I tried out www-apps/otrs-1.2.4, but i've run into a few problems. I installed with the vhosts USE flag, and followed the instructions. It didn't put things exactly where I wanted, so I manually moved the results over to where I did want them. I then went on to read INSTALL. The instructions talk about creating an otrs user, however the ebuild never did this. I created it, and also made it a member of the apache group as per the instructions (instead of having apache run as otrs user). The instructions also talk about performing perl -cw /opt/otrs/bin/PostMaster.pl . Obviously this file would be elsewhere on my system, but I was unable to find it. INSTALL also mentions running SetPermissions.sh, which I did. I got pages and pages of errors, and barely any permissions or ownerships were changed. In the end I chown -R otrs:apache everything myself, and set reasonable permissions. In the with mod_perl section of README.webserver.gz, it mentions adding various aliases. It then mentions apache-perl-startup.pl, which I didn't really understand the purpose of, but it didn't seem like it was something I wanted (optional?). And last of all it points me at http://yourhost/otrs/installer.pl (in this case a vhost). When I go there I get the following in my apache logs: [error] [client 192.168.1.9] Can't locate object method "boot" via package "mod_perl" at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/Apache/Constants.pm line 8.\nCompilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/Apache.pm line 6.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/Apache.pm line 6.\nCompilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/Apache/Registry.pm line 2.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/Apache/Registry.pm line 2.\nCompilation failed in require at (eval 20) line 3.\n I'm not sure where to go from here, any ideas are welcome :) Portage 2.0.50-r9 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r1, 2.6.7) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.7 i686 Pentium III (Katmai) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.10 distcc 2.13 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-mcpu=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx -msse -mfpmath=sse,387" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx -msse -mfpmath=sse,387" DISTDIR="/home/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs buildpkg ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo ftp://gentoo.netnitco.net/pub/mirrors/gentoo/source/ ftp://gentoo.ccccom.com" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/home/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/home/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X apache2 apm arts avi berkdb cdr chroot crypt encode foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg kde kerberos ldap libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mpeg mysql ncurses oggvorbis pam pdflib perl png pwdb python qt quicktime readline sdl slang snmp spell ssl tcpd tiff truetype x86 xml2 xv zlib"

Appologies, I do not understand why there are two of them.
