Running 3.8.11 and 4.0.5 on the same box?

We want to install 4.0.5 alongside our working 3.8.11
setup, and keep 3.8.11 working while some folks check
out 4.0.5.

Does anyone know if the deps for 4.0.5 will screw up
a running 3.8.10 instance?

I always build a dedicated Perl for each instance frontended by fcgid,
so this is never a problem. Just did exactly this for our rt4 upgrade
– had it in parallel with 3.8.x for quite some time before we pulled
the trigger. Disk is cheap :).

Depends on how 3.8.10 is installed. If instance is separated from perl
@INC then it’s easier.

Shouldn’t, but it’s possible and happened before with older versions.

So, if I build my own separate Perl for RT 4.0.5,
how do I make Red Hat’s mod_perl 2 use that Perl?

Seems like a very dark and long rabbit hole…On 2/20/2012 2:18 PM, Jeff Blaine wrote:

Do you really need apache/mod_perl for testing? Use rt-server that
forks in RT 4.0 and can serve multiple clients unlike standalone
server in RT 3.8.> On 2/20/2012 2:18 PM, Jeff Blaine wrote:
