Have anyone installed RT on debian Woody?
Which additional packages do I need?
In debian it is very easy.
Apt-get install request-tracker3
It installs automatically all packages, except those where you can select.
So you have to install separatly the db, I use postgres.
I can’t remember if apache is also installed.
In docs you can find INSTALL.Debian, it explains exactly how to go on with your installation.

It’s really great to hear that people think it is easy to install rt3
on Debian sid/sarge. However, the original poster was asking about
installing onto Debian woody. This isn’t easy right now although I
have done it. I have nearly all the necessary backported packages (but
not mysql or apache2 for instance) and I am just about to work on
putting together an apt repository. This should provide everything for
an apache1.3, mod_perl based install using postgres.
I will post details here when the repository is available.

But is that woody (stable)?.
When I searched debian.org packets i found rt3 in sid and sarge.
Or are there any backports for woody?

I have RT3 running on Debian.
I installed woody and upgraded it to sarge using ‘apt-get dist-upgrade’ then
installed RT using ‘apt-get request-tracker3’.
I also had to install postgres and do various configuration steps but now it
is all up and running and seems to be working fine.

What I did was use a woody, but upgraded as little as possible to make

telling apt to weigh it so it prefers stable unless you specifically say
otherwise.
Then you can have a woody system, but do:
~ sudo apt-get -t unstable request-tracker3

dependencies (which is still, unfortunately, a lot, but it beats running
a completely unstable system… =)

Interesting, I’ll take a look.
When I did my upgrade I went to Sarge, the testing release. This was
sufficient to install RT3, didn’t need to go to unstable.
Forgive my ignorance if I’m missing something here…

Hello Alexander,

yes we did here. And have runnig RT 3.0.5
Which additional packages do I need?
you will not get along with the packages in the woody distribution. There
is clearly a need for two additional installations:
perl 5.8 and mysql 4, which are not part of woody. We decided no to mix
packeges from other distributions into our (stable) woody system, so we
installed both software into a place separate from the system distibution.
same for rt3, which is not a woody package.
We have perl5.8 in /export/perl (you would perhaps choose /opt/perl) and a
mysql4 binary distribution from mysql.org in /export/mysql.
You can safely leave perl 5.6 from woody installed ond are advised so,
since it might be needed for satisfying system dependencies.
There are some things you have to tune manually afterwards:
- providing startup script for mysql4 instead of mysql3
- providing logrotate configuration file for mysql4
- tell rt Makefile, where it finds “its” perl
(export perl=/opt/perl/bin/perl; make …) - satisfy perl5.8 dependencies for rt
(we use CPAN and rt_test_dependencies for it) - copy the libperl.so from perl5.8 modperl into /usr/lib/apache/1.3/ and
enable it in apache/httpd.conf
Regards,
Dirk.
I would not recommend running Debian Sarge on a production system.
Its been a long time since Sarge was “stable” for production usage, imo.
apt pinning is the solution if any, but you’ll still have issues conserning
security-advisorices and patches.

Thanks for the advice. I’m still in the config/testing stages with RT at the
moment but I plan to get a decent-spec box up and running in the next week
or two and work towards a rollout. I think I’ll go for the apt pinning
method and see how it goes.
