Re: [rt-users] Custom Fields Periodically not working
It appears that tickets that are created from incoming emails with attachments are the tickets that the custom fields are not working on. I see a note in the modules history that attachments were broken and fixed in a very early version. Any help appreciated at this point.

Re: [rt-users] Database relocated onto alternate server
Ignore. Someone showed me how to turn on DBI_Trace (which I'm liking quite a bit) and, I will admit, I found a subtle password mis-type I've missed for the past few weeks of tinkering. Fix that, revert a few code changes and voila - RT works.

Re: [rt-users] Database relocated onto alternate server
More Info: I can successfully connect through mysql command line tools, php test script and through a test perl script with the default apache2 config. This all leads me to it being something with RT's setup specifically. Once I switch back to the RT apache config RT fails to connect to the db. This is when trying to connect from perl 5.8.8, apache2.2.3. The local database was 5.0.32 which worked fine whereas the remote database is 4.0.24 which does meet the minimum required version in the docs. Any other ideas I can try?

[rt-users] Set Time Worked via email?
Good morning/afternoon/evening :) I have some questions about the time worked field and tickets by mail. Here is a brief rundown of how tickets work after regular business hours. Call comes in and is transferred to After-hour support After-hours support has their own in-house (non-RT) ticketing solution. IF a ticket is escalated to level 2 support, their system shoots off an email which is received by my RT system. It looks something like this: Owner: afterhours-support Status: stalled Requestor: john_sm...@yahoo.com Queue: AfterHours TimeWorked: 00:14:06 RealName - John Smith HomePhone - 360-555-1212 City - CityName State - State Password - None Problem - Caller is having a problem with his email in which he is unable to send or receive Solution - We checked all of his email settings and they are correct. Customer is having a hard time following directions, this is his first computer. We checked his firewall settings. They looked ok. We tried turning off Norton Firewall and email scanning as this will normally fix the issue. This did not fix the issue. Escalating. All the fields get set as they should except for TimeWorked. I tried to do it multiple ways, but unsuccessfully. I need to be able to have the exact time as well, Hours:Minutes:Seconds. Is this possible to do, and if so would someone be willing to explain to me how to do it :) Thanks in Advance for any help, Greg Evans gev...@hcc.net Hood Canal Communications ___ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: sa...@bestpractical.com Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
