RT and Apache 2

RT Users
1

What’s the status of RT and Apache 2? I am running that combination on
a RH8 box and have the problem that has been discussed at length here
with Constants.pm. The resolution I always see is to use Apache 1 and
modperl 1.

I really hate to say this, but I don’t think Apache 2 is going away. I
also don’t think RT has enough of a user base to change the development
direction of Apache or ModPerl. It would seem to me that we should be
addressing the issue and trying to move to current on Apache and
ModPerl.

I would be glad to do whatever as far as testing, etc., but I’m not a
perl programmer. I would also really like to get off Bugzilla onto a
more feature rich RT, but it will be running on Apache 2/RH8. When I
can do that, I’ll move.

Thanks

MJ

RT works just fine with Apache2. You just can’t use it with mod_perl,
since mod_perl 2 has not been released.

If you want to help it progress along to release state, then join the
mod_perl developers list and start hacking. Major improvements were
made just last week.

Another issue with apache2 and mod_perl is that the apache2 APIs have
not yet settled down, and mod_perl is very intimately integrated with
the server. The moving target of apache2 is not helping mod_perl get
finished any faster.

Incorrect on using it with mod_perl 2 part … I am using RT 3 under
Apache2 and mod_perl 1.99 for some time now. The code works just fine
using the compatbility mode.
