Hi,
I’ve been trying to install RT on Redhat Linux running Apache 1.3.23 without
success.
The problem I have seems to be around which version of Mason is installed.
Originally I installed Mason via CPAN, hence 1.11 with the 2-0-13 release of
RT. This gave off several errors about Lexer and Compile no longer being
part of the Mason package.
I then went back and looked at the instructions on the website about
installing on RH 7.2 and found the instructions were written for Mason 1.04.
I regressed to this version, but then tripped over extensions to the API
made to the library since then that RT 2-0-13 requires.
After searching this mailing list archive I found this message:
http://lists.fsck.com/pipermail/rt-users/2002-July/008847.html
where it recommends using RT 2-0-14pre1 with Mason 1.10. I have tried this
combination with Mason 1.10 and 1.11 but get the same error when running
apachectl to test the config:
[root@nbingham]# apachectl configtest
Variable “$m” is not imported at /usr/local/rt2/bin/webmux.pl line 94.
[Fri Jul 5 09:17:09 2002] [error] Global symbol “$m” requires explicit

Can anyone point out what is wrong with this?
Thanks,

Yup… Download Mason-1.05 and all your troubles will go away.
Unfortunately I now get
line 90: Can’t call method “content_type” on an undefined value

87: # Set this page’s content type to whatever we are called with

with RT 2-0-14pre1

I’m using 2.0.13 with mason 1.05 - that’s what made the issue go away.
Of course, I’m having my own troubles getting this to work.
That has made no difference. For completeness my config files are:
mason.conf
PerlSetVar MasonCompRoot “/usr/local/rt2/WebRT/html”
PerlSetVar MasonDataDir “/etc/httpd/mason”
PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
<Directory “/usr/local/rt2/WebRT/html”>
<FilesMatch “(.html)$”>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
httpd.conf snippet
Include /etc/httpd/conf/mason.conf
Alias /rt/ /usr/local/rt2/WebRT/html/
Alias /rt /usr/local/rt2/WebRT/html
PerlRequire /usr/local/rt2/bin/webmux.pl
<Location /rt2>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler RT::Mason

Hi,
I’ve been trying to install RT on Redhat Linux running
Apache 1.3.23 without success.
After a week on holiday, and some other useful posts on this list I now have
an installed combination that doesn’t give the Mason errors. Turns out
Mason 1.02 and RT 2-0-13 work for me. Hohum.
However I am now getting Internal Server Errors. The Apache error log
gives:
[Mon Jul 15 15:25:12 2002] [error] Connect Failed Can’t connect to local
MySQL server through socket ‘/tmp/mysql.sock’ (2)
at /usr/local/rt2/lib/RT.pm line 27
I can connect to the database using the mysql binary and the rt2 username
and password. The config file has the correct username and password
specified (and apache has been stopped and restarted).
I am pretty confidant there isn’t a general MySQL problem as we are running
Bugzilla on this server too.
RT is unfortunately not writing logs to /tmp as per the config file. The RT
FAQ seems rather empty on this subject…
TIA,
Neil.

hmm…
I’d be rather suprised to find the mysql socket in /tmp. Something like
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock is far more likely. Check the setting in
/etc/my.conf, which should be something like
[mysqld]
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Then check that your perl modules are pointing to the same place.

Hello Neil,
in the mysql configuration you can look up where MySQL is creating it’s local
communications socket. This is either /tmp/mysql.sock or
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock or something around that.
You can easily fix this by either fixing Your mysql setup, or simply create a
link from the real location to /tmp/mysql.sock.
The reason this is not in the RT FAQ is that this really is a MySQL problem.

Harald

You’re right. MySQL is configured to use /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock.
Just symlinking /tmp/mysql.sock to that file makes it work. I’ve grep’d
down through all the RT source and can’t find a reference to /tmp/mysql.sock
Searching the /usr/lib/perl5 doesn’t produce a match either.
Strange.
Neil.

This could be dangerous if /usr/local and /tmp are not on the same
filesystem.

If you are using DBD::mysql without specifying a hostname, then
localhost and Unix domain socket are assumed. Have you set the hostname
in the etc/config.pm?

I left $DatabaseHost as the default “localhost”.
Incidentally I’ve been experimenting successfully with this for the last
couple of hours. So far it pretty much makes the installation hassle
worthwhile.
However one problem I have encountered is that requests emailed in from
users that don’t have RT accounts are being thrown out:
No permission to create tickets in the queue ‘general’.
I assume the Nobody user has CreateTicket privs but it isn’t listed in the
user list so I can’t check.
Anyone got any ideas on this one?
Thanks,
Neil.
Within RT, grant the Everyone group CreateTicket.
