Re: [rt-users] RT 4 - install on Debian Squeeze
Hi, After redoing the installation steps the "cpan" part became quite a bit bigger lol I never imagined that I did that much but heres a list of all the manual installations that I've made using cpan. I also forgot to make a link for apache from sites-available to sites-enabled, but I hope most of you know that part already. Anyways, here's the part that you do just after ./configure.

Re: [rt-users] RT 4 - install on Debian Squeeze
Hi,
This topic might have been closed but I just want to reply with my Debian
Squeeze installation steps.
The steps are basically describing the installation from scratch while
installing RT4 manually. The advantage here is that you can follow the RT
releases instead of waiting for the Debian specific packages. (personally I
think that's ok)
* BEGIN INSTALLATION STEPS *
Clean installation of Debian Squeeze, this means:
- Only install the base system (nothing else)
- Make sure that things like networking work (DNS, IP, etc.)
After installation install the following basics:
aptitude update
aptitude full-upgrade
aptitude install ntp ntpdate sudo screen openssh-server acpi-support
acpid
I don't know why but I like doing these separate:
aptitude install build-essential
aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r`
Edit the sources.lst
nano -w /etc/apt/sources.lst
Add "contrib non-free", not really requirered but sometimes you need items
from those two sections. (I'm lazy and just add them to make sure that I
don't bite my nails when I really need them).
Then update the apt library:
aptitude update
Create the .ssh directory and extra files for when you use things like SSH
(I do):
cd /root/
mkdir .ssh
chmod 700 .ssh
touch .ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys
Up to this point you've only installed the base Debian system. The next
parts are specific for RT.
Requirered packages for RT4:
aptitude install apache2 mysql-server gcc make gawk libexpat1-dev
libapache2-mod-perl2
Check if Apache is running:
wget --spider localhost
Download RT and unpack it:
cd /tmp
wget http://download.bestpractical.com/pub//rt/release/rt-4.0.0.tar.gz
tar xvzf rt-4.0.0.tar.gz
cd /tmp/rt-4.0.0
./configure
Now first run cpan in order to configure it:
cpan
Do the automatic thingy, after that you'll have to edit the cpan config in
order to make the next part a hell of allot easyer:
nano -w /etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm
Inside the config there are two "ask" parameters, remove the ask part and
make sure it only contains "yes".
I'm doing this because the following steps are going to install allot of
perl modules and hitting return every minute or so is just too annoying.
Then, check what dependencies your missing, this is CPAN based:
make testdeps
Now install all the depencencies by using the fixdeps parameter, this runs
via CPAN:
make fixdeps
The fixdeps part will take a while and you might have to run it several
times. You might even have to manually install a few of those dependencies
(not too difficult).
After a while you'll be done, the next thing you could do is upgrade all
perl modules from within CPAN (optional since RT met it's requirements).
Now we can install RT:
cd /tmp/rt-4.0.0
make install
Edit the SiteConfig, this is what I've made:
nano -w /opt/rt4/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm
Set( $rtname, 'Request Tracker Name');
Set($Organization, 'Organization');
Set($CorrespondAddress , 'r...@some.url.com');
Set($CommentAddress , 'rt-comm...@some.url.com');
Set($Timezone , 'Europe/Amsterdam'); # obviously choose what suits
you
Set($DatabaseType, 'mysql'); # e.g. Pg or mysql
Set($DatabaseUser , 'root'); # Obviously make a separate DB for RT
and give it a special user with privileges for that DB. In my test setup I'm
just doing this with the root user (like I said, I'm a little lazy ^_~)
Set($DatabasePassword , 'root'); # My test setup has root:root as
user/password.
Set($DatabaseName , 'rt4');
Set($WebPath , "");
Set($WebBaseURL , "http://rt4.some.url.com";);
Next up is initializing the database:
cd /tmp/rt-4.0.0
make initialize-database
Now we configure apache to include the vhost:
nano -w /etc/apache2/sites-available/rt4.some.url.com
ErrorLog /opt/rt4/var/log/apache2.error
TransferLog /opt/rt4/var/log/apache2.access
# LogLevel debug
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
DocumentRoot "/opt/rt4/share/html"
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler Plack::Handler::Apache2
PerlSetVar psgi_app /opt/rt4/sbin/rt-server
use Plack::Handler::Apache2;
Plack::Handler::Apache2->preload("/opt/rt4/sbin/rt-server");
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Check if the new vhost is working and if RT is working. (as in, open it in a
browser)
During the first run it might take a while to show the webpage.
Configure the outgoing e-mail, default Debian comes with exim. In my case I
want the server to go to a smarthost, so run this command to configure exim
with a smarthost (pretty easy setup, you can rerun i

That's so nice, but too late. I struggled one by one. Oh well, this should be in the wiki or somewhere easier to find. Thanks, debian is great. G.

For our RT install, I found some Perl packages were too old or missing from Debian repositories, so I built my own packages. Install dh-make-perl and devscripts, grab and unpack all the needed Perl module source archives, then: dh-make-perl Perlmodule-source/ cd Perlmodule-source debuild -us -uc Now you have a .deb package you can install.
