*********************************************************** Your installation is almost complete. 1. If this is a new install, you now need to initialize RT's database. For MySQL: perl /sbin/rt-setup-database --action init --dba root --prompt-for-dba-password For this to work, you might have to tweak your MySQL settings For PostgreSQL: perl //sbin/rt-setup-database --action init --dba postgres --prompt-for-dba-password For this to work, PostgreSQL needs to listen on TCP 5432: In your postgresql.conf, set tcpip_socket = true, port = 5432 *********************************************************** 2. Apache users: In the future, webapp-config will install RT's Apache configs for you. At this time, however, you need to do it manually. /usr/share/webapps/rt//conf contains a template for your virtual host settings. If you are using Apache2, simply copy it to /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d If you are using Apache1, place it in /etc/apache/conf, and add the following line to your apache.conf : Include /etc/apache/conf/rt_apache1.conf ---If you are installing mod_perl for the first time, be sure to modify your Apache configs accordingly. Hint: your apache.conf should look something like this: LoadModule setenvif_module modules/mod_setenvif.so LoadModule perl_module extramodules/libperl.so LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so ... ... ... AddModule mod_setenvif.c AddModule mod_perl.c AddModule mod_vhost_alias.c and add -D PERL to your APACHE_OPTS in /etc/conf.d/apache ---If you are using fastcgi, read http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?FastCGIFAQ Don't forget to start Apache with -D FASTCGI ---If you are using Apache2 with mod_perl2, be advised that RT developers recommend against that. Also, note that you might have to explicitly specify index.html when accessing RT (http://localhost/index.html). You can create a Rewrite rule if you don't like that (there are instructions in the online manual/wiki). ---Finally, if you don't want to muck around with webservers, RT now includes a standalone webserver ( /bin/standalone_httpd ). If everything else is configured properly, after a few seconds you should see a message telling you that it is listening on localhost:8080 YMMV *********************************************************** 3. Restart your webserver (e.g., for Apache: /etc/init.d/apache restart ) *********************************************************** 4. Note that the default login is `root', and the password is `password'. It is a Good Idea(TM) to change the defaults to something more secure.
