RT does provide an ‘auto-install‘ script that should get all the Perl modules in place for you. Try it with the command:

make fixdeps

If it doesn’t work for you, here is a list of the Perl modules you will need, grouped in some semblance of order and sequence to eliminate dependency errors:

perl -MCPAN -e’install IO::Socket::INET’

perl -MCPAN -e’install IO::Socket::SSL’

perl -MCPAN -e’install Module::Build’

perl -MCPAN -e’install Params::Validate’

perl -MCPAN -e’install DBI’

perl -MCPAN -e’install Apache::DBI’

perl -MCPAN -e’install Test::Inline’

perl -MCPAN -e’install Class::ReturnValue’

perl -MCPAN -e’install DBIx::SearchBuilder’

perl -MCPAN -e’install Text::Template’

perl -MCPAN -e’install HTML::Entities’

CONFIGURE APACHE

Edit /usr/local/apache/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, and add:

NameVirtualHost ip.ad.re.ss

<VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx:80>

ServerName host.domain.tld

ServerAdmin email@host.domain.tld

DocumentRoot /home/rt/share/html

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

PerlModule Apache::DBI

PerlRequire /home/rt/bin/webmux.pl

ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/rt-error_log

CustomLog /var/log/httpd/rt-access_log common

PerlHandler RT::Mason

</Location>

</VirtualHost>

# need to add the step for SSL vsite as well

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

Remember that when logging into RT for the first time, use the username

root with password password (and then change the password right away!)
