New install on Gentoo--Undefined subroutine &RT::M ason::handler

RT Users

The guide shows how to install with virtual hosting. I am not using
virtual
hosting, so I have tried to make the appropriate changes to the apache
configs.

What “appropriate changes” did you make?

I added this to /etc/apache/conf/commonapache.conf…

LoadModule perl_module extramodules/libperl.so AddModule mod_perl.c

<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/rt>
Options -All -Multiviews
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
allow from all

<Location /rt>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler RT::Mason
PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB /usr/lib

…rather than doing it the virtual hosts way.

When apache starts it notes that mod_perl is already on, so it’s skipping my
turning it on here. So that’s probably redundant. But it doesn’t seem to
have hurt it.

Where did you put the following lines listed in the README?

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
PerlModule Apache::DBI
PerlRequire /opt/rt3/bin/webmux.pl

Ummmm…nowhere. Oops. :slight_smile:

After putting them in commonapache.conf, I’m no longer getting the error
message in the subject line. Now I’m just getting a 404:

The requested URL /rt/index.html was not found on this server.

…when /var/www/localhost/htdocs/rt quite clearly contains this:

Hmmmm. Not sure why Firefox is asking for the favicon twice.

Anyway, in the browser window it says:

Not Found
The requested URL /rt/index.html was not found on this server.

10.12.32.200 - - [16/Mar/2005:09:34:49 -0600] “GET /rt/ HTTP/1.1” 404 297

This shows that the browser is trying to access the rt directory.
How is DirectoryIndex defined?

Not Found
The requested URL /rt/index.html was not found on this server.

The only things that come to mind at the moment are:

  1. The document root is not correct such that the rt directory does not
    occur under the current document root.
  2. The permissions of the rt directory or a parent directory do not
    allow access by apache.
  3. The rt directory (or parent directory) doesn’t exist or is misspelled.
  4. index.html doesn’t really exist or is misspelled.
  5. The permissions on index.html don’t allow apache to read it.
  6. You are trying to access the /rt/ directory and DirectoryIndex does
    not include index.html as one of the default documents.
  7. Your setup is a little quirky and requires the Rewrite rule to
    map directory access to the index.html document. This was discussed
    a few days ago on the list and should be in the Wiki somewhere.

Hmmmm. Here is how DirectoryIndex is defined, in commonapache.conf:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.php3 index.shtml index.cgi
index.pl index.htm Default.htm default.htm

The permissions, etc that you mention all seem to be in order.

Would it help if I sent full copies of some of my config files? and/or
directory listings?

At this point you need to get to know your system intimately through some
debugging/investigative work. I have given you all of the pointers I can,
unless someone else knows something. If you can’t make your current
configuration work, then you need to think about setting up a virtual host
as described in the README.
