Installing as non-virual server

RT Users
1

I’d like to install rt as a subfolder of main html server, rather than
virtual, as I don’t have any other need for virtual hosts. How hard is
that? I don’t see documentation on it, all the installation docs presume
a virtual host.

Thanks to someone from this list I got a httpd.conf snippet allowing just that:

unfortunately I can’t access the server from here, so here’s the link with the
helpful mail (thanks Christian):

Take all the VirtualHost specific info, and put them into a
<Location /rt> … block. HTML::Mason, and therefore
WebRT and all that it entails, is designed to work on a
Location/Files/etc block, of which VirtualHost is merely a specialized
version.

Seems to be working in that sort of arrangement on our testbed server
pretty well. (And I did it, so it can’t have been to terribly hard.)

The important bit, as I recall, was making sure that $WebPath got set
correctly in /path-to-rt/etc/config.pm.

That might be the problem. Is this correct?
The server is http://loki.altamer.home and the URL for RT would be
http://loki.altamer.home/rt2/

$WebPath = “/var/www/rt2”;

This is the Scheme, server and port for constructing urls to webrt

$WebBaseURL doesn’t need a trailing /

$WebBaseURL = “http://RT::loki.altamer.home:80”;

$WebURL = $WebBaseURL . $WebPath . “/”;From: Roedel, Mark [mailto:MarkRoedel@letu.edu]

$WebBaseURL = “http://RT::loki.altamer.home:80”;

This looks funny to me (unless it’s just a typo).

Have you tried making it just
$WebBaseURL = “http://loki.altamer.home:80”;
?

Other than that, the snippet you posted substantially matches what I’ve
got.

Chris;

What you need to do first of all is to edit your httpd.conf and add the rt
alias as per Andraeas mail to you earlier;
and say you name the alias “rt2”(remember to restart httpd)

in /path-to-rt2/etc/config.pm
define the following as:

$WebPath = “/rt2”
$WebBaseURL = http://loki.altamer.home

and thats it; from a browser you will see the rt login at
http://loki.altamer.home/rt2/

Good Luck

Roy

Now I have the following, but it still doesn’t work, I get “Internal
Server Error” when I access http://loki.altamer.home/rt2

/var/www/rt2/etc/config.pm

$WebPath = “/rt2”;

$WebBaseURL = “http://loki.altamer.home”;

$WebURL = $WebBaseURL . $WebPath . “/”;
