Does RT require apache?

I am researching the feasability of having my department use RT. We are not running the apache web server (I’m not sure why) but I believe we are using the netscape web server. I was wondering if RT can be configured to use the Netscape web ser?
if not please let me know.
Thanks

Hi John,

A good RT Bible is found at http://fsck.com/rtfm/article.html?id=1#1

Read that and make a decision.

I have been trying to install RT and all the modules for a while. When I
run make install for RT i get the following error

DBI->connect(dbname=kdqctdev;host=winchester) failed: Can’t connect using
this syntax without specifying a HOST and a SID at
/local/mnt/workspace/jgedeon/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/DBIx/SearchBuilder/Handle.pm
line 117
Connect Failed Can’t connect using this syntax without specifying a HOST
and a SID
at //local/mnt/workspace/jgedeon/local/rt2/etc/insertdata line 27
*** Error code 255

Can anyone help me?

I had a fair amount of trouble getting the modules to install as well, I
used interactive CPAN, but still a few (DBI, the one it looks like is
troubling you and others) were reluctant. I went into the cpan
repository and did make/make installs on them (skipping the make test,
cuz it’d fail). Read the README’s before doing that. But, it worked
for me.

If anyone has better suggestions (I’m sure they are out there), please
share.

I did get the modules installed finally and i wrote a short script that
could connect to the database using the version of perl i installed. but
RT’s installation program dies when it tries to connect. see error below
