Problem installing RTFM with RT on Gentoo

Hi, I’m having a problem getting RTFM installed, hopefully someone has a
suggestion…

The setup:
RT 3.4.3 on Gentoo, installed via portage. This is working fine

RTFM 2.0.4
In the Makefile I should change the location of rt, but to what? RT
seems to be installed in /var/www/<my.domain.name>/rt-3.4.3
If I try using this path, all the files are installed and the database
tables are created. However there is no trace of RTFM in the
webinterface of RT.

i have also tried the other seemingly logical paths for location, but
with nearly the same results. One difference is that the only path (in
Makefile for RTFM) that make the database installer availibe is the one
above.

So, any suggestions anyone?

Thanks

I assume you are stopping your web server, flushing the mason cache, and
then starting your web server. Right?

If so, try the 2.1.x development releases of RTFM.

Yes, the webserver has been restarted and
I think I have removed all the cache objects.

If so, try the 2.1.x development releases of RTFM.

Looking into that now. How stable is this release? I mean, it’s a dev
release, but is it usable?

Thanks for the tip

Your HTML::Mason version? Are other callbacks working?

I am running RT-3.4.4+RTFM-2.0.4 on Gentoo but I didn’t use portage for
it (there was only old version on a time of install).

HTML::Mason v1.30

Not sure what you mean by callbacks. Everything in (standard) RT is
working properly. RTFM is the first extra module I’m installing.

I am running RT-3.4.4+RTFM-2.0.4 on Gentoo but I didn’t use portage for
it (there was only old version on a time of install).

I should maybe go back to using the manual install, it’s probably the
webapp stuff in the ebuild that’s messing things up.

Try updating to the latest (at least 1.31) from CPAN first.

I’ve tried that, but still the same thing.

It seems like RT just doesn’t know that RTFM is installed.

I’m going to try the devel version tomorrow.
