[rt-users] Debian RT install woes

2011-08-09 Thread Yan Seiner
Probably self-caused, but now I'm stuck. I need to install both versions 3.8 and 4.0 on our test server. We have a running 3.8 installation (on another server) and we want to migrate it. For now we want to try various changes on the 3.8 tree; once that's stable we will migrate to 4.0. So

[rt-users] RT 3.8.10 and 4.0.1 in apache vritual hosts - possible?

2011-08-10 Thread Yan Seiner
I've been struggling to get two instances of RT running on the same server. One is our current 3.8.10 and the other is a proposed migration to 4.0.1. I am installing from source. I'm finding that since FastCGI in apache is configured at the server level and not at the virtual host level, and

[rt-users] su for rt?

2011-08-22 Thread Yan Seiner
Is there anything like su for RT? I'd like to be able to check on users' ability to see certain tickets. It's disruptive to ask them (and keep asking them while I figure out which layer of permissions is causing me headaches.) Any way I can use something like 'su' to assume a user's identity

I have 3.8.10 set up with local users. We will be migrating to 4.0 with external auth. I'd like to keep the users' tickets straight but I messed up when I set up the original database. The 3.8.10 instance uses local users with first names all in lower case. Our AD uses first name and last
