Installing RT

Another quick round after TRAC for a decent tracker for freemedia.
This is in continuation to my earlier post. (I already had apache, mysql… but isn’t that too obvious?)

1. yum -y install rt3
2. Installation location

   * /etc/rt3 - RT3 configuration files
   * /etc/httpd/conf.d/rt3.conf - RT3 configuration file for apache
   * /usr/sbin/rt3-* - RT3 "helper" applications
   * /usr/share/doc/rt3 - documentation
   * /usr/share/rt3/html - installed files for RT3 to be accessed via the web interface

3. A great help from now on /usr/share/doc/rt3-3.6.6/README.fedora
4. You can get rt working with either mod_fcgid or mod_perl
5. I never heard of mod_fcgid but may have heard about perl. So I go with perl 😀 (Don’t abuse me please.)
6. yum -y install mod_perl perl-Apache-DBI
7. At your /etc/httpd/conf.d/rt3.conf

LoadModule perl_module mod_perl.so

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

<Location /rt>
  RewriteEngine On
  RedirectMatch permanent (.*)/$ $1/index.html
  AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler RT::Mason
</Location>

8. ln -s /usr/share/rt3/html/ /var/www/html/rt3
9. rt-setup-database –action init –dba-password ******
10. service mysqld restart
11. service httpd restart
12. Here comes the most difficult part I faced during the installation, logging in.
    Well, after a long time I found the default username/password.
13. its
    username:root
    password:password 😀

Oh…I am working with LIRC and hope to get the hardware working by tomorrow.
Will post about it tomorrow.
err..do you have a spare remote?
