First, let’s start with perl.
My CentOS-3 (RHEL-3) system had perl 5.8.0 installed, and RT says it needs
5.8.3 minimum. Following the ‘ComplilingPerl’ page, in the RT Wiki, I have
built perl 5.8.7 and it is installed in /usr/local/perl-5.8.7.
The page assumes that I already have a working RT installed, and uses it to
help get the perl up to date with all required perl modules. I don’t have RT
installed yet though. Is there some way that I can install all these
dependencies before installing RT? I know I can do this during the RT
install, but I’d prefer to get it done ahead of time, if I can.
Also, the page stops at the point of telling me I need to do something so
that RT will use the new perl and not the vendor supplied one, but stops
short of telling me what it is I need to do. What do I need to do?

You should actually be able to start installing RT. Follow the manual
instructions in the Wiki, and make sure to configure RT to use your
custom perl installation. Then when you get to the step of using the
dependency checker/resolver it will handle installing the CPAN
dependencies for you.

Hello David,
There shouldn’t (of course!) be any HTML in the downloaded data - can you
show us what the data looks like - what fields have HTML and what the tags are?
Also, what version of RT are you on?
Thanks,
Steve

I would hazard a guess and say that Excel is adding them automatically
around email addresses. I can’t see anywhere else it would do that
though. With 3.4.4 I see no HTML tags in the raw file. OpenOffice Calc
does not add any tags. I can’t test Excel…

Ok. I set and exported the PERL variable to the location of the newer perl,
then built and installed RT.
Now I’m trying to build the fastcgi module for apache, and it’s failing
because I’m getting lots of undefined references to
apr_something
where ‘something’ is a lot of different things.
What do I need to add to my system to get these functions?

I see that I was trying to build it incorrectly, and have corrected my
mistake. It builds and installs just fine now. Sorry.

Ok, now that I have mod_fastcgi installed, I’m trying to configure apache 2
to be able to access RT. I’m finding it very confusing, because the wiki
shows to do it different ways on different pages.
When I try to access the URL https://spot.blackdogsoft.net/rt I get a 403
error page saying I don’t have permission to access /rt, and the ssl error
log says “FastCGI: invalid (dynamic) server “/usr/local/rt3/share/html/”:
script is a directory!”
In httpd.conf, I added (outside of any virtual host):
FastCgiIpcDir /tmp
FastCgiServer /usr/local/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi -idle-timeout 120
-processes 10
and where all of the other modules are loaded:
LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so
In my ssl virtual host definition, I added:
Alias /rt “/usr/local/rt3/share/html”
AddHandler fastcgi-script fcgi
ScriptAlias /rt /opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi/
<Location /rt>
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
SetHandler fastcgi-script
<Directory “/usr/local/rt3”>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Other info: my webserver runs as user and group “apache”. My RT installation
is all owned by root and group bin, except for some which are group apache.
I could use some help figuring out what I’ve done wrong, please. I’m sure
it’s me, and not the software.
If more info is needed, just ask - I’ll be glad to provide it.

By the time you replace the stock perl and mysql, you might
be ahead to update the whole system to Centos-4 which only
needs the addition of the fastcgi module to work.

I’m not replacing the stock perl, simply adding a newer bersion for use by
RT and anything else that might want it in the future. Replacing MySQL was
trivial - I just uninstalled the stock RPMs and installed the RPMs from the
MySQL site.
Upgrading to CentOS-4 would be nice, but I’m not prepared to do that, just
yet.

Alias /rt “/usr/local/rt3/share/html”
I’m sure you don’t need this Alias.
When I removed the alias, apache was unable to find RT, so I put it back.

You need package httpd-devel, but secial.mk is located elsewhere… at
/usr/lib/httpd/build/special.mk.
I have packaged rt-3.4.5 for CentOs 4 (with mod_perl), see:
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?RPMInstall
or if you really want mod_fastcgi you can grab it from:

Personally, I used cp RT_Config.pm RT_SiteConfig.pm and read the inline
notes in the file.
The info for the httpd conf file is on the Wiki at the BestPractical
site: it’s very simple - I do something like the below. That’s for
Apache 1.3, virtual host, but I’m sure you’ll see the important parts.
Note that the DocumentRoot (in the vs, or the Directory in other cases)
should relate to values you set in RT_SiteConfig
<VirtualHost 10.50.80.36:80>
ServerName rt
ServerAlias rt.easa.local
DocumentRoot “/opt/rt3/share/html/”
Options FollowSymLinks

Hello,
I got the same problem.
“You don’t have permission to access /rt on this server”
Did you have your problem solved?
Thanks,
