RT and RedHat 8

Are there any known pitfalls to installing RT on a RH 8 box? I have tried
twice with no luck. Just wondering if there is a compatibility issue that I
missed.

Thaks!

I believe RHL 8.0 ships with Apache 2.0.
I’ve heard that Apache 2.0 is flaky with Perl. Or is that PHP. Or both. I forget which…

RH8’s mod_perl is an experimental release, which is not known to be
stable at all times. You could ry driving RT via fastcgi.

On a similar thread…

I’m currently still running with good ol’ RT 1.0.7.

I’m going to be attempting to install RT2.xx.xx (whatever the latest version
is in 4-6 weeks time) on a Linux box in the near future.

I don’t really care which version of Linux I use providing it’s a reasonably
recent one. But I’d like to know the installation is going to work before I
start.

I’ve got experience with Mandrake and easy access to Redhat CD’s.

So,
. what version of RT are people using?

. and on what version of Linux?

. and (if known) what specific hoops did you
have to jump through to get it to install on your
version of Linux?

Presumably this could make a useful addition to the installation notes,
which when discussing specifics, just seem to talk you through installing on
Debian (unknown version, or maybe I just missed it), Redhat7.2, and Solaris
8?

cheers,

Ian

I am running 2.0.15 here.

. and on what version of Linux?

RedHat 7.3 + All updates. Apache is 1.3.27. mod_fastcgi 2.2.12. perl-5.6.1-34.99.6.
RHDB 2.1 (which is essentially postgresql 7.2.3).

. and (if known) what specific hoops did you
have to jump through to get it to install on your
version of Linux?

The RT dependency tree - no question about it :slight_smile: Some of them are
available as RPMs in RedHat 7.3, but some are not. Unfortunately,
I didn’t save the order in which I installed them. All are available
from CPAN, but somehow the CPAN shell never works for me.

Thanks for all the replies. I read in another post that someone was able to
set it up with a pretty standard RH 7.2 install so I’m going to try that
first.
