We are upgrading RT from 3.8.7 to 4.0.5.

We have some mason customisations under 
/usr/local/share/request-trackerx/html/Ticket/Elements. These work fine under 
3.8.7 but under 4.0.5 we are receiving a 403 Forbidden message and a blank 
screen.

The functionality of the customizations is such that a separate form containing 
custom fields are added to a ticket. When this form is submitted a new ticket 
should be created in a different queue, however the 403 and blank screen is 
being returned instead. The same mason file - 
/usr/local/share/request-tracker4/html/Ticket/Elements/ManageInventoryItems - 
is used to add the custom fields and is then posted back to itself as 
http://rt-url/Ticket/Elements/ManageInventoryItems

RT is obviously able to find the file and access it in order to add the 
customised form but when it tries to post back to itself the error is occurring.

We have tried adding the following directive to the 
/etc/request-tracker4/libapache2-mod-perl2 config:

<Directory /usr/local/share/request-tracker4/html>
   Order Allow,Deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

This makes the entire libapache2-mod-perl2 config:
-----------------
PerlSetEnv RT_SITE_CONFIG /etc/request-tracker4/RT_SiteConfig.pm

Alias / /usr/share/request-tracker4/html

<Directory /usr/local/share/request-tracker4/html>
   Order Allow,Deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

<Location />
 SetHandler modperl
 PerlResponseHandler Plack::Handler::Apache2
 PerlSetVar psgi_app /usr/share/request-tracker4/libexec/rt-server
</Location>

# Limit mail gateway access to localhost by default
<Location /REST/1.0/NoAuth>
   Order Allow,Deny
   Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Location>

<Perl>
 use Plack::Handler::Apache2;
 
Plack::Handler::Apache2->preload("/usr/share/request-tracker4/libexec/rt-server");
</Perl>
---------------------

We have  Set($LogToFile, 'debug') in RT_SiteConfig.pm but are seeing nothing in 
the RT error logs. 
We have 'LogLevel debug' in apache2.conf and the only error we are seeing in 
the apache error log is the 403.

All file and directory permissions appear to be the same as the 3.8.7 
installation. There are no .htaccess files.
We have also played around with the file's owners and groups with no success.

We have also tried playing around with user and group access from within the RT 
user interface.

Have there been changes made in version 4 that would cause this to fail? Is 
there a way of getting more error messages out of Apache or RT? Any other 
suggestions?

Thank-you,
Jenni.
