Re: [rt-users] Trying to install/run RT with 2 Perls - Redhat Perl and self, installed Perl (John Seto)

2008-10-30 Thread Todd A. Green
John,

I have already been through this process with CentOS 5.2 (RHES 5.2) with 
the same goal in mind, to avoid messing with the packaged perl. 

My system is currently running as follows:

CentOS 5.2
Perl 5.8.10
Apache 2.2.10
mod_perl 2.0.4

My solution was to:

Install Perl 5.8.10 from src using default install path (/usr/local/)
Make sure /usr/local/bin/perl showed up in $PATH before /usr/bin/perl

Note: From this point all perl activities effect the 5.8.10 install 
since it's binaries come first in the path.

Install mod_perl
Install RT required modules via cpan
Install RT

This is much cleaner than my previous install under CentOS 4.x in which 
I attempted to maintain the packaged perl installation via cpan and 
force the OS not to update it via yum/up2date.  With the new config the 
'system perl' installation is untouched except for when system updates 
are applied, none of which would effect the RT installation stack.

[rt-users] Queue Permissions issue since upgrade to 3.8.1.

2008-10-03 Thread Todd A. Green
I am setting up my first new queue since upgraded to 3.8.1 and have run
into an odd issue.

The queue is setup, my user (SuperUser) can see it in Quick Search, can
open/view tickets, but the queue does not appear in the 'New Ticket In'
list of queues.  Also when I select Basic on a ticket in the queue the
queue name is set to - and the name of the queue the ticket is in does
not appear in the list.

I as a test I have granted every permission possible at the
global/queue/group/user level for my account, but to no effect.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Todd

Re: [rt-users] reall odd apache2 crashes with blank pages

2008-09-26 Thread Todd A. Green
I am having a similar issue with 3.8.1 under Apache 2.2.9, Perl 5.10.0, 
mod_perl 2.0.4, PHP 5.2.6, mySQL 5.0.45.

I verified I am using the newest Scalar::Util module (1.19) as well.

The biggest issue it is causing is when it happens while rt-mailgate is 
attempting to delivery emails and they get stuck in the mail queue.

 Sounds like what would happen with Scalar::util from rpm on redhat 
 systems.  Never used gentoo so I don't know how it's package management 
 works, but you could try re-installing Scalar:util from CPAN.

 hi list,

 is anyone familiar with odd behaviour of RT (i'm using rt3.6.7/apache2)
 where there are several lines in a row in the apache error log stating
 segmentation faults and the browser displaying a blank page upon browser
 refresh or action (such as clicking on a link)?

Re: [rt-users] CentOS 5.2 updates broke RT (apache) 3.8.1

2008-09-24 Thread Todd A. Green
I am running 3.8.1 under CentOS 5.2 without issues, but I think I dodged 
your bullet early when I was setting up the system. 

In the past to avoid issues related to the distro mucking with my perl 
install I would replace it's perl with one built from src which I would 
update via CPAN.  However I wanted to get away from that with CentOS 5.x 
and try to use just the distro installation, so I gave it a shot and ran 
into the problem of the distro updating a perl module with an earlier 
one than I already had installed. 

My solution was to leave the stock perl alone and let it update what it 
wants, but also install a copy from src into /usr/local/ which is what 
mod_perl/RT references instead of the distro installation.  So now I can 
be sure that my critical perl install will remain untouched unless I 
touch it.

 Hello
  
 I am in the process of doing a proof of concept for RT 3.8.1 running inside a 
 VM session on my laptop with CENTOS 5.2.
  
 I have it up and working and was alerted by the OS that there were 26 updates 
 for me to apply.  I have run several snapshots through the process of 
 building RT - so that I don't break it with out any recourse - so I ran the 
 updates.  I noticed there were some Perl updates and let them go on anyway.  
 Needless to say after restarting Apache - just to see if things still worked 
 - apache won't start anymore.
  
 Error is httpd failed: The error was: Starting httpd: [FAILED]
  
 Here are the updates that were applied (from syslog)

 My reason for posting is to know what modules I need to be careful with in 
 the future as to what will break RT.  Can anyone tell me which updates 
 shouldn't be run?  Anything specific from the list above?  I've reverted to 
 my saved snapshot and it's back up again and I did it once more to verify 
 that the updates are what broke it - and it is the culprit.
  
 If this goes into production - I want to be informed as to what 
 updates/patches can go on easily to keep the OS up to date and what others I 
 need to stay away from completely - or just be leary of.
  
 Thanks - there are some 

[rt-users] GraphViz issue in 3.8.1

Just about worked out all the kinks in my 3.8.1 installation before the 
final transition from 3.4.2.

The last one is that when I pull up a ticket and try to view the 
relationship graph with GraphViz I get the following error in the browser.

[rt-users] Dashboards Setup

This is a brand new installation build from src on CentOS 5.2, mySQL 
5.0.45, Apache 2.2.9, Perl 5.10.0 and mod_perl 2.0.4.

*Smacks self on head*

Found it.  I was led in the wrong direction by the only entry in the 
Wiki regarding Dashboards which says.

You can create, modify, and subscribe to dashboards by going to 
Preferences then Dashboards.

Mayhaps this should be updated to say.

by going to Tools then Dashboards

Love 3.8.1, but it will take a little ramp up time since I've been stuck 
in 3.4.2 forever.

;)
