[rt-users] New install, opening index displays script contents or error

[Robin Cull]

I've just installed RT 3.0.10-3 from rpm (using yum) on a RedHat 9.0
(Shrike) system and am having a few issues.  

I upgraded perl (from source) to 5.8.4 as RT would not run on the standard
5.8.0 installed as part of the system.  I have Apache (httpd-2.0.40-21) and
mod_perl (mod_perl-1.99_07-5) from the standard rpm packages.  I've
customised my /etc/rt/RT_SiteConfig.pm, made the necessary changes to
/etc/httpd/conf.d/rt.conf and added "Include /etc/httpd/conf.d/rt.conf" to
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.  rt-setup-database ran smoothly with the options
I chose.  

Issue is that when I point my browser at http://localhost:80/ I get:

<SNIP rest of script, I think you get the picture...>

I think at this stage I should be getting script output not the script
itself.  If I go connect from another machine I get:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable
to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, root at localhost and inform them of
the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have
caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying
to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Can anybody help me with this?  

Thanks in advance.
