[rt-users] RT only sending email to Queue watcher after default scrips modified

2008-01-11 Thread Ben Weston
A couple of the default scrips on a customer's installation (3.6.5) were 
modified.  Since then, RT is only emailing the Queue Watcher.  The 
biggest problem being that when tickets are generated by email, the 
requestor isn't getting an autoreply.


I went into RT and tracked down scrips 1 and 2, and rebuilt them to the 
default conditions/actions/names.  Even after restarting 
Apache/MySQLd/Postfix, the same behavior persists.


I'm not 100% sure that it's the scrip'ing that was the cause of the 
problem, but it stood out as a possibility.  I can't think of any other 
changes that have been made to the system that would have caused the 
problems.


Any ideas?


Thanks,
Ben

[rt-users] disclaimer on first comment for a queue. need a more elegant solution

2007-10-10 Thread Ben Weston
Greetings all.

 

What I'm trying to do is this.  We want the first comment (when opening
a new ticket) to include after the problem info a disclaimer that
basically says


We reserve the right to dispose of equipment left more than 90 days
after service is completed, unless other arrangements are made with our
company.

Sig/date line

 

 

 

Right now, I have it set as a signature for all users, but that's really
a pain, since you need to delete it when ever you make a comment update.

 

Is there a cleaner way of doing this (preferably, just for a single
queue)?  I'm guessing that it can probably be done with either a scrip
or a template, but I'm lost as to how to make it work.

 


Thanks,

Ben

[rt-users] Error after upgrading to 3.6.5

2007-10-02 Thread Ben Weston
I just upgraded to 3.6.5 today, and now when trying to do a quick search
for a ticket number, I get the following error:

 


Bad Request


Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.
Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.

Hint: https://192.168.51.220/ https://192.168.51.220/ 

 

 

It only happens when searching for a number, it works fine when
searching for a text string.  Also, it only gives the error in Firefox
though, IE just displays a blank page.  

 

 

Ideas, Suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Ben

[rt-users] Automatic Disclaimer -- Nevermind

2007-06-18 Thread Ben Weston
Well, if there is a more elegant solution, Im open to it... but I 
realized that simple is usually best, and added the disclaimer as a 
signature file for the users.   It's easy enough to just erase it from 
the later entries.

[rt-users] Automatic Disclaimer in initial comment on creation

2007-06-18 Thread Ben Weston

Good day,

I'm looking for a way to add a disclaimer and signature line to the 
initial comment of a newly-generated ticket.  Something along the lines of



MyCo is not responsible for data loss that may occur during service, 
customer is solely responsible for maintaining their own backups.  If 
after completion of service, the system is not picked up after 60 days, 
MyCo reserves to right to dispose of the equipment by what ever means 
they feel appropriate, and you will be charged a disposal fee per item.

Is there a way to do this?  I've been looking at the scrip options, but 
I'm still not really clear on how they work.  Any direction or 
suggestion is most welcome.

[rt-users] Problems with 3.4.5 with Firefox

2007-05-03 Thread Ben Weston

Anyone else run into this?

Periodically, my RT will just sit and sit and sit when I access it 
through Firefox.  It works fine for IE, no one else in the company is 
having any problems (they use IE almost exclusively).  When I fire up a 
session side-by-side with Firefox in IE, the IE version works fine for 
me as well, while the Firefox just sitting at the Waiting for RT.X.com



Thoughts, suggestions?

[rt-users] Was working fine for 2 weeks

2006-09-12 Thread Ben Weston
For the last couple weeks, my new RT system has been running fine.  The 
boss has been quite impressed with it.


However, starting yesterday, it hasn't been working.  The small pmWiki 
system on the same server continues to run fine, and no changes have 
been made to that server since RT got configured properly...


I stopped and restarted httpd and mysqld services.  I even turned off 
iptables to make sure that wasn't a problem, still nothing.  I think 
it's an error while trying to connect to the database, but I'm not sure.


Any help would be greatly apprecaited.

Ben

[rt-users] Was working for 2 weeks follow up

2006-09-12 Thread Ben Weston
Disregard...  For what ever reason, my permissions for the RT user got 
dropped from MySQL.  I reapplied them and that took care of it.



As a side note, can anyone recommend a good MySQL primer?  Be it online 
or hardcopy?  I have only the most basic knowledge, and would really 
like to expand on it.



Thanks again!

[rt-users] Almost there!

2006-08-29 Thread Ben Weston
I've used RT Extensively, but this is my first attempt at doing an 
install of it.  I'm running Fedora Core 5 and Apache2.


I've been stuck at this point for a week or two.  Now that I'm back 
working on the RT project, I figured it's time I ask for some help.  
I've gone through the wiki docs, as well as the mailing list archive, 
but it's still not working (it's gotten me this far though)...  I get 
the ubiquitous Almost there page.


Here is what I have for an httpd.conf at this point.

# Begin RT Host
VirtualHost 192.168.51.48:80
  ServerName 192.168.51.48
  ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  DocumentRoot /opt/rt3/share/html

  PerlRequire /opt/rt3/bin/webmux.pl

  Directory /opt/rt34/share/html
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlResponseHandler RT::Mason
  /Directory
/VirtualHost


Possibly unrelated...  I'm fairly new to Apache as well.  One thing I 
don't understand is:

Directory /opt/rt34/share/html

/opt/rt34 doesn't exist (it's /opt/rt3).  However if I change it to 
/opt/rt3, I get a 500 internal server error.  This way I get the Almost 
there page.


Help, input, advice, direction?


Thanks,
Ben

Reset my password for the rt user, and made sure all the RT config 
settings were sane (a couple of them were originally incorrect), I'm no 
longer getting those errors...

Everything looks Ok to me here (please correct me if I'm wrong).

I went and made sure that the rt user for mysql had full access to the 
rt3 database.



Not sure if there is anything else that would be helpful in 
troubleshooting this...  I'm thinking it's a DBase permission issue, but 
I'm no longer gettig any errors regarding that...  Suggestions?   Other 
logfiles I should be looking at?



Thanks again,
Ben

2006-08-29 Thread Ben Weston

Ben -

If this is a cut/paste, looks like there's still a tyop [sic] in
your httpd.conf -- you're specifying /opt/rt3/ everywhere except the
Directory container where the handlers are defined. That directory
container is for /opt/rt34/share/html, rather than /opt/rt3/share/html.

Or was this a cosmetic error introduced while emailing


No, that was a typo in my config I thought I'd fixed this morning, but 
apparently hadn't


Originally, when I went with /opt/rt3 instead of rt34, it would just 
bomb out with a 500 error...  This time I'm getting:


*error:*RT couldn't store your session.
This may mean that that the directory '/opt/rt3/var/session_data' isn't

Re: [rt-users] Almost there... Some progress... maybe...

2006-08-29 Thread Ben Weston
I went into Webmin and looked at the SQL DBase (my MySQL skills are very 
limited), and that database apparently has no tables in it at all.


Did my DBase not initialize properly during install?  I wouldn't be 
surprised, since I've had to adjust settings today to make everything 
sane as far as users/passwords go, and I just didn't notice it at that time.


Is there anyway to fix this after the fact, short of a fresh re-install?
