I’m trying to get v3.7.5 installed as a tester in order to see all of it’s
glorious wonders. However, it appears to require Apache::Request which seems to
require mod_perl < 1.99.
mod_perl 1.x ( < 1.99) is required at Makefile.PL line 34.
Is this right? Can I not use this with mod_perl 2.x? Or even 1.99 for that
matter? I’m testing the installation on RHEL 5. So far I’ve got everything
installed except this module. I manually installed XML::RSS v1.22 which
installed fine but still comes up as MISSING.
In the past, modules which have been manually installed but still show up as
MISSING don’t break the system and the only thing that seems to not recognize it
as being installed is ‘make testdeps’. So XML::RSS isn’t a concern right now.
However, if I can’t even install Apache::Request due to dependency on an old
mod_perl how am I to get this to work?

Sounds like you might have not thrown the right flags at ‘configure’,
maybe? We’re now doing more autodetection.
Or even 1.99 for that matter?
1.99 was the beta series for 2.0. And there were Big Problems.

That’s really odd. Did it pass its tests? Is there only one system perl?

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/rt-3.7.5 --with-db-type=mysql
–with-db-database=rt3_devel --with-db-rt-user=rt_user --with-db-rt-pass=xxxxxxx
Are there other flags I don’t know about?

There is only one perl that I can tell. 5.8.8. I ran 'find / -name ‘perl*’ and
it only listed 5.8.8. As far as passing its tests, I believe so. I even went
into CPAN and attempted to install it again. It said it is up to date.

I updated CPAN and am now getting something a bit more useful as far as errors go:
Failed during this command:
STAS/libapreq-1.33.tar.gz : writemakefile NO ‘/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL’
returned status 2304
Erk…I keep finding things that might be of use after I send out an email on
this. The latest thing I found is that running ‘make testdeps’ lists MODPERL1
dependencies under which the Apache::Request is missing. Am I not using a flag
that should tell it to use mod_perl2?

I downloaded libapreq2 from the apache site and installed it manually. It

Eventually, I got those sorted out. So, Apache::Request is installed however,
‘make testdeps’ still shows it as missing. I guess because it is looking for a
different version.
I can’t say if it works properly just yet as I haven’t ported a test version of
our current database over. Are there any changes to the schema that would
prevent a direct copy or will I need to actually run upgrades on it?
At the training in Feb. you mentioned that the next release (v3.8) would include
PGP support. Is this still in the works? I don’t see anything in the
configuration for such a thing.
Out of the gate, it looks like it might be a bit faster, but then, that could be
because I’m using a faster server. We’ll see what happens when I get the
database ported over.
Are the css files identical to v3.6? I’ve made color changes and would be happy
if I don’t have to make them again.

There should be a flag --with-modperl2 or --with-web-handler=modperl2.
–help should be able to tell you precisely.
