FC4, RT 3.4.1, Apache 2.0.54 config - how to remove trailing '/rt/'

Anyone know of an easy way to modify the instructions found at
Request Tracker Wiki so that I can
simply use http://rt.mydomain.org http://rt.mydomain.org/ instead of
http://realhostname.mydomain.org/rt/ to access request tracker?
Actually, http://rt.mydomain.org/rt/ works too, but I’d like to get rid
of that trailing ‘/rt/’ if possible. I’ve doodled with RT_SiteConfig and
httpd.conf, but I don’t seem to have it right. I keep getting the
“You’re almost there! You haven’t yet configured your webserver to run
RT. You appear to have installed RT’s web interface correctly, but
haven’t yet configured your web server to ‘run’ the RT server which
powers the web interface” when I try accessing RT via
http://rt.mydomain.org http://rt.mydomain.org/ .

I’m guessing it’s a combination of changing $WebPath and/or $WebBaseURL
(in RT_SiteConfig) and/or the ScriptAlias line (in httpd.conf), but then
again, I don’t know.

Thank you in advance,

Ronald Nissley

Ronald,

Its a combination of both ScriptAlias in httpd.conf, and WebPath in RT_SiteConfig:

ScriptAlias / /opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi/

Set($WebPath , "");

Best,

This is what I’d tried before; no, it didn’t work this time either. I
keep getting the same message. And yes, I did restart Apache (httpd)
after making the changes.
