Installation problems

Rafael · March 1, 2001, 8:35am

Hi,

As much as I would like to install and use this package it failed to do me
any good no matter what I try. I followed the instructions to install all
the necessary perl modules which work as expected.

Checking for DBI…found
Checking for Digest::MD5…found
Checking for CGI 2.71 …found
Checking for CGI::Cookie 1.16 …found

Tried rt-1.0.6 and rt-1.0.7, to no avail.

I have a user

rt:x:402:402:Request Tracker:/export/home/rt:/bin/bash

ls /opt/rt
bin etc lib transactions

ls /opt/rt/bin/
admin-webrt.cgi rt rtadmin rtmux.pl.orig suid_wrapper
cgi rt-mailgate rtmux.pl rtq webrt.cgi

ls /export/home/httpd/cgi-bin/rt/
admin-webrt.cgi auth.pm manipulate.pm webrt.cgi
admin.pm forms.pm support.pm

RT_BIN_PATH = $(RT_PATH)/bin
RT_LIB_PATH = $(RT_PATH)/lib
RT_ETC_PATH = $(RT_PATH)/etc
RT_BIN_PATH = $(RT_PATH)/bin
RT_CGI_PATH = /export/home/httpd/cgi-bin/rt

Apache log:

What a heck I’m doing wrong here?

Thanks,

Sounds like you’ve got some sort of mysql permissions problem.
Sometimes this happens if you try to use odd metacharacters in your
mysql password, like ! " \ etc…

are you getting any mysql errors during install?On Thu, Mar 01, 2001 at 12:35:28AM -0800, Rafael wrote:

mysql password, like ! " \ etc…

I think I used only alphanumeric characters and did edit passwd before
make install.

are you getting any mysql errors during install?

No, there were no errors that I can recall. The install script created rt
table the first time. I don’t have time to deal with this right now, the
firewall and a few other issues are more critical but I’ll revisit RT
hopefuly next week.

As other email suggested I most likely have problem with permissions in
mysql. However, I was able to see the rt table with webmin. I could also
edit it if I new what I was doing

I will revisit this in a few days and probably need to pick a book or
something to learn about mysql. The GUI that is available is not very
clear if you are not familiar with mysql.

Thanks guys,

I’m having an issue at the tail end of the RT2 installation, everything installed fine, however when I try to bring up the Admin web interface or login using an account I created at command line, I end up with a 500 server error…

The Apache logs show the following:

perl -MCPAN -e’install CGI’

This is scary. I’m imagining tracerouting you and seeing links like “Route
84” and “Route 9, Exit 14”. Obviously, this is illness induced.

If I’m asking in the wrong place please let me know.

I’ve installed RT and so far everything looks good. I have not yet
setup my mail gateway because it requires some upstream mail server
changes that are not my department. I assumed, however, that outbound
mail from RT would work. I’ve created a test ticket in the system, and
tried to add a requestor/email address to the ticket and recieve the
following error. It’s possible this is a bug but with so many moving
pieces of RT I’m willing to bet I did something wrong.

Quantifier follows nothing in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/* <–
HERE @rt.censored.com/ at
/www/php5/rt.censored.com/rt/bin/…/lib/RT/EmailParser.pm line 331.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can we see your RT_SiteConfig.pm? Also, what version of RT? It looks
like you might have configured $RTAddressRegexp with an invalid regular
expression.

This is for RT 3.8.8

I was actually pretty confused about what the RTAddressRegexp should
look like, and how it should be written (in quotes, in //'s, etc).

Set( $rtname, ‘rt.censored.com’);
Set($Timezone , ‘US/Pacific’);

Set($DatabaseHost , ‘services’);
Set($DatabaseRTHost , ‘localhost’);
Set($DatabaseUser , ‘rt’);
Set($DatabasePassword , ‘censored’);
Set($DatabaseName , ‘rt’);

Set($OwnerEmail , ‘censored’);

Set($CorrespondAddress , ‘rt@censored.com’);
Set($CommentAddress , ‘rt@censored.com’);

Set( $WebDomain, ‘rt.censored.com’ );
Set($RTAddressRegexp , ‘*@censored.com’);

This is my first stab at RT so I’m not sure if I’m missing any other
essential config values, but this is all I have in that file.On Fri, Aug 6, 2010 at 5:17 PM, Thomas Sibley trs@bestpractical.com wrote:

Set($RTAddressRegexp , ‘*@censored.com’);

Quotes are fine. The problem is indeed that *@censored.com isn’t a
valid regex. It’s also unlikely what you actually want.
$RTAddressRegexp should match only the addresses that RT uses, not any
of your users’ addresses. As perldoc etc/RT_Config.pm says:

“C<$RTAddressRegexp> is used to make sure RT doesn’t add itself as a
ticket CC if the setting above is enabled. It is important that you set
this to a regular expression that matches all addresses used by your RT.
This lets RT avoid sending mail to itself.”

Given these settings:

Set($CorrespondAddress , ‘rt@censored.com’);
Set($CommentAddress , ‘rt@censored.com’);

You likely want: Set($RTAddressRegexp, ‘^rt@censored.com$’);

If you’ve configured other queue addresses already, you should add them
as well, like so:

Set($RTAddressRegexp, ‘^(?:rt|other|athird)@censored.com$’);

Hope that helps,
Thomas
