[[OpenSuSE]] 10.3

RT 3.3.6 Install on [[OpenSUSE]] 10.3 2008-06-05

Using: apache2, apache2-devel, apache2-example-pages, apache2-mod_perl, apache2-mod_php5, apache2-prefork, apache2-utils, apache2-worker, libapr-util1, libapr-util1-devel, libapr1, libapr1-devel, perl-Apache-DBI, limal-perl, pcre, perl, perl-Archive-Tar, (misc perl modules), mysql, mysql-Max, mysql-client, perl-DBD-mysql, lftp, ncftp, curl, wget.

Installed via [[YaST2]].

Note: Due to [[SuSE]]'s security configuration, you cannot use softlinks in -ANY- directory that apache will use. (ie: I moved <code>'/srv'</code> to <code>'/var/srv'</code> and then created a softlink from <code>'/var/srv'</code> to <code>'/srv'</code>. I then needed to edit the apache config files to reflect the same.)

cd /var/srv/source

tar -xzvf rt-3.6.6.tar.gz

cd rt-3.6.6

Note: [[SuSE]] renames Apache v2.x.x as Apache2, and various of its related basic commands similarly. Therefore, you need to create a softlink as follows:

ln -sf /usr/sbin/apache2ctl /usr/sbin/apachectl

Create rt group

groupadd rt

Configure CPAN in Perl (if not already configured.)

perl -e "use CPAN::FirstTime; CPAN::FirstTime::init();"

Note: I am installing rt in <code>'/var/srv/www/rt3'</code> (See first note above.) So I need to set configures prefix accordingly.

./configure --prefix=/var/srv/www/rt3 --with-web-user=wwwrun --with-web-group=www --with-apachectl

Note: Use RT's built-in dependency check tools to resolve any missing perl modules, etc.

make testdeps

make fixdeps

Note: Ensure the hostname of your server is configured correctly so that the URL can resolve correctly even without DNS. In my case: linux.local

vi /etc/hosts

hostname

Note: Install the RT application to the filesystem.

make install

Note: Create/Initialize RT's database

make initialize-database

Note: I have copied my [[RT SiteConfig|RT_SiteConfig]].pm file below. Modify as desired. Note also that I am using PORT 8088 for my purposes.

<nowiki># RT_SiteConfig.pm 2008-06-05 by Patrick S. Kyne
Set( $rtname, 'linux.local');
Set($WebPath , "/rt");
Set($WebPort , 8088);# + ($< * 7274) % 32766 + ($< && 1024));
1;
# EOF

vi /var/srv/www/rt3/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm

</nowiki>

Note: Now we need to ensure that Apache will load the right modules. I have included the APACHE_MODULES configuration line from '/etc/sysconfig/apache2'. I included the following modules: auth_digest, perl, php5, rewrite.

APACHE_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic auth_digest authn_file authz_host authz_groupfile \
authz_default authz_user authn_dbm autoindex cgi dir env expires include log_config mime \
negotiation perl php5 rewrite setenvif ssl suexec userdir"

vi /etc/sysconfig/apache2

Note: Now we need to configure apache's virtual host file. I've included mine below. Note also that I am using PORT 8088 for my purposes.

#rt.conf 2008-06-05 by Patrick S. Kyne
Listen *:8088
<VirtualHost *:8088>
ServerName localhost
ServerAdmin root@localhost

Alias /rt "/var/srv/www/rt3/share/html"
PerlModule Apache::DBI
PerlRequire /var/srv/www/rt3/bin/webmux.pl
<Directory /var/srv/www/rt3/share/html>
AllowOverride All
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
<IfModule mod_access.c>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</IfModule>
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/srv/www/rt3/share/html">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

<Location /rt>
RewriteEngine On
RedirectMatch permanent (.*)/$ $1/index.html

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler RT::Mason
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
#EOF

vi /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/rt.conf

Note: Now restart apache to read in the new configuration.

rcapache2 restart
