Hello all,

this question appears in the archive but the suggested answer does not  
quite work; I am hoping some of you will be able to suggest solutions.  
My problem is that I am trying to install RT on an existing web server  
(Apache 2.x with mod_perl2 on Ubuntu8), in a sub-directory. I went  
through the configure/install steps, installing RT into /tools/pkgs/ 
rt-3.8.6. Now in trying to configure the web interface I hit various  
snags.

Say my site is "http://example.com"; and I want RT to be at 
"http://example.com/rt 
". I configured RT_SiteConfig and set WebPath to "/rt". I changed /etc/ 
apache2/sites-enabled/000-default and added:

Alias /rt "/tools/pkg/rt/share/html"

<Location /rt/>
         SetHandler perl-script
         PerlHandler RT::Mason
</Location>

(where /tools/pkg/rt is a symlink to /tools/pkg/rt-3.8.6)

The problem now is that I have to add:

PerlRequire /tools/pkg/rt/bin/webmux.pl

and according to some docs, also:

PerlModule Apache::DBI

These directives are permitted only at the global or server context,  
so given my sub-directory based RT setup (rather than a RT dedicated  
virtualhost) I have to add them to the top/global configuration. Or is  
there a way around?

When I do add these to the global config, I still get errors:

Can't locate /tools/pkg/rt/bin/webmux.pl in @INC (@INC contains: / 
tools/pkgs/rt/bin /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/ 
perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/ 
share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl . /etc/apache2)

Apache/mod_perl config seems to restrict loading of PerlRequires from  
only @INC. I have started reading through the mod_perl docs to find  
out how to relax this, especially for an absolute path as above for  
webmux.pl. But perhaps someone here knows the way to fix this already?

I would greatly appreciate any solutions or pointers to solutions for  
both issues above.

Regards,

        --ravi
