It seems that I have problems on pages with forms but not pages with links. I tried replacing:
use HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler (args_method => ‘CGI’);
withuse HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler (args_method=>‘mod_perl’)
in webmux.pl but that didn’t help.

I am using rt2-0-13. Thanks in advance for any help.

Dear Dennis!

Looks like you have configured your Apache to use HTML::Mason with
(args_method => ‘mod_perl’).
RT2 can’t redefine this setting because args_method is a parameter of
module import.
This issue will be fixed in upcoming 1.10 version of HTML::Mason,
args_method will be a parameter of ApacheHandler constructor.

Now you can either reconfigure your server to use (args_method => ‘CGI’)
or use a patch suggested by me in
http://lists.fsck.com/pipermail/rt-devel/2002-February/002079.html.
Jesse said that there is no reasons to add this patch to the current
stable branch
and it will not be needed in future versions too due to the change in
HTML::Mason mentioned above.

Best regards,
Alexei
