Re: [rt-users] This is my first attempt to install RT on Ubuntu 8.10desktop with fastcgi and nginx 0.6.32.
Thank you for the quick response and early warning John.
I've made the changes and the mason_handler will not run (see attached).
I will review the rt wiki permissions for other ideas.
If you have any more thoughts - I'm all ears! One day I'll send a picture
as proof.
Jim

the RT wiki outlines permissions, but since youre running your http
server sans suid, you can use the latter (daemon:daemon)
beware: your webserver now has access to your DB config...so id suggest
hosting this on a linux with execshield or selinux extensions.

Re: [rt-users] This is my first attempt to install RT on Ubuntu 8.10desktop with fastcgi and nginx 0.6.32.
Good point John. rt is installed in /usr/local/rt
This area has permissions as in the attached screenshot. Since the
webserver runs as daemon:daemon - would I be best to do this:
chown -R root:daemon /usr/local/rt or chown -R daemon:daemon /usr/local/rt

out of curiousity, is your webserver running as a user with permissions to
access the data in /opt/rt3/ ?

[rt-users] This is my first attempt to install RT on Ubuntu 8.10 desktop with fastcgi and nginx 0.6.32.
Here are the steps I've taken:
STEP 1 RT configure script:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/rt \
--enable-graphviz \
--enable-gd \
--with-web-handler=fastcgi \
--with-db-type=Pg \
--with-db-host=localhost \
--with-db-port=5432 \
--with-db-rt-host=localhost \
--with-db-dba=postgres \
--with-db-database=rt \
--with-db-rt-user=ldc \
--with-db-rt-pass=ldc4ever \
--with-web-user=daemon \
--with-web-group=daemon \
--with-rt-group=daemon
* Note nginx runs as user daemon, group daemon
STEP 2 ran:
make testdeps (ran without issues)
make intitialize-database (ran without issues)
* Note at this point I assume rt is installed correctly
STEP 3 /etc/init.d/rt script:
#!/bin/sh
RTPATH=/usr/local/rt
RTUSER=daemon
FCGI_SOCKET_PATH=$RTPATH/var/session_data
case $1 in
start)
echo -n "Starting RT: mason_handler.fcgi"
cd $RTPATH
export FCGI_SOCKET_PATH
su $RTUSER -c perl bin/mason_handler.fcgi &
echo
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping RT: "
PIDS=`ps axww | awk '/[m]ason_handler.fcgi/ { print $1}'`
if [ -n "$PIDS" ]
then
echo -n kill -TERM $PIDS
kill $PIDS
echo
else
echo RT not running
fi
;;
restart|force-reload)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/rt { stop | start | restart }"
exit 1
;;
esac
* Note this deviates slightly from the recommendations at
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/FastCGIConfiguration which suggested
FCGI_SOCKET_PATH=$RTPATH/var/appSocket. There was no appSocket
subdirectory so I used session_data instead. I also ran:
chown -R daemon:daemon /usr/local/rt/var/log
chown -R daemon:daemon /usr/local/rt/var/session_data
chmod -R 775 /usr/local/rt/var/log
chmod -R 775 /usr/local/rt/var/session_data
STEP 4 Ran the /etc/init.d/rt script
/etc/init.d/rt start -> Starting RT: mason_handler.fcgi
/etc/init.d/rt stop -> Stopping RT: RT not running
This is where I'm stuck - I can't seem to get the mason_handler to run
and I don't see any output in the /usr/local/rt/var/log directory.
I would really appreciate any insights on what I can do to move past
this point to get RT up and running. Thanks.

[rt-users] RT installation from source on Ubuntu using nginx & fastcgi
I've been working through the available resources and am unable to get this configuration working: ubuntu 8.10 nginx 0.6.32 from source rt 3,8,1 from source I am able to get rt installed according to the docs. I'm having trouble figuring out the init.d script to get fastcgi running and also the site config file for nginx with fastcgi. Can anyone point me to some 'how-to' resources for this configuration? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
