We're about to migrate RT to our own servers. During the transition

better.
What's the best way to do this? Debian Stable will be the underlying OS.
VM? change paths in the config file?
Since you mention you'll be running Debian squeeze (stable), I'll
outline one possible approach which involves a single server.
request-tracker3.8 is the Debian package of RT 3.8. It is in squeeze.
request-tracker4 is the Debian package of RT4.0. It is in squeeze-backports.
You can install both of these side by side, and have both running
alongside each other, as long as you use the mod_fastcgi or mod_fcgi
mode, rather than the mod_perl mode.
[disclosure: I'm the Debian maintainer of those packages]
That sounds like the way to go. I've looked around the wiki and
mod_fastcgi installation doesn't seem to be well documented. Any hints
on how to proceed?
