.2 release. The Apache is 2.0.50, by now, after some
upgrades.
What I believe are the pertinent config files are visible at
http://staging.microsys.us/pub/rtconf/
though that mod_perl config file is clearly not right; nothing is in
/srv/www.
It’s been at least 6 months since I had to touch my config, so I’m a bit
weak.

I have managed to get it working with the one after the Great Renaming too.
The necessary changes are actually pretty minimal. A proper solution is
expected in the next release. Meanwhile the changes described in this debian
bug report may be of help:
