RT 3.8.2 from 3.4.2

Hi,

We have a 6 year old install of RT 3.4.2 running on fedora core 2, I want
to update this to the newest version - 3.8.2. As we need to use RT most of
the time I am currently testing the new version on a different PC.
(intention is to schedule some downtime once my test version is working to
rebuild the original).

I have done a mysql dump, and imported it onto a new fresh build of fedora
10 with mysql 5 and apache 2, however if i do this, when browsing RT i get
logged out every 30 seconds or so. If i setup a new install without
importing the data this does not happen… very strange?

Also, I can’t see how to setup RT to talk to my mailserver? I’ve found a
bit about /etc/aliases but can’t see anywhere for it to point to the IP of
my mailserver? Does anyone have any ideas?

Any help appreciated,

Regards,

Guy.

Hi Guy,

I just did this for our RT server, upgrading from 3.4.5 to 3.8.6 without
any major problems. Did you follow all of the steps in UPGRADING.mysql
after the import, including:

upgrade-mysql-schema.pl
rt-setup-database
shrink_cgm_table.pl

Also, I can’t see how to setup RT to talk to my mailserver? I’ve
found a
bit about /etc/aliases but can’t see anywhere for it to point to the
IP of
my mailserver? Does anyone have any ideas?

As little as I know about this area, I could point out that there are
2 files that you need to be concerned with (main.cf & master.cf). The
file that contains your IP addr. ( & mail relays, etc.) is “main.cf”,
and the safe way to edit “main.cf” is by using “postconf”.

Secondly, /etc/aliases file is where you place your rt-mailgate bits (ManualEmailConfig - Request Tracker Wiki
), but it has nothing to do with you IP addr… Once you make your
changes to your /etc/aliases file, then you need to go through a few
steps to make sure the changes you made to the /etc/aliases database
take effect (i.e.,:
shell> sudo postalias /etc/aliases
shell> sudo newaliases

Hope that helps
