RT 3 on solaris 9 x86 no connection to syslog

Ok, new problem - I have the WebUI running finally - but got this problem
and would like some suggestions:

Logged in as root I:

  • Click the “New Ticket In” button with the default (and only queue)
    selected
  • I enter a subject
  • I put some details in to describe the issue
  • I click Create and get the following error (full long error text included
    below)

Hi all,

I tried adding “Set($LogToFile , ‘debug’);” in
/opt/rt3/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm and got an error in apache’s error_log “Log
directory /opt/rt3/var/log not found or couldn’t be written.” so I chowned
“Log directory /opt/rt3/var/log” to www:www and gave the group write
permission (e.g. “drwxrwxr-x 2 www www 512 Feb 16 17:21
log”).

This create the file rt.log after an apache restart, but I got the same
errors in the webUI on creation of a ticket and the following in rt.log

I also tried adding “Set($LogToSyslog , undef);” and “Set($LogToScreen
, ‘error’);” and performing an apache stop:start but same webUI errors, but
nothing in rt.log. :-(----- Original Message -----

Have you read the FAQ? The RT FAQ Manager lives at http://fsck.com/rtfm

Ok, this seems to be resolved now:

The fix for me was to set the following lines in BOTH RT_SiteConfig.pm AND
RT_Config.pm :

Set($LogToSyslog , undef);
Set($LogToScreen , ‘error’);
Set($LogToFile , ‘debug’);
Set($LogDir, ‘/opt/rt3/var/log’);
Set($LogToFileNamed , “rt.log”); #log to rt.log

Is this a bug?

Why do the entries in RT_SiteConfig.pm not override those in RT_Config.pm?

They do, except when you Set($something, undef). It’s a
known limitation.

Setting (in your case) LogToSyslog to ‘’ (an empty string)
should be a suitable workaround.
