Re: [rt-users] RT on Mac OS X Server 10.4

Thu, 22 Jun 2006 12:35:17 -0700

I installed RT 3.4.5 on Mac OS X 10.4.3 client and have been able to get everything except mail delivery working right.  Installation was a blend of the instructions on the RT wiki manual install page and OS X install page.  I didn't install perl or apache, and the fixdeps/CPAN stuff worked great except one module I had to force install.  I found the entire installation to go very smooth and easy.  It was easier than I expected (on the third try).

I'd love to hear how different people got email delivery working on OSX 10.4 client.

We prefer having RT run on a separate machine, since it requires a lot of customization and we won't be running software update on the machine (who knows what Apple might decide to udpate!)  and we decided it didn't require Xserve hardware and we had other spare hardware laying around, so a 10.4 client based installation on a standalone was the way to go for us.  I also read that it is much more difficult to install on Server than on Client, that certainly influenced our decision.  (think headless mac mini, cheap unix workstation!)  Right now it's up and running on a Pismo G3 Powerbook, sitting up above my desk on a shelf with a wireless network connection.  As soon as I can figure out how to get email delivery working I'll put RT on something more robust...  I have a pretty good step by step instructions sheet built for OS X 10.4 client but haven't posted it yet since it's not fully functional yet...

Hope this helps.  If anyone can help me configure postfix/email/RT please give me a shout!

We are currently using RT 1.0.7 on a Beige G3 Tower running OS X Server 10.0.  Built about 6-7 years ago, it is nearing time to upgrade hardware and software...

Mike,

I somehow managed to get all of the perl scripts installed and it appears that the make testdeps found all of them. I then followed the instructions to add the following lines to the http config files only after I created the domain name in server admin.

       <Location />
                RewriteEngine On
                RedirectMatch permanent (.*)/$ $1/index.html
                AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
                SetHandler perl-script
                PerlHandler RT::Mason
        </Location>

When you pull up the page it lists the following as the error message.

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Looking at the logs I get the following message having to do with Mason. What am I missing on this whole thing?

This has honestly been the most difficult installation of open source software I have ever run into. I am going to have to try a reinstall just so I understand it more once I get it up and running.

Thanks much for any help that you can provide me. I really do appreciate it.

Jason

PS: Server config: OS X 10.4.6, Xcode 2.2 if I remember right.

Could you possibly send me an error log from a failed install? Are you using the MySQL 
version that is bundled with OS X or did you run a standalone install?

When I installed 10.4.6 server along with Xcode 2.2 I tried using  
CPAN to get the any of the perl modules working and none of the perl  
modules seemed to go successfully. I was working with this article I  
found on the internet and failed at it using these directions.

Howdy,

 I managed to get it running on OS X4.6 client. Which modules are  
you having
difficulty with?

built on a brand new 10.4.6 OS X Server?

Thanks much,
