Maybe also check your logs to see if any errors are being reported. We have RHEL and are using the 2.3.4 rpm from the OTRS ftp site. I believe 2.1.7 is a couple of years old though I can't say if that's contributing to your issue.

If yes, create a Perl "Hello world" and put that in same directory,
try to access that and see if it runs or offers download ...

Hey folks,

I'm running CentOS 5.3, and with "yum install otrs" I pick up :

otrs-2.1.7-2.el5

I restart my Apache web server and try to go to /otrs/ on this
machine, and it tells me Permission Denied.  No big deal, I go into
/etc/httpd/conf.d/otrs.conf and set "Allow from all" for the moment.
Restart my Apache server and I'm in business.

OK, great, now I can actually run /otrs/installer.pl.   It goes
through the installer just fine and then takes me up to the part where
I'm finished and I'm at the initial login screen.   Here I enter a
UN/PW and when I hit the button to log in, it tries to download
index.pl instead of run it!

I don't get it because the installer ran just fine.  My apache is
pretty vanilla from Yum for this release of CentOS.   I have mod_perl
installed and it creates a file /etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf which I
renamed to /etc/httpd/conf.d/a-perl.conf to make sure it gets read
first (alphabetical).  So all pretty vanilla stuff here.

I also uncommented all of these lines from that perl.conf and
restarted apache, but same problem.  The first one was already
uncommented from the RPM

LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
AddHandler mod_perl .pl
AddType text/html .pl
DirectoryIndex index.pl

Why does the installer run fine when it is .pl files, but the the
system itself does not run?   It tries to download the files.

thanks,
-Alan
