Installation problem

Hello,

I’d installed a brand new RT, RTFM installation. Everything works OK I
can login my tickets are being created, …

Then I installed RTIR exactly how README file says, now I’m getting in
apache error_log:
[Tue Nov 24 15:42:35 2009] [error] [client x.x.x.x] Global symbol

/opt/rt3/local/plugins/RT-IR/lib/RT/IR.pm line 240.\nCompilation

My RT_SiteConfig.pm has:
Set(@Plugins, ‘RT::FM’, ‘RT::IR’);

Do you have any clue?

Thanks,

I reverted line 193 to what it was in 2.4.1. I don’t what the correct
answer is but that “works” for me.

I’m getting the following error when running “make install” - could you give me a pointer as to what
I’ve done wrong please?

Sounds like the permissions on either /opt /opt/rt or and/or
/opt/rt/transactions are wrong.

Now sorted thanks, my root user is actually an admin user (I’m running on a virtual server you see)
and wasn’t in the rt group.

Hello,

I am having trouble installing RT onto Redhat Linux 7. This is the order
that I am installing dependencies:

  1. installed mysql server v3.23.41
  2. installed the following perl modules for mysql:
    Data Dumper
    DBI 1.20
    Msql-Mysql module v 1.2216
  3. Install Apache server with mod_per according to the instructions in
    www.helgrim.com/rtdocs/installation.html
  4. Install rest of perl module dependencies that are listed using the
    ‘make testdeps’ command in the rt installation directory.
  5. Configure a servername to loop back to my machine’s IP address by adding
    the appropriate line in /etc/hosts
  6. Add the virtual host in apache’s httpd.conf file as described in the
    documentation at www.helgrim.com/rtdocs/installation.html. Note: the same
    servername that added to /etc/hosts is used as the servername directive in
    the virtualhost entry. Similarly, the IP address in the opening virtualhost
    tag is the same IP address that specified in the /etc/hosts file

Is there a particular order I should install modules or applications? Are
there any module versions I should stay away from? Does the ‘make testdeps’
command accurately display what modules I have or don’t have?

Any help would be appreciated. I need to set this bad boy up for my company
and I am running out of time. Thanks

Yo!

I’m trying to install rt (2.0.13) on a Debian/testing box (when will the
debian pkg be ready?)

As I am not a perl programmer at all, I’ve not investigated further. But
I haven’t found anything relevant on the archives on a quick search,
either.

any hints?

Hi

I’m trying to install rt (2.0.13) on a Debian/testing box (when will the debian pkg be ready?)
I don´t know when the debian package will be ready, but i just installed rt on a sililar System (woddy). I worked without any problems. Check the dependencies, surly on or two will not be fullfilled. You can do this with the testdeps tool in the /tools directory, as descibed in the README. If you have all dependencies satisfied, check your installtion of mysql.

What DBD::mysql? You need a recent DBD::mysql to support database
transactions. RT 3.0.0 doesn’t enforce a recent enough dependency.

I have successfully installed RT 3.03 on a non-production box to get
familiar with it and had no problems. I am now installing it on a Redhat
7.3 running kernel 2.4.21 and keep getting the error listed below. I’m at a
loss as to why this is failing. The rt3 database is being created and
populated with some records.

I have all the correct modules installed per “make perl
sbin/rt-test-dependencies --with-mysql --with-modperl1”. I reinstalled the
DBD::mysql-2.1028 just to make sure it wasn’t a mysql lib problem.

Here is the error. Any ideas?

Everything appears to be unpacked and installed correctly. However, when
I finally go to perform the “make --initialize-database” and am prompted
for the dba password, I get nothing. This means that I type the
password, hit enter, and get no response from the system. After a few
minutes, I get the following error message:

OS is RH Linux 9.0
The database in use is Postgres 7.3

Help would be appreciated as I’ve been struggling for acouple weeksnow
with getting RT installed and working.

are you sure that vg-linux.corp.varistygold.com is the right host? it
looks like a typo to me.

seph

That is the correct hostname.

There is both an “A” record and a “CNAME” record for “vg-linux” and
"vg-linux-01" respectively.

Either you’ve made a cut’n’paste error transcribing the error in your

nature of your internal DNS structure - I highly doubt that your
internal DNS structure contains:

varistygold.com

N.B. the transposition of characters. If your DNS structure is put
together this way, please accept my apologies and smack those who
administer your DNS. :slight_smile:

The problem is partly concealed by someone (http://dp.information.com/
?)
sitting on the mis-spelled domain name, so the mis-typed address
vg-linux.corp.varistygold.com does in fact resolve.

Thanks to everyone for your help. It appears that my typo was the source
of my frustration–or at least part of my frustration. :wink:

Re-running ‘make initialize-database’ this morning after correcting
everything (essentially re-'make’ing the package) has allowed me to
progress a bit.

Attempting fresh installation of RT 3.4.4 (along with 3.5.2 just in
case) onto Mac OS X 10.4.2 Server with Oracle 10g (10.1.0.3.0). All
dependencies installed successfully, make install returns cleanly.
make initdb fails, however, with the following:

Any suggestions? This is actually a dry run for a migration target –
I hope to migrate from Postgres/Fedora, so if principal creation is
failing that would be resolved by sucking in data from postgres, that
will happen eventually.

Thanks!
