I'm going to be supporting a new RT that is supposed to incorporate the databases of two different existing RT instances. Because it is important that the ticket numbers remain the same in both cases, I'll probably need to keep the databases distinct. However, I'm trying to avoid having to support two completely separate instances of both Apache and RT on two different machines.

Assuming that a single RT instance can point to only one database (but correct me if I'm wrong about this), I'd like to be able to have one Apache, with two virtual homes, each pointing to an RT with its own distinct database. But I want to be able to do this on a single machine. Can one install two separate RT instances on the same box? And, even if so, can one Apache point to different sets of RT libraries? I figure I'd need this, because it's RT.pm that specifies the location of the Config file, where the database is defined.

Actually, instead of actually doing two RT installs on the same system,
I'm wondering if the following scenario would work:

1.  Install RT, say into /opt/RT-a/rt3.
    - etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm would point to database-a.

2.  Copy /opt/RT-a/rt3 to /opt/RT-b/rt3.

3.  In /opt/RT-b/rt3:
    -- Modify lib/RT.pm to adjust the locations of the various RT paths
       to correspond to /opt/RT-b/rt3
    -- Modify etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm to point to database-b and to adjust
       $WebPath, etc.
    -- Adjust bin/mason_handler.fcgi so that it brings in webmux.pl
       from /opt/RT-b/rt3/bin.
    -- Adjust bin/webmux.pl so that it uses the libraries in
       /opt/RT-b/local/lib and /opt/RT-b/lib.

4.  -- Set up two Apache virtual homes, one with
          ScriptAlias / /opt/RT-a/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi/
       and the other with
          ScriptAlias / /opt/RT-b/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi/
    -- Set DocumentRoot, ServerName, etc. appropriately in each virtual home

Would this work and accomplish what I want?  Or am I overlooking something?

Thanks.

Mike
