Use mod_fastcgi instead. Then you’ll have to cope just with one
growing process.

If you use mod_perl and the httpd children die too quickly (after too
few process requests), then you incur the horrendous RT loading
overhead on every second ticket or so. This can kill your performance
much more thoroughly than any other way (with the notable exception of
an un-VACUUM-ed PostgreSQL database, of course).

Subject: [rt-users] RT Statistics Package Installation Help

Hello,

I am trying to setup RT Statistics (Simon Cozen’s) package on RT 2.0.14,
running on a Red Hat 7.2 box. Is there a way someone can help me with some
installation guidelines. Looks like i installed all the required modules,
including Apache::GD::Graph and made the modifications in the httpd.conf
file.

How do i get to the initial page?

I can get to my RT page and i have the stats folder under /WebRT
folder and i have the folder chart under /html folder.

If i try to open http:///chart it gives me and error in the
apache
log “Undefined subroutine &Apache::GD::Graph::handler called”

Where do i go from here? Any help / comments in this regard would be
highly
appreciated.

Thanks,

Raj

Subject: [rt-users] Deleting dead tickets (especially attachments)

Hi,

About a year ago there was a reference on the list to a perl script for
removing data from the database for dead tickets – unfortunately, it
looks like the web site where that was hosted, and perhaps the company
itself, no longer exist.

Does anyone have a copy? Or, does anyone have a good reference to the
location of a script/tool for pruning garbage out of a somewhat bloaty
feeling MySQL database?

As of last night to this morning I’ve noticed that adding new data to
the database takes an unreasonable amount of time – seconds to minutes,
through the command line tool, so not an Apache/mod_perl problem this
time. My hunch is that the thousands of copies of viruses we’re storing
in our 604112148 byte Attachments.MYD may have something to do with
this.

I’m not entirely comfortable in SQL yet, so any help would be
appreciated on doing this right; ideally I’d like to completely delete
dead tickets older than X days, or something convenient like that…

Thanks,

Scott A. McIntyre

Sorry to say this (don’t want to start any flame war), but yer one hell

If you want to pull out the best of PHP, mysql, etc… There is more to
it then just simple ./configure ; make ; make install.

Subject: Re: [rt-users] RT2 Speed/performance problems.

Well I’ve optimized the tables when stuff has been deleted but other

than that I am using mysql default installation. A totally dedicated

machine.

The default mysql config uses very little memory and doesn’t take
advantage of multiple processors as well as it could. Actually tuning

MySQL can have a big impact.

I’d also recommend to anyone that they either use Mason 1.05 or
1.1201, but not 1.10 or 1.11. 1.12 is also fine except it doesn’t
work with Perl 5.00503. The 1.10 and 1.11 releases have memory leaks
that can suck up some decent memory, so up- or down-grading is
definitely recommended. If you’re not using Mason for other
development, there’s little reason to upgrade from 1.05 for those
currently using . 1.12 does offer a lot of cool new features, but it’s

also slower.

Of course, the chances that Mason was the bottleneck in Maren’s case
are very small, since RT is most likely going to be DBMS-bound once
more than a small number of tickets have been created.

Dave,
Maybe I am picky our just a lazy admin, but I believe that
decent system sould be maintainable, should be able install them in a
snap, reconfigure them, see what it is doing. You should be able to
rebuild in under one hour or less from nothing to live.

This was what I was referring to that RT2 has gone in the wrong
direction. The installation is a nightmare if you compare it to just
about any other Open source system I have had on my machines during the
past 8 years…

Look at what you have above, you have to tune, mysql, mason, the right
version, make sure that mode perl does this, make sure that apache kills
the process after etc…

I don’t doubt that you guys love it and without it you would struggle.
Well maybe it is just me. I like systems software like postfix, Nuke,
that do their job and let me get on with what I should be doing.

Cheers,
Maren.

Subject: [rt-users] Odd performance problem - returning from submissions.

Hi,

Thanks to Simon for that delete tickets script – sadly, whilst it
probably did help get rid of 6500 tickets that didn’t need to be there,
I’m still facing the same odd performance problem as earlier today.

The symptom is simple: Queries and searches are fine, but any
changes/writes to the database seem to happen quickly, but both the
command line rt tool and the web interface “stall” when waiting for the
result.

What’s peculiar is that the changes do seem to happen fast; if I make
a comment on a ticket and click on Submit, it stalls for several moments
without updating the display – however, if I have another rt window
open and put in the ticket number that I just updated, the query returns
quickly with the changes that are still ‘Loading’ in the other window.

