[rt-users] New to Asset trkr, fails in conf optn

2010-04-28 Thread Ian Pellew
I have manually install Asset_Tracker 123 into FreeBSD_8 and RT_387 as the 
configure/make does not work.
Assets is now loaded and runs to the extent that I can go to the Assets page(s).
It fails with an incorrect URL from the Coniguration menu using user root.
All the RT Administration options work correctly from the browser URL 
http://f8/Admin; accept the new Assets.
Problem is that the URL in the browser status line is 
http://f8:8001/Admin/AssetTracker/Admin/Types/index.html.
This does not exist, whereas http://f8:8001/AssetTracker/Admin/Types/index.html 
does.

What have I missed, as this does not make sense to me looking at the source to 
generate the Assets and RTFM menu options.

Ian

Re: [rt-users] Can't locate object method _Accessible

2010-04-23 Thread Ian Pellew
Just a small point. Port 8080 tends to be the proxy port, sure you do not have 
contention?
I use port 8001 for my RT's.

 First you say you tried different ports and then the the same port.
 Did you mean different names? I've successfully run 3.8.1 and 3.8.6
 concurrently on different virtual hosts (without doing the db upgrades).

[rt-users] Execute my perl from command line

2010-04-20 Thread Ian Pellew
What is the prefered way to execute my RT perl script(s) from the command line ?

If I do something like:-
perl -I../lib -e 'use RT; RT::LoadConfig(); print RT::DatabaseType;'
It, probably correctly, fails with permission problems:-
RT couldn't load RT config file /usr/local/Rt/rt-3.8.7/etc/RT_Config.pm as:
    user:  someuser
    group: staff
The file is owned by user root and group www.

Same using sudo.

Re: [rt-users] at_123 configure Makefile no good

2010-04-20 Thread Ian Pellew
The URI http://rt3.fsck.com//Ticket/Display.html?id=12521
in http://code.google.com/p/asset-tracker-4rt/source/browse/at-REST/INSTALL
points to a live RT login !!
I think you are implying a patch for 387 ?


I am in FreeBSD 8 where both configure and the generated Makefile are a long 
way from.
The 'make install' includes a dropdb, well - drop AT tables - that do not 
exist, so fails
I create them manually OK, but do I need to populate them, maybe from a config 
option in the AT menu ?
The at-setup-database action seems to be setting up RT from scratch - so 
possibly AT is not going to be part of my RT, so I have got it all wrong?

I guess there might also be something to do in RT to get to the AT pages/menus.

I have not played with the likes of configure before, I am more use to the 
likes of HP/AIX installs, so lack the knowledge of how to tweek for multi 
platform environments. Configure is prity heavy going, even for the keenest 
Unixer.

[rt-users] easy rights maintenance q

Its quite a formidable task maintaining rights for all the this un that.
Is there a way that you admin guys maintain this via, say, Excel ?
Is there some SQL that can do this in the background.
New to RT, I find this difficult to maintain the whole picture of my small play 
DBS let alone some large production model.

Re: [rt-users] Installing: make fixdeps can't find Calendar::Simple

2010-04-19 Thread Ian Pellew
I've been building RT 387 of late and use cpans Bundle::RT install using cpan.
All this comes down and istalls OK (takes ages), but for the libgd library.
To get round that problem I use the ./configure of:-
./configure  --prefix=/usr/local/Rt/rt-3.8.7    \
  --disable-graphviz    \
  --disable-gd  \
  --with-web-handler=modperl2   \

I have built RT into Sun's VirtualBox guesting FreeBSD_8, not that that should 
make any difference.

Try Cpan, that got me over several problems I was having with the RT installing 
procedure(s).
Then your problems re-appear when setting up apache - yet another hurdle.
The internet is full of RT's this un that and all are old and almost useless 
for todays procedures.

The Asset Tracker 123

RT 387 running OK inf FreeBSD_8.

Had a quick look round and changing Makefile to reflect the correct PREFIX,

This looks like that often seen at the rear of a cow!

Ummm - a naming problem !

Still getting horrible make install errors.

I have a fresh instalation.
I look at the http_error.log and I see lines like:-

[Wed Apr 14 10:28:54 2010] [info]:

This must be saying what needs to be done as I have next nothing set up at the 
moment.

What is the #2/83 ?
Is it of any significance ?

Re: [rt-users] DisGrouMem index

2010-04-14 Thread Ian Pellew
From my experience with compound indexes (Informix), the optimiser will use 
the leading component of the compound, thereafter, it would force a scan of 
the table.
The column 'disabled' is in the compound, and very likely not be the first 
component and hence, a forced a scan.
Drop the index and you would deprive queries of the first component as an index.
This would be quite painfull if the first was used as a join component, and 
probably is.

 Is the index  DisGrouMem (GroupId,MemberId,Disabled) required for 3.8

I wouldn't recommend it.

[rt-users] New install rt-mailgate problem

But my RT is at /usr/local/Rt/rt-3.8.7/share/html

Cannot figure out how to get mailgate, and maybe the other tools, to use 
DocumentRoot.
Any suggestions pls?
