Linux versions supported

Hello.

I remember being advised against using Red Hat version 8 with RT. Is
this version still recommended against ? I would also like to know if
Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 and United Linux 1.0 (SLES 8) are
recommended. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

It works great on RH 8.0. You should recompile Mysql (for RT3) and
Apache + mod_perl and I’d suggest using CPAN for all the perl modules,
but it works great on RH 8.0 as long as you’re willing to do some work
beyond stock .rpms.

Hello.

I recommended not using RedHat ver. 9 without careful checking. It
worked for me after building most of the components used for RT 3 myself
(apache, perl, mysql, mod_fastcgi) and changing some of the system
defaults (setting LANG=C) before starting to compile any of the
components used. RedHat 8 works fine in my experience.

I would also like to know if
Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 and United Linux 1.0 (SLES 8) are
recommended. Any help would be appreciated.

I cannot comment on those two as I have no experience with them.

Harald

Not really an answer to your question but RT3.0.0 has now been
accepted into Debian/unstable. There should be an upload of 3.0.2
soonish as well. Given a couple of weeks it should make it into
testing. This means that all the dependencies and most common
configurations are supported out of the box. We’re currently working
on Debconf support as well to make configuration really easy.

Yes! Congratulations! I will see if I can test this on our debian test
machine soon…

Also not really answering your question, but We’ve been putting a lot of work
into getting it ready for Gentoo as well. I successfully have it installed on
one Gentoo system and it will work as long as you let the ebuild use CPAN. I’m
trying to get around that though so it’s taking some time to work out
dependencies.

Would it be possible to get a backport for woody, too? Running unstable
or testing for critical servers gets me nervous.

You could take only RT from testing and keep the rest of your server stable.
