To all,

The regular guy who has done our installs before is no longer
available, so I ended up with this little task. In trying to install
3.8.1, I ran into a couple problems. We do not use the default /opt/rt
directory, but a different one. I had instructions to run a
“configuration” module that consisted of:

./configure
–prefix=/xxxx/rt/rt-3.8.1
–with-mod_perl=yes
–with-rt-group=rt
–with-bin-owner=rt
–with-libs-owner=rt
–with-libs-group=rt
–with-db-type=Oracle
–with-db-host=****
–with-db-dba=****
–with-db-database=****
–with-db-rt-user=****
–with-db-rt-pass=****
–with-web-user=rt
–with-web-group=rt

where ‘****’ is really something I can’t print. My concern was if
something was missing. I got the error message:

checking for a BSD-compatible install… ./install-sh -c
checking for gawk… no
checking for mawk… no
checking for nawk… nawk

I went ahead and tried to run make testdeps and I got these results:

Some (hell most) of this stuff is absolutely GREEK to me. When it says
“MISSING” it shows something I provided in the “configure” phase, so how
could it be missing?
One of my MAJOR concerns is where it says something like"
“Encode version 2.13 required–this is only version 2.01”
OR
“Module::Versions::Report version 1.05 required–this is only version 1.03”
OR
“DBIx::SearchBuilder >= 1.54…MISSING
DBIx::SearchBuilder version 1.54 required–this is only
version 1.49”

I don’t know where this stuff is or why it’s missing. Doesn’t
SearchBuilder come with the installation? If so, why can’t it find the
latest version? I really do NOT understand this. Can I get some guidence
here? Thanks.

Felipe,

I edited my “RT at a glance” title by first copying the index.html file from /opt/rt3/share/html to /opt/rt3/local/html and then modifying it. You may need to create the /local/html directory if you haven’t before. In this file you will see on line 6 and line 81 (3.8.1) the text for “RT at a glance”. One line is for the title in the main body of the page and the other modifies the browser tab title. You can change it to whatever you like. I actually changed mine to pull the company name from the RT_Siteconfig file, so it reads " Company Name Request Tracker" I did this by inserting " [_1] Request Tracker" into lines 6 and 81 where “RT at a glance” used to be.

Thanks

Sean

i’m sure you can change all that stuff if you edit the raw html/perl stuff.

have a look in there and grep for “RT at a Glance” or whatever the spelling is for the string you want…

as for the color, it’s probably in the css somewhere if there is some (i’m guessing)

Hi,

Is it possible to change the home page “title” displayed (RT at a Glance) to something like “Helpdesk Homepage” ?

Is it possible to change the RT 3.8 web console blue color, to some other color?

TIA,

Also, in order to see the changes don’t forget to clear your Mason cache and restart apache.
