This is why I am not a programmer....
I REALLY appreciate your patience and your willingness to stick with this to a final solution. VERY much appreciated! Now I need to do a good deed for someone to keep the chain going. So just for fun, what do I need to do to get /helpdesk to work without the trailing slash when someone complains about it and I've long since forgotten about last week's pain? Also, a tiny thing that I wouldn't even care about except that it's one of those things I'd rather fix while I am in there and everything is fresh in my mind. There's still things in RT_siteconfig.pm that aren't being honored, such as LogoLinkURL. If it's an easy fix I'd prefer to do it since I'm guessing there's still something in that pm file that isn't quite right. My previous experience with RT is that it is bullet-proof once you get it up and running. Once I get these few tiny things resolved I don't expect to have to mess around with it again for a very long time. Just for those who come along with the same problem and read this thread: [r...@security webalizer-2.21-02]# grep -i fastcgi /etc/httpd/conf.d/* /etc/httpd/conf.d/FastCGI.conf:LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so /etc/httpd/conf.d/FastCGI.conf: FastCgiIpcDir /tmp /etc/httpd/conf.d/FastCGI.conf: FastCgiServer /opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi -idle-timeout 120 -processes 8 /etc/httpd/conf.d/FastCGI.conf: FastCgiConfig -restart [r...@security webalizer-2.21-02]# This is a configuration that works for http://backup.easyrider.com/helpdesk/ # ----- START --------- NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName backup.easyrider.com ServerAdmin [email protected] AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi Alias /helpdesk/NoAuth/images /opt/rt3/share/html/NoAuth/images ScriptAlias /helpdesk /opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi/ </VirtualHost> # ---- END ----------- # ---- START --------- Set($WebPath , "/helpdesk"); Set($WebBaseURL , "http://backup.easyrider.com";); Set($WebImagesURL , $WebPath .
