[rt-users] RT2 Speed/performance problems.

[Aleš Mustar]

Sorry to say this (don't want to start any flame war), but yer one hell
of a lazy admin. What the hell do they pay you for?

If you want to pull out the best of PHP, mysql, etc... There is more to
it then just simple ./configure ; make ; make install.

I admit that first i thought RT was a nightmare to set up, now I don't
anymore...

Dave,
	Maybe I am picky our just a lazy admin, but I believe that
decent system sould be maintainable, should be able install them in a
snap, reconfigure them, see what it is doing. You should be able to
rebuild in under one hour or less from nothing to live.

This was what I was referring to that RT2 has gone in the wrong
direction. The installation is a nightmare if you compare it to just
about any other Open source system I have had on my machines during the
past 8 years...

Look at what you have above, you have to tune, mysql, mason, the right
version, make sure that mode perl does this, make sure that apache kills
the process after etc....

I don't doubt that you guys love it and without it you would struggle.
Well maybe it is just me. I like systems software like postfix, Nuke,
that do their job and let me get on with what I should be doing.

Cheers,
Maren.
