I have implemented RT5 on Ubuntu 20.04. RT5 is behaving odd, It is working fine in standalone mode but when I try to run with apache it is giving me the error " Internal Server Error" on the browser.
Logs file “apache2.error” under the "/opt/rt5/var/log/ showing error as below.

I searched many articles but didn’t get any solution even I scraped the system and build it according to sites.
If you turn on debugging in RT temporarily do you can any errors from the RT side of things?
Are the Linux file system rights setup correctly for the Ubuntu apache user/group?
Oooh, and is SELinux in the mix? Always one to catch me out in unexpected ways.
Error which I’m getting is

It is a Ubuntu, so nothing do with SELINUX.
What is the result of running ls -l /opt/rt5/sbin?

Hmm those look correct to me, are you using prefork MPM as your MPM?
Yes it is prefork
root@rt:/etc/apache2/mods-available# apache2ctl -M | grep mpm
mpm_prefork_module (shared)
root@rt:/etc/apache2/mods-available#
Since it works alone in standalone mode I am still tempted to think it is linux rights. Maybe the var/mason_data directory is weird. Can you try running make fixperms from the unpacked source code?
root@rt:/opt/rt-5.0.1# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal
root@rt:/opt/rt-5.0.1#
Run the command “make fixperms” but same issue.

Does the webpage spin and then show the error or immediatly throw the error?If it spins it could be a timeout if the connection is taking a while for some reason, you can try adding the following configs:
FcgidConnectTimeout 120
FcgidMaxRequestLen 1073741824
FcgidIOTimeout 120
FcgidBusyTimeout 120
To /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/fcgid.conf
Same result on web page as well as in log file.
Can anyone provide me a step by step authenticated docs? So at least I can match with my setup.
Have you verified that Apache (www-data) has permissions to write to the request tracker log folder?
I installed (RT 5.0.1) from source on Ubuntu 20.04 myself, and got it running under apache2 but I had to fix the log folder permissions for request tracker (not the apache log).
In my /opt/rt5/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm file the Set($LogDir… statement sets logs to be written into /var/log/rt5/, but only root had the ability to write into there originally.
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/log/rt5
resolved this for me…
Hi, I bumped into the same error as how the topic says… Did anyone by luck got the solution for it?
Did the chown on the log directory above not help?
Well it didn’t help, but I guess I shouldn’t have to be connected as ‘‘root@rt’’, but as the rt_user@rt. So most likely there was a problem from the veery beginning so I will do necessary fixes,checks and will restart to configure on tomorrow morning and will write back the feedback here.
