RTIR 2.4.0rc1

Now that RT 3.8.1 has been released, I’m happy to announce a new
release candidate for RTIR. This version of RTIR should work fine on
RT 3.8.1 only. You should not try to use this with RT 3.8.0 or older
versions.

This version is an almost complete renewal of the code base to
integrate RTIR with the latest RT and its features. New features have
been added and a lot of things have been cleaned up, fixed and
replaced with RT’s base components.

You can download the release candidate from:

Hi Ruz,
I have some problems to install RT-IR under fresh RT 3.8.1 with RTFM 2.4.0rc1 installed.

Installed like explained in README from Package.

Added the following to my RT_SiteConfig.pm:
Set($rtname, ‘rt38-messenger.int.kn’);
Set($Organization , “rt38-messenger.int.kn”);
Set($Timezone , ‘GMT’);
Set($DatabaseType , ‘mysql’);
Set($DatabaseHost , ‘localhost’);
Set($DatabaseRTHost , ‘localhost’);
Set($DatabasePort , ‘’);
Set($DatabaseUser , ‘rt38_user’);
Set($DatabasePassword , ‘password’);
Set($DatabaseName , ‘rt38’);
Set($DatabaseRequireSSL , undef);
Set($WebDomain, ‘rt3-messenger.int.kn’ );
Set($WebBaseURL, ‘http://’ . RT->Config->Get(‘WebDomain’) . ‘:’ . RT->Config->Get(‘WebPort’));
Set($AutoLogoff, 30);
Set($OldestTransactionsFirst, ‘0’);
Set($DontSearchFileAttachments, 1);
Set(@Active_MakeClicky, qw());
Set($UseTransactionBatch, 1);
Set($EnableReminders, 1);
Set(@Plugins, ‘RT::FM’, ‘RT::IR’);
1;

After this i get the following error from apache error log:
