Have you read anything about how RT works? Such as
the installation
instructions? Mason is the macro/scripting language
much of RT is
written in. It’s a method of embedding Perl code in
HTML documents.
It won’t get interpreted outside its specific
environment within a
webserver.

Don’t “run” those files from the “folder” but
view
them via a Web server
that understands Mason.

You didn’t give us any info that is required to help you thus you should
be polite and answer the questions which you shouldn’t answer if you ask
questions smart.

I run apache on frebsd.
Apache server has VESRSION as FreeBSD has too.

  • From README:
    3.1 Check for missing dependencies:

       make testdeps

What does it output?

  • What do you get if you run next?

perl -MHTML::Mason -e ‘print $HTML::Mason::VERSION .“\n”’

Regarding whether i want to use mod_perl or FastCGI,
well
i dont know. What are the differences?
What is better? What will run faster for alot of users
requests?
What hardware specs do i need?

Regarding whether i want to use mod_perl or FastCGI,
well
i dont know. What are the differences?

Mod_perl is a perl interpreter linked/embedded within each
httpd (web server) process. FastCGI is a stand-alone perl process
that communicates directly with the httpd. Both solve the
problem of having to load perl and parse the script for every
request.

What is better? What will run faster for alot of users
requests?

There is probably no speed difference with equally well
tuned systems. Mod_perl is easier if you have a lot of
different perl-based applications since you don’t have to
set up separate handlers for each. FastCGI is easier to
tune for one or a few applications because you can control
how many perl processes to keep running for each since
you set them up separately.