This is new behaviour from yesterday evening, which is why I felt it was
some sort of a size issue with the database, poor indexing, etc…as a
test I’ve built a new apache with fastcgi and am running it in parallel
(to rule out mod_perl) and I felt the delay there as well, plus, as I
say, the command line tools do the same.

An rt --create produced this timing:

real 2m1.148s
user 0m0.850s
sys 0m0.100s

Which is obviously a bit drastic. This is with rt 2-0-13, on a 1Ghz
Celeron, with 512mb of RAM. RedHat Linux 7.2, and the system is
otherwise “idle” with a very low load average, enough free memory and no
errors anywhere obvious as to disk errors (IDE, MAXTOR 6L040J2).

Total number of tickets is about 39000 or so at the moment, with the
entire rt2 database taking up about 625 megabytes in /var/lib/mysql…

If anyone has any thoughts as to why just the writing/modifications
would be producing such a noticeable delay, I’d very much like to hear
them…in the mean time, I’ll keep trying to pin this down a bit
further.

Thanks,

Scott

Subject: RE: [rt-users] RT2 Speed/performance problems.

As a Non-IT person running a webserver with RT and PostNuke, I thought I’d
wade into the discussion:

First: I’m not a programmer, sys-admin, or have EVER had formal IT
training.
I’m an advanced computer USER who happens to be a lab technician with an
interest in computers.

Second: I set up a webserver to support my lab users and environment. I
loaded a Dual Ultra-II (UltraSparc) with 512MB of RAM and a 4GB hard disk
with Solaris 8, manually added the packages for GNU tools, PERL 5.6.1, and
then used ApacheToolbox to help with installing Apache, MySQL, and all the
required packages. It all still required tweaking to get it all running
properly with Solaris. All of my Unix/PERL/PHP/MySQL skills are self
taught, with a lot of help from google.ca and people on mailing lists like
this one.

Third: I installed RT (and I did fight with it to get all the dependancies
working), but I thought it was worth it, because RT2 was the best that I
had
seen out there, and because this list was active and people were very
helpful in doing mods and fixes.

Fourth: I modified RT2 and PostNuke to get them to do what I want them to
do. My RT pages load in 2 seconds typically, and my PostNuke pages load
in
3-5. I’m still tweaking both systems as I learn new things from the
people
on this list and on PostNuke.com. What I’ve learned over my years of
being a computer user is that nothing is ever perfect out-of-the-box, and
you only get out of it what you put into it. RT and PostNuke are both
very
extensible, well-designed systems, and I think that you can get a lot from
those systems if you’re willing to put some time into them! My $0.02
worth… (before taxes!)

Lastly, I would like to thank all the RT-User’s Listers for all their
assistance, especially Rich Lafferty, Phil Homewood, Michael Grubb, Mike
Quitero, Smylers, Bruce Campbell and Paul Rossman (and anyone else who’s
helped me out in the past that I might have missed!)

3-10 seconds is the norm, for us it does not cut it.

So yours takes 5-10x as long as mine when I use Mozilla, but runs on
faster hardware. Still think it’s RT?

Well this is what I see…

The board is an ASUS P2BF-D (old but great board), with two PII 450Mhz,
the machine has 512MB of RAM, the disks are running on a promise raid
TX2-100. The disks are idle, the HTTP deamons eat CPU like there is no
tomorow, and they inflate themselves like zepplins, even with only one
user.

I also think that RT UI is designed for large teams and the number of
clicks at the interface are execessive for smaller support teams. Less
clicks more speed more e-mails out. With RT1 we could respond about 10% of
e-mails in under 5 mins, as it was quick and nimble.

Cheers,
Maren.

Subject: Re: [rt-users] Adding additional status option

I’m just sugggesting the the Ticket’s status is Open, but
that for one queue you could have a sub-status that is more
specific.

However the code is there and you can do what you want…

-Todd

Well that would suck for obvious reasons. A tool like RT should
adapt to the user’s needs, not the other way around. I understand
that right now it doesn’t support this, but that doesn’t mean
the custom work around is the “correct solution”.

It sounds like you should be using a custom field for the queue.

-Todd

Hi Tim,

I asked a simular question not long ago, didn’t get an answer,
but I can tell you what I do know.

You’re right that there’s no table. The different status’s are listed
in the Queue_Overlay.pm file. You’ll need to add it to either the
@ACTIVE_STATUS or @INACTIVE_STATUS array’s and add the appropriate
comment line below (not sure why, just seems that way… if it doesn’t
make sense right now, it will when you edit the file.)

