Hi
I have just installed (yesterday) rt (3.6.1) on opensuse 10.1 - and added a couple of pages on the experience to the wiki:
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?OpenSuSE101InstallGuide
This is the first time I have ever installed/used: Apache, Mysql, perl, cpan (and of course rt) - so my apologies if this is all a bit mundane. I have searched the last 6 months or so of the mailing lists but have not found anything on point.
I would like to produce reports which show (among other things) the detail of the issue which initiated ticket, and the most recent comment added to the ticket. Can someone point to somewhere which explains how to do this? Happy, subject to the next question, to do this through the CLI or through query builder.
I have found the rt shell, but when I try to (eg) list/show tickets it asks for a password and fails. I have tried the password from RTSiteConfig.pm without success. Which password is it looking for?
I have tried downloading a tsv of the search results, but what I get is ?perl? code. I assume this means I need to add something to the Apache config file somewhere (? presumably adding a perl handler directive for some directory? - ?rt/Search/?)
I have managed to search a custom field using the advanced query builder, but can’t seem to get it to display the field in the report (the field name is displayed, but the result entry is blank - I have added it from the drop downs at the bottom of the page - the CF naming syntax appears to change). Generic question I know, but anywhere will tell me what is likely to be going wrong?
Thanks in advance
Brendan

It’s ok, don’t worry I will work it out myself.

It’s looking for your the username/password you use to log into RT rather
than the RT Database Password.

It sounds like something isn’t quite right in your apache config then. Can
you use the Search Builder for example at present? If you’re getting perl
code, it seems like mason isn’t handling the file properly. It might be a
good idea to check your Apache access and error logs to see if there’s
anything out of the ordinary being mentioned about the Results.tsv file
I have managed to search a custom field using the advanced query builder,
but can’t seem to get it to display the field in the report (the field name

I’m not entirely sure what you mean here. Can you give a more detailed
example, or perhaps paste the text from the bottom box of the Advanced tab?

I think I’ve seen a few replies to the list about some of the things I’ve
mentioned. Perhaps you should check back in case you missed them.

Thanks for responding Andrew.

Is this not documented anywhere?

Hmmmm still no dice. I guess I need to work out how to set the user correctly.

I added a filesmatch → *.tsv? → PerlHandler RT::Mason directive to the apache2 rtconfig file, restarted and it is now working (based on one test)

The CF I wanted was in reality an additional status flag, so I have achieved what I wanted another way.

Can’t see any in the archives.
