If this is a new install, we highly recommend starting with the 4.0
series (4.0.7 is the latest).

There's even a request-tracker4 package in Ubuntu 12.04 Precise... and
it's security patched unlike request-tracker3.8 in Precise.

Looks like you're probably missing a section in your Apache config.

See the part about "Setting up the web interface" in
http://bestpractical.com/rt/docs/3.8/README.html

If you can't figure it out, we'll probably need to see your Apache
config to figure out exactly what's incorrect.

Set($rtname, 'Your Name Here');
Set($Organization, 'Your Organization Here');
Set($CorrespondAddress , 'addr...@your.domain');
Set($CommentAddress , 'address-comm...@your.domain');
Set($Timezone , 'US/Pacific'); # obviously choose what suits you
Set($DatabaseType, 'mysql'); # e.g. Pg or mysql
Set($DatabaseUser , 'dbuser');
Set($DatabasePassword , 'dbpass');
Set($DatabaseName , 'database');
Set($WebPath , "/rt");
Set($WebBaseURL , "http://www.your.domain";);

Fill in as appropriate.  It's fairly straightforward.  Again,
RT_Config.pm is quite well documented (perldoc RT_Config.pm and you'll
see all the options).

Sorry for being a little pedantic, but

First, please don't top post, the flow of the conversation gets lost if you do, 
Second, this is a mailing list, your signature is more than a little silly in 
this case.

Now on to the meat of the issue:
The best way to configure your RT_SiteConfig.pm is to open it in your favourite 
editor (vi, emacs, or nano) and then edit what is there using the RT_Config.pm 
as a guide to what you can change. In most cases, both of these files will be 
located in /etc/rt3/. In most cases, a minimal configuration will override the 
default rtname, organization, webpath, webdomain, and timezone.

These, and other options are fairly well documented in RT_Config.pm

Thank you for the reply.  There is no step called "make initdb" on the 
installation guide I'm using for CentOS 5.1 from the wiki.

There is a "rt-setup-database --action init" command though.  I ran this 
command with the --dba and --dba-password flags, using root and the root

I'm still unsure how to configure the RT_SiteConfig.pm perl module.

You shouldn't create an user in the DB, but as well you shouldn't use
root. User and permissions are created during 'make initdb' step. This
options can be configured using ./configure script as well.

I don't think it's good idea to mess with pathes of a system when you
havn't learnt how to configure it and install. Make a step at a time.

I am brand new to RT request tracker.  I am using the installation guide for 
CentOS 5.1 /RHEL 5.1 to install RT 3.6.6.

http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/Rhel5InstallGuide

I am stuck at the point where it wants me to configure the variables in 
/etc/rt3/RT_SiteConfig.pm.  The name of the server I am configuring for RT is 
"rtsrv01.domain.local."  The website I want to use is http://rt3.domain.local.  
For the dbuser, do I want to use "root" or should I create another dbuser for 
RT?  If so, what DB Permissions should I set?  Lastly, I want the "htmldir" to 
be /opt/rt3/html not the default /usr/share/rt3/html.  Where would I change 
that?

[rt-users] New to rt, sendmail

2008-11-13 Thread Allen Chen
Hi,

I seem to be having a lot of trouble setting up the email configuration.
I actually don't really seem to know what's going on... Does the server
which rt is set up on have to be a webserver w/ a domain name? I looked
into some webservers and it seemed that they wouldn't let me install rt
on it. I set up rt on a local server, and was able to get apache to
work. When I started a new ticket i received an email to myself from
"The default queue via RT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>." How do I send email
back to rt? Where do I change example.org?

Thanks,
Allen

If you're just going to administer RT, the book should be fine, if
you're going to be developing scrips and the such, you should use
perldoc and be proficient with perl.  I know that's probably not what
you're wanting to hear, but AFAIK no good documentation of the methods

RE: [rt-users] New to RT - doco frustrations

2007-10-17 Thread Christopher Short
Thanks Robert, I guess I've got a foot in multiple camps - I am au fait with 
perl, and might be doing some fancy scrip stuff later, but for the moment I 
just want to stay one step ahead of the users/the tech support team. I at least 
want to understand everything that ordinary users will see when they log into 
RT - for example "approvals". The most appropriate wiki page seemed to be 
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/ManualApprovals but it's not very clear.

(Also I'm not sure of the etiquette but I prefer to post all replies back to 
the mailing list in case the info helps someone else)

If you're just going to administer RT, the book should be fine, if
you're going to be developing scrips and the such, you should use
perldoc and be proficient with perl.  I know that's probably not what
you're wanting to hear, but AFAIK no good documentation of the methods
or data structures for RT exists anywhere.

[rt-users] New to RT - doco frustrations

2007-10-17 Thread Christopher Short
Hi,
I'm new to RT but am flogging it at my company so I'd like to understand the 
different features it has to offer.
It seems pretty cool and exciting.

BUT ... much of the wiki.bestpractical.com is broken-formatted and hard to 
follow. I gather that it's been switched from Kwiki formatting to Wifty, and 
that seems to have broken formatting on many pages. There's not a single 
mention of Wifty on the wiki, and I can't find information on the wifty markup 
anywhere. I see that someone else asked about the markup recently and got no 
reply.

I'll get the O'Reilly book at some stage, but it's over two years old, so I'd 
imagine it would be quite out of date by now - I'd prefer some online source.

Has wiki.bestpractical.com been superceded by some other site as the primary 
guide to RT?

thanks,
Chris