The only problem I have is that changes here are global, not specific
to one queue. So if you have a bunch of queues, and only want to
change
one of them… you’re kinda SOL. If you figure out how to limit it to
a single queue, by all means let me know.

-Aaron

Hi everyone,

I’ve looked through the RT database and it appears that there’s no
table
that contains the list of predetermined ticket status options (e.g.,
new,
open, resolved, etc.) I’d like to add another one, “At repair,” to
indicate
that a particular piece of equipment is in the shop. I haven’t found
any
clues in the list archives either.

If it’s not in the database, where should I add that?

how does one go about removing themselves from this list? I seem to be
perplexed and unable to register the proper procedure.

Please note the footer that is appended to every rt-users message. It
includes a url, which lets you do things like unsubscribe. I realize
it’s very hard to read a footer, and much easier to spam all 1800
people instead, but please refrain.

Ignore. Someone showed me how to turn on DBI_Trace (which I’m liking
quite a bit) and, I will admit, I found a subtle password mis-type I’ve
missed for the past few weeks of tinkering. Fix that, revert a few code
changes and voila - RT works.

Thanks for the help,

More Info:

I can successfully connect through mysql command line tools, php test
script and through a test perl script with the default apache2 config.
This all leads me to it being something with RT’s setup specifically.
Once I switch back to the RT apache config RT fails to connect to the
db. This is when trying to connect from perl 5.8.8, apache2.2.3. The
local database was 5.0.32 which worked fine whereas the remote database
is 4.0.24 which does meet the minimum required version in the docs.

Any other ideas I can try?

Thanks,
Keith

Hi Keith;

Most likely the problem is with the @hostname bit not being recognised
correctly …(and cauing permissions problems)
try to login with rt_user from your rt server to the database via
mysql client and tail your sql server log files to determine why
rt_user is being denied.

Thanks Odhiambo,

Yes - I can connect fine through the standard mysql tools from the same
host without issue however, I was trying “rt_user” previously. It
actually does fail when connecting with “rt_user@hostname”. As I
manually moved the database over, manually create the user and manually
granted the rights (I don’t want to run make initialize-database against
our very stable and department-wide mysql server), I’ll look through and
see what else I need to do.

Hi there,

I'm moving forward with my testing of RT 3.8.2.

Setup:
Virtual machine (Virtualbox) running RT3.8.2 in Debian Etch.  
Web port
is forwarded to the virtual machine through the host but otherwise
there
is no access to the VM. I moved the database onto a production
database
server.
RT_SiteConfig.pm has been altered to say:
$DatabaseHost is set to dbproductionserver
$DatabaseRTHost is set to the hostname of the vm host machine

Problem:
In the apache error logs, I get:
DBI connect('dbname=rt;host=dbproductionhost','rt_user',...) 
failed:
Access denied for user: ‘rt_user@hostmachineHostname’ (Using
password:
YES) at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/DBIx/SearchBuilder/Handle.pm
line 106
[Tue Mar 31 08:58:05 2009] [error] [client
hostmachine.ip.goes.here]
Connect Failed Access denied for user:
‘rt_user@hostmachineHostname’
(Using password: YES)\n at /opt/rt3/bin/…/lib/RT.pm line 204\n
And I get a 500 server error page returned to me.  However, I 
can use
the mysql command line tools from the virtual machine and connect
just fine.
Is there possibly a port that's being expected to be open that i
need to
forward or something else that I'm missing?  This seemed like a 
pretty
straightforward change in the beginning…

It should be straighforward just as you say.
Have you tested manually connecting to the DB like:

mysql -h dbproductionserver -urt_user@hostmachineHostname -pSec3t rt

?? Did it work?

If not, then go to the dbproductionserver and give the necessary
privileges for rt_user to connect:

mysql> GRANT ALL ON rt.* TO rt_user@hostmachineHostname IDENTIFIED BY
“Sec3t”;
mysql> flush privileges;

Message-ID:31455543.post@talk.nabble.com
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi guys,

Just need some help with the above error message (as in subject).

I get that when I try to upgrade the MySQL schema. I tried manually
installing version DBD::MySQL 4.002 (tarball) but ended up with a host of
errors. I can’t find a yum repo even to update perl-DBD-MySQL from version
3.0 to 4.0.

What do I do? I’m just one step away from having my old DB functioning in my
new RT but whats so close seems so far away.

Thanks guys
Pravin
