Package: request-tracker3.4
Version: 3.4.1-2
Severity: important
Trying to set up the package, I discover that it's installed in an
unrunnable configuration requiring extensive manual editing. Doing
that, I find instructions in apache-modperl.conf that
# You will need to enable the Apache modules: perl, actions, rewrite
However, "modules-config enable [perl|actions|rewrite" does nothing. So
these modules are both required and nonexistent. Thanks.
I'm sure the real modules have some other names, for instance
"libapache-mod-rewrite", but why make the user figure that out? And why
"install" the program but not completely? Isn't that what APT is for?

Hi,
the 'actions' and 'rewrite' modules are included in the base Apache
packages. The 'perl' module needs libapache-mod-perl, which was
not installed by default with request-tracker3.4 on sarge. This has
been fixed since, and a default install of the request-tracker3.4
(or request-tracker3.6, for that matter) package will now pull in
libapache-mod-perl as well.
The modules should be enabled by default, but 'modules-config' handles
them just fine if needed when called with the proper syntax, for example:
# modules-config enable apache rewrite
As for the need for manual configuration: RT is a complex package, and
its integration with the database and web server are expected to vary
significantly between installations. That said, not working out of the
box is obviously a shortcoming, and I intend to work on that after Etch
is released.
I'm closing this bug, feel free to reply if you think this is not
satisfactory.
Cheers,
