I would rather not delete that file myself without review from your side. To my understanding, it is unused and can be deleted. # fgrep -Rl 'rt_apache2_fcgi.conf' . ./ChangeLog ./Manifest The reason why I would like to have it removed is the use of AddHandler: # fgrep -R AddHandler . ./files/rt_apache2_fcgi.conf: AddHandler fastcgi-script fcgi Please see bug #538822 for why that is a problem. Thank you!
Update: I just found that my call to grep was the problem. The file is actually still used: doins "${FILESDIR}"/rt_apache2{,_fcgi}.conf So a fix is needed rather than removal. Please see bug #538822 for a proposed fixed. Thank you!
The included files are there as samples, but I have altered the fcgi sample. The admin has to do a bit of tweaking to make it happen, though. (In fact, we may want to consider removing them altogether in favor of the wiki.)
Hi! I'm happy with anything that doesn't use AddHandler or AddType :) I noticed the <Location /> SetHandler modperl [..] </Location> in there. I wonder if that makes modperl handle static content (if any) too and if that works or not. If the recommendation is broken (if!), users would probably add some AddHandler in themselves again to make it work. My vote for a comment on why we avoid Addhandler/AddType in that file (or in the Wiki if the file is removed). Best, Sebastian
I've already worked on the wiki article a lot. I've only used Apache and mod_perl as I use that combination for other things as well. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Request_Tracker If the other sections get the love they need, we can get rid of the samples we ship with the ebuild. I'm not so terribly interested in FastCGI or Lighttpd, and I don't have time to have an interest in them.

The intention is that RT is the only thing under that location and isn't being shared with other static or dynamic content. Also, the official docs has a configuration significantly different from what we're suggesting: https://bestpractical.com/docs/rt/4.2/web_deployment.html#mod_fastcgi Our wiki definitely needs an update in this area. As I mentioned, I've never used FastCGI so I'm uncomfortable with making suggestions regarding it, but have made the change anyway except with SetHandler. I think we'd be safe to remove the included .conf files, and any references to them.

Sadly, they have other examples using AddHandler on that very page, too. I guess I need to mail them to fix it.
