I started anew with an upgrade of RT 3.8 to 4.0 in a new directory, and got the
system up and running, however the menu in the left-hand side is not visible,
nor is the top pane that normally should say:
“Logged in as Roberto J. Hoyle | Preferences | Logout”
I can view the source of the page and see the menu in the HTML, but it is
not visible when the page loads.
Any hints as to what may be causing this? The URL for the site is
https://libdesign.dartmouth.edu/rt/index.html

The new 4.0 default theme is different than the 3.8 one. Take a look at
the screenshots here: Request Tracker... So much more than a help desk — Best Practical Solutions

We can’t see that since it’s behind Dartmouth’s webauth. Can you post a
screenshot and browser information?

You don’t, by chance, have mod_speling enabled do you?
When I started testing 4.0.1 I had mod_speling enabled to fix capitalization, and that broke the RT menus.

I noticed that there seems to be a display issue with Internet Explorer 9, where “Web2” is the chosen display theme . Safari renders it fine, but I haven’t tried any others.
Could this be your issue?

Web2 isn’t the default theme on RT4, aileron is, but yours is the
first report I’ve seen of incompatibilities with IE9 and the web2
themes on RT4
If you’re seeing problems, please report them to the bugtracker with
screenshots.

Thanks, James! That was exactly my problem. Disabling mod_speling
brought the menus out.

I’d be fascinated to know what URL it is breaking so we can add a note
to the documentation.

I know this is stale, and I am hoping that Roberto gave you more information.
I have had just a little bit of time to play with this, and it is really odd to me.
With mod_speling turned on, none of the drop-down menus in the title field are there.
(Everything from “logged on as…” and to the left.
Same behavior with IE8 and Firefox 3.6/Firefox 5.
But if I look at the HTML source for the page, I can find the menus in the source!
There are no errors in the Apache logs. From Apache’s point of view everything was sent to the client as it should have been.
I suppose that there is something breaking in the css that is telling the browser not to display the menus.
I’m not at all a web designer though, so I have a hard time following what is going on.
If you have anything specific you would like me to try, just let me know.

Unfortunately, no, I haven’t received any further information.
Look at the top of your HTML source for the css and js links,
something like /NoAuth/css/*squished and /NoAuth/js/*squished
and try loading them to see what error you get

I found one error, but unfortunately fixing it didn’t resolve the issue. With mod_speling enabled, and check spelling turned on this line in the code generates and error:

Available documents:

I went looking for ckeditor.js thinking it would be an easy fix. Editing request_tracker4/html/Elements/HeaderJavascript to correct the path (it should be /rt/NoAuth/RichText/ckeditor/ckeditor.js, at least with the Debian Wheezy package installation) doesn’t seem to fix it though.
After I fixed the path in HeaderJavascript I restarted apache, and the source code still shows the same incorrect path to ckeditor.js, and I get this Internet Explorer error:

The path we request is actually correct.
Loading ckeditor.js directly is going to cause issues down the road.
The problem is that RT intentionally requests numerous things that
don’t exist on disk. We use HTML::Mason’s dhandler functionality to
then dynamically serve the proper thing.
It sounds like the only solution is to add a note to
web_deployment.pod and then in a future release provide configs for
turning this and mod_cache off.
Thanks for your help in researching this.

Hmm, that’s too bad. I am primarily interested in users being able to get to SelfService even if they manually type in selfservice, etc.
Most of them will follow links, but eventually someone will type it and not get the right address. Probably mod_rewrite to catch common errors is the solution here.

No worries. Sorry it took so long!

Your Unprivileged RT users can just go to http://your.rt.server/ and
after login we’ll redirect them to /SelfService/. There’s no need for
them to remember the URL.
